I truly believe that the experience is half the importance in wine tasting. While the wine here at…read moreLong Shadows is equally complex and delicious, Eric completely made the experience above and beyond! He is extremely knowledgeable, and puts time and effort into meeting and understanding his customers! We left with 8 different bottles, and the wine variety was appreciated across my group. We will definitely be back, and hope to work with Eric again in the future! We learned lots, drank fantastic wine, and enjoyed beautiful scenery at Long Shadows!

I arrived slightly early in the day when the place was still empty -- expected for a weekday -- and was warmly greeted by him. He asked where we'd like to sit and promptly began the tasting. It was an absolute delight. In the short time I spent there, I learned more about wine than I have in my entire life. Eric was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful in how he explained everything -- it all just clicked. My husband did a white flight, and I did a red, and together we were able to sample a generous range from their collection. We left with a bottle of Poet's Leap, which we're excited to open soon. The vineyard itself is beautifully set, and while it's a bit of a drive, it's more than worth it. The interiors feature stunning glasswork and have a chic, modern feel -- including the facilities . Long Shadows is now firmly on my list of must-visits and will be at the top of my recommendations for anyone heading to Walla Walla.
