Come join us for our November release party and taste the all current Locus releases and meet the three new members of the lineup: The 2013 Keller Syrah and the 2014 Modo Red, as well as the November event-only edition of Rich’s “Garage” Sémillon dedicated to our Baby Beyaz, who will only be joining us in spirit from now on.
The 2013 Locus Keller Vineyard Syrah is our first 100% Naches Heights AVA wine. It’s a relatively small, higher elevation vineyard from which we are extremely excited about sourcing fruit on a regular basis. The wine is elegant and refined, and soon to be extinct: We produced only 48 cases.
The 2014 Locus Modo Red is our
first foray into the “value wine” market (i.e. cheap and cheerful, easy-drinking… Modo means now, ready in Latin). It’s a blend of Merlot, Malbec, Syrah, and Cab. We believe it’s delicious and actually find it pretty rich in tannin (fancy way of us saying ‘it will last a few years’).
The 2014 Locus “Garage” Sémillon is the winemaker’s pet project. At last summer’s release party, you all were mad we could not sell the garage wines. This time we can (special permit apparently). The wine is dedicated to our recently deceased dog/child, Beyaz. We somehow thought she’d outlive us all. Alas, not the case. We will sell bottles of Beyaz Sémillon at $10 per bottle. $5 from each bottle sale will go to Seattle Humane Society – folks who blessed us with 13+ plus years of happiness and the occasional disapproving looks.
As always, we will pair the wines with creative bites from our resident Culinary Arts student: We’ve got some old favorites (hello, lamb pastry!) along with some new ones (cider-braised pork belly, handmade pasta, rye berry and buckwheat groats with chanterelles, and more) that will pair brilliantly with the Locus wines.
When? Saturday, November 14th. 1:00 – 6:00 pm
Where? 1515 Madrona Drive, Seattle, WA 98122 (One and a half block west of Lake Washington Blvd and Madrona Drive)
