    If you are flying into Walla Walla... definitely swing by Elegante and say Hi to Doug before…read moreheading to wherever you are going and pick up a bottle or 2 or 6. Elegante is about 1/4 mile or so from the airport. It's super close and easy to find. Doug is a hoot! He is nice and has all sorts of wisdom and stories to share. He once worked on a strawberry farm... his main career was a high school chemistry teacher and athletic director for many many years ...... and now that he is retired.... and has time on his hands... he's enjoying his other passion as a winemaker. We blew in on a cold blustery Sunday morning before our departing flight at Walla Walla. Elegante was one of the few wine tasting rooms/wineries in the Airport District that was open on Sunday morning. (There are quite a few in this area... but not all are open on Sunday.) We tried 6 different reds. All were beautifully crafted. All are 100% of a given varietal. Doug wants the grapes and terroir to shine on their own. We were especially taken with the Cab, Tempranillo and Syrah. Each was an excellent representation of their varietal while being easy to drink. There were no overpowering tannins or acidity. These wines were nicely balanced and had great fruit and earthy flavors but again were not overpowering in any direction. All these reds were reasonably priced at $44 each. He could charge more but he doesn't because he wants people to be able to enjoy really good wine at a reasonable price. Oh! And he doesn't bottle the same varietal every year. Nope... if he doesn't find the grapes he wants that meet his very high standards... he doesn't make the wine. I love that! Someone who cares more about his product than inventory and $$. He invited us back into the production area and the barrel room where we saw barrels marked with "Zin". This is going to be the first time he's making Zinfandel. I'm envious and excited for anyone who gets to try this. Highly recommend stopping in here. It hits all the marks that I look for in wine. It's small production. It's quaint. It's personal. It's really good.

    I definitely recommend stopping by and meeting Doug if you are in the area and tasting wines! He…read moreoffers an all red tasting flight, and has a nice variety of wines. When we went, he had all single varietals, which was unique for this area. He also gave us a jock tour of his winery. We really enjoyed our tasting experience!
