Featuring Guardian Cellars
Come taste the wines built from dedication, community, and a story you’ll be telling after the first pour.

A cop and a reporter meet, fall in love

and start a winery. That’s the true story behind Guardian Cellars, and it’s exactly the kind of Washington wine energy we love pouring on a Thursday night.

Jerry Riener is the organic-chemist-turned-cop who became a fixture in the Woodinville wine scene—logging 40+ volunteer hours a week at wineries like Mark Ryan and Matthews before ever launching his own label. Jennifer Sullivan, a Seattle Times reporter living her dream job, met Jerry with a little “distrust at first sight”… until margaritas and a spirited debate about 90s dance music turned into something bigger.

When they opened the Guardian tasting room in November 2007, they released 375 cases—and sold out in a single day. The next vintage disappeared just as fast. Today, Guardian continues to craft small-production, powerhouse Washington wines—with the same grit, heart, and hands-on family spirit (including daughters Josephine and Jillian occasionally helping in the tasting room).

The Reininger Way

"A glass of wine is like climbing, because it’s all about the journey— summiting is just the cherry on top."

—Chuck Reininger

A Natural Progression

Every grape that grows in this valley tells a story of the massive forces that shaped our land thousands of years ago. Every barrel aging in our cellar is infused with these forces, as well as the spirit of Walla Walla—a spirit that has shaped our families for six generations.

The Reininger story begins with Chuck’s early exposure to the great outdoors, sparking a deep connection to the natural world and a passion for adventuring among the elements of Earth. He loved the journey to the summit, the camaraderie, the thrill of discovery, the underlying connection always being the land itself. After spending years as a mountaineering guide on Mt. Rainer, Chuck developed a unique intuition about the environment that made him thirsty to find a new way to “bring the outside in.”

After deciding a brewery wasn’t the right avenue, Chuck began experimenting with home winemaking and advancing his wine education with courses at UC Davis. He officially caught the “wine bug” when he literally got his feet wet crushing grapes for long-time friends at renowned Waterbrook Winery. Sharing the bounty of nature and the excitement of crush solidified a desire to become a part of the winemaking world, in a place where Chuck recognized amazing potential.

“I wasn’t a student of wine, I fell in love with where the wines come from.”

- Chuck

After following Tracy—now Chuck’s wife—to Walla Walla, they launched their dream of owning a premier winery in the promising Walla Walla Valley AVA. They ran Reininger Winery together for five years, successfully growing the business as team of two before joining forces with Tracy’s brothers and parents, fourth and fifth generation wheat farmers in Washington and Oregon.

The Present Day

Today, Chuck attributes his winemaking philosophy to those early adventures.

A patient palate and a trust in the terroir have ensured that every glass poured is perfectly representative of where it came from. It is this dedication that has made Reininger one of Washington’s top wineries.

Meet Darby English, the man behind the wine.

I am a 1st generation Washington grown winemaker and proud 20+ year resident of the incomparable West Seattle. My passion lies in the Rhone varietals, think Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne; but I enjoy making a killer Cabernet and Cabernet blends.

I believe in low intervention and minimalistic wine making; and I believe in winemaking as an art form, not just by the numbers. I believe in starting with the best fruit, and I don’t compromise on fruit quality so I put a lot of of energy into sourcing fruit from the best vineyards in WA for the specific varietals that I want to work with, fruit that has a sense of place. I love and believe in Washington wine.

My first commercial vintage was 2005, and I still touch and have a hand in processing each bin of fruit that comes through our doors; I am happiest when my hands and feet (yes, we still foot stomp all our Red Rhone varietals) are purple and my eyes still light up when someone tells me about a new vineyard in The Rocks District producing killer Syrah. I believe wine is meant to be enjoyed and not overanalyzed. I also believe wine is meant to be shared and enjoyed with family, friends, food, music, in an unpretentious way, for the sheer pleasure of it.

When I am not in the cellar you can find me with my daughter Ella, throwing the ball for Ash or cuddling with my cat Ros, cooking, fly fishing or golfing. Thanks for coming on this journey with me and thank you for bringing Darby Wines into your lives and homes.

During harvest, I will taste the grapes a few times each week to pick at the most optimal time. To ensure consistency in quality, Darby Winery partners with five of the best vineyards in Washington state – Dineen (Yakima Ava), Quintessence (Red Mountain), Discovery (Horse Heaven Hills), Stonetree, and Stillwater Creek (Wahluke Slope) utilizing only the best French oak to create delicious wines.

Thursday Night Wine Tasting - Michael David Winery

Thursday Night Wine Tasting - Michael David Winery

Vino At The Landing (map)

MORE THAN JUST A WINERY

Our roots run deep here in Lodi. With over 150 years of family farming, the Michael David name has become more than just a winery; it's a culture.

The Phillips Family

We and Lodi go way back. We’ve been farming this soil since the 1860’s and cultivating wine grapes since the early 20th century. Our founders, brothers Michael and David Phillips, are 5th generation grape growers who have raised their families in the vineyard, and now the 6th generation has joined the team, Mike’s daughter Melissa. We, more than most, understand the importance of leaving it better than you found it for future generations. Our family legacy and love of Lodi drive our focus on sustainability.Plus, we’re pretty fun too.

Winemaking Team

No matter what kinds of crazy stories you’ve heard, you can’t make wine with robots. Well maybe you can, we’ve actually never tried it. The real humans on our winemaking team, while slightly less good at some things (e.g. The Robot), are just really good at the delicate balance of farming, science, and intuition that is making our wine. Which is something we can all agree R2D2 really sucked at.

Rooted in Lodi

We’ve called Lodi our home for 6 generations, and our winery, still family-run, continues to stay committed to the land, community, and spirit of our hometown.Our unconventional collection of wines are all responsibly grown in Lodi, California according to the Lodi Rules, a set of over 100 standards that account for all aspects of making quality wine in a sustainable manner: environmental, social, and economic.

Hosted by Winemaker Brian

A great winery founded by two of the nicest people in Washington wine, Structure Cellars Winery focuses their program on high quality red wine that doesn’t break the bank. Headed by Brian and Brandee Grasso, Structure is located in the SoDo district and a nice buzz has been slowly growing over the past few years. I’ve noticed that the winemaking continues to improve, as Brian is a relatively new winemaker, whose wine story began in the restaurant industry where he was previously working in all parts of the restaurant Eventually he interned at Baer and then followed by training under Chris Sparkman of Sparkman Cellars before starting his own winery. Brian is a really easy-going, down to earth guy. He’s passionate and dedicated to making high quality, good value wines.

Thursday Night Winemaker Tasting with Vibe Cellars

Thursday Night Winemaker Tasting with Vibe Cellars

Vino At The Landing (map)

Meet the Winemaker

This will be a unforgettable experience where generations of Italian winemaking tradition meet the vibrant terroir of Washington State!

Located in beautiful Manson, WA, our Lake Chelan winery offers distinctive, approachable wines crafted from premium fruit sourced from top Washington AVAs like Red Mountain, Royal Slope, and Candy Mountain. Discover our Italian-style varietals and French Bordeaux blends designed for sharing and creating "good vibes" with friends and family.

Erik Cooper

Family winemaking roots go way back in time and place to the Piedmont region of Italy.  These roots are reflected in the wines, which are mostly made in the Italian and Bordeaux styles.  Erik is the winemaker, and he sources grapes from outstanding vineyards across several different Washington AVAs.  The first Vibe wines were ready for sale in March 2020, a challenging time to start a new winery, to say the least.  Another challenge was the lack of a tasting room, which was rectified by Fall 2021.  In October 2021, Vibe Cellars opened in Manson on a corner site with a stunning patio view of Lake Chelan and surrounding mountains.

The winery name and tasting room reflect the Cooper philosophy when it comes to wine.  For Erik and his family, good wine is about fun, accessibility, and positive feelings, or good “vibes”.  The tasting room is designed with these values in mind.  For example, there is a wall of vinyl records to play to create a desired feeling.  The patio is comfortable and welcoming, with amazing views of the lake.  There are many diverse events at the tasting room, including live music, yoga, sports on the big screen, and more.  The music theme has even influenced one of the wine labels, as its design was inspired by the classic Stratocaster Seafoam Green Fender guitar.  Vibe Cellars is a friendly and fun addition to the charming community of tasting rooms in Manson, WA.

What to expect:
Award-winning Washington wines
Great conversations with the winemaker
Good Vibes with friends (tag them!)
Ready to uncork some good times?

We can't wait to share Vibe Cellar wines with you!

Meet the Winemaker Thursday Night Tasting | Two Vintners

Meet the Winemaker Thursday Night Tasting | Two Vintners

Vino At The Landing (map)

Host by Morgan Lee winemaker

AN UNLIKELY START

During Morgan’s second vintage as assistant winemaker for Covington Cellars, he asked if he could produce a Merlot and Syrah, as the Lawson’s did not have those in their Covington portfolio.

Their response was that those varietals did not fit with the Covington Cellars story, but they would happily invest in Morgan starting his own brand where he could have full artistic control.

Thus, Two Vintners was born in 2007.

The name Two Vintners came from the collaboration between Morgan and David and Cindy Lawson. The brand launched when Morgan was 29 years old and had no winemaking education.

Fortunately, it worked out.

BUCKING THE TRENDS

Seventeen years later, we still thrive on making unexpected wines in Washington State. Morgan has a passion for making wines that make people think.

Wines that are equally delicious and thought provoking by using different varietals and winemaking techniques.

He takes a very artistic approach to the craft and aims to keep the wines beautiful, delicious, and accessible to everyone.

THE FUTURE

“It’s been a gift to be a part of the fabric of Washington winemaking. We aim to make some of the very best wines on planet Earth for decades to come, while keeping Two Vintners welcoming, unpretentious and fun. Wine is fun and it should be fun for everyone who experiences it. I believe there is no room for pretension in this industry.

Who says you can't be classy and have a great time all at once?”
