Hands down one of our favorite wineries on Red Mountain. My husband and I are members at Cooper and…read morehave thoroughly enjoyed their wines. Cooper is a family run winery and is all about the Bordeaux-style reds. Their wines are exclusively made from their estate vineyards. We've also had the chance to attend their annual CoopFest event. This event is a chance for members to get together and enjoy the wines. We had a lot of fun walking through their vineyards and stopping at multiple stations to taste their wines including their Gatekeeper line up. Their Gatekeeper line highlights varietals such as Sangiovese, Syrah, Nebbiolo, and Zinfandel. Their tasting room is in the same building as their barrel room, production area, and fermentation room. There are tables on the ground floor, however the tasting room is located on the mezzanine level. There's a long bar top and multiple tables to accommodate large parties. We've had numerous tastings and always walked away even more in love with their wines. Our favorites are the C4, Merlot, Carménère, Cab Sauvignon, and their Gatekeeper Nebbiolo. Service is fantastic and true to their mantra. You feel like you are part of the CoopClub. We are happy we stumbled upon this winery and excited to taste future releases!

Cooper is a great winery. Staff is awesome, wine is awesome!! Recommend this winery to everyone!!read more

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.

As a beginner quilter, I truly appreciated the helpful women and mentors of the quilter's guild, as they were so warm and welcoming.

I look forward to returning on a future visit to the tri-cities. Thank you all for a memorable visit.

They were the only place open that had food even if it was a holiday. We had their chicken Alfredo Mac & cheese and their steak platter. Both were great! Not what we were expecting. Both were flavorful and great. Wonderful food prepared by Mike. The Mac & cheese I had was creamy and flavorful. Completely satisfied my pasta craving! And my BF had the steak and completely satisfied his craving. So happy we stopped by. Also, Maria was awesome!!! She can make a really good Long Island! Perfectly balanced!!! Will stop by again when we are in the area.

I gauge a winery based on the owners and their behavior. Not long ago, the owner, Lynda Loscoe,…read morecame into a tasting room I work at. She and her husband enjoyed the wines, and I went and poured them more than what we normally serve. There is a tradition in the wine industry that you get free tastings at (most) tasting rooms. It's a professional courtesy thing. There is also the trade discount, which is anywhere from 20-35%. Our is 25%. I take pride in my abilities and service. At the end of the tasting, with $60 worth of free wine and the discount, this woman gave me just over $6 in a tip. For over and hour of dedicated attention and professionalism, this was my reward. I'm sure the tasting room is nice and all and the service is great, but based on the owner's lack of grace and kindness I have to wonder how she trains her staff. If you're in the wine trade and looking for recommendations I'd stay well clear. But if Ms. Loscoe is there ask for everything and then leave a worthless tip.
