Exceptional example of a California Pinot. Need to track it down because it is worth it — 8 years ago
Just the right amount of funk - it is funky. A healthy amount of hops works to balance out the funk, not too avante-garde, a bit like a good jazz track. Something I'd love to drink again. — 9 years ago

Ok, this is getting silly now. How can a wine costing so little deliver so much seven years down the track? Still plenty of years left in the tank. This type of wine is so delicious and satisfying that you could almost inhale it. — 10 years ago
Back on track after my not-so-good rosé from yesterday. Besides the Red Car, this is my favorite this summer. — 11 years ago

Sleight of Hand Cellars gets it's name from Winemaker/Co-owner Trey Busch’s favorite Pearl Jam song, Sleight of Hand. He started the winery with partners Jerry and Sandy Solomon in 2007 after meeting at an auction. Since then, Sleight of Hand has become somewhat of a cult winery in Washington. The tasting room is decorated with an old jukebox and hipster inspired by rock albums. You only need to walk into the winery to see their love of Rock n' Roll. The winery also has a magic theme; which grew out of their name. All of their bottles have imagery of vintage magic posters that inspired their labels and names. It’s easy to see that the tasting room has great music and good vibe. While they make serious wines, the owners are fun, humble and only wish to make the best wine in Washington. They're on a good track. Photos of; a wide shot of the main tasting area, Trey Busch-Co-owner/Winemaker, the cover of the Pearl Jam album "Binaural"...the album that the song "Sleight of Hand" is on and the sitting area of their private tasting room. On the nose; a touch of funk, dark currants, tarry notes, savory grilled meats, pepper, iodine, blood, herbs & dark, candied, floral with violets. The palate has M+ body & tannins. Black currants, black plum, blackberries, blue fruits, dark cherries, black raspberries & raspberries. Pepper, blood, iodine, grilled meats, black licorice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, clove, black cherry cola, fresh, red florals & violets, crushed rocks, loamy soils and big, round acidity with a beautiful, rich, elegant finish.

I can’t believe this is seven English pounds a bottle. It is incredible bang for your buck. Tomorrow I’ll be down to Dan Murphy’s for a dozen. — 8 years ago
Maybe, just maybe the best domestic Gamay I can recall having. Straight from the Seven Springs Vineyard, this is Evening Land's little brother wine and it shows. Soft flowers, white pepper, and delicious soil on the nose. Tart cherries, cranberries, and black earth. This baby's got the funk too. Really nice minerality and some great acidity. Light, refreshing, fruity, and so clean. Oregon delivers yet again. — 8 years ago
Nutty, nice hops, not so bitter that it runs over the malt. A good beer on a hot day. — 10 years ago
