Julia Fitzsimmons of BC, CA won the basket of goodies donated by Piety Flats Winery! Julia wrote to us:

Hello Friends at Piety Flats Winery:

I want to thank you for donating the lovely basket that I won at the Rattlesnake Hills Wine Trail Passport party.

The candy was lovely we ate it for days on our trip. The hat fits and we will be cooking with lovely new products in the near future.

We had a wonderful time at the party and will return to the Yakima Valley as soon as we can.

Thanks again,
Julia Fitzsimmons,  BC. CA

Congratulations to Author Bob Dugoni ... from his friends at Piety Flats Winery for the release of his new book, Murder One: A Novel . Bob is pictured here visiting the Elephant Mountain Vineyards near Piety Flats ion 2010 with his son Joe and nephews.  Bob also spoke at the Downtown Yakima Rotary Club when he was in town last year!

Black Muscat is Back ... better than ever !

To our Black Muscat customers waiting for the new release.  We have a long and a short story.  When you arrive we will give you the long one but for now here is a synopsis of what happened.  Our grape order and allocation for Black Muscat was lost and thus Piety Flats Winery did not receive the grapes ordered from the 2010 crush.  To say the least we were not very happy.  But, from lemons comes lemonade. 

We went on the open market for grapes and came up with a blend of three Muscats.  Our winemaker gave us three samples and our final choice was what is in the bottle today.  It is just slightly higher in RS (residual sugar) but a bit lower in acids.  We have had it tasted by a few that stopped by Friday and they love it.  So now for the name.  We were so sad that we could not get the Black Muscat that we had to call this new Blush Blend to reflect how we felt.  Are you sitting down?  Here it is:

Three Muscat Tears

You’re going to love it.

New Release - Mercantile Red

Enjoy our newly released Mercantile Red. It is a truly magnificent blend in the tradition Bordeaux has made famous. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon,  25% Merlot (Bordeaux styled) and another 25% Syrah to make it just the way Mercantile Red should be. You will taste the fresh acids and realize this is a true winner.

A trip to Piety Flats is a trip into history ... This is the centennial year of the Donald Fruit and Mercantile building in Wapato!

Organic Apple Butter and Fruit Sauces from Washington State

The next time you're at Piety Flats Winery ... check out our new Savoring the Harvest Organic fruit products !

The exceptional quality and flavors are enhanced by selective monitoring of fruit and berry ripeness.

Ms. and Mr. Tall Discover Winery in the Yakima Valley

Looking eye to eye with all of his visitors to Piety Flats Winery, Jim Russi, going in at 6 feet 5 inches, greets his guests from the Ms. Tall convention held in Yakima Saturday night, May 15th.  No one was heard saying—1. “How’s the weather up there?” 2. “Big guy" or 3. "Stretch.”  None of which are insults, by the way.

As reported in the Yakima Herald, this group was truly a lot of fun.
