Was able to get in, get wine and sit down as quickly as I desired (I was caught up in a fun conversation about the production happening just behind the counter as my tasting was being poured). We arrived an hour before closing, and being unseasonably warm in October, decided to sit on the upper outdoor seats across the parking lot. Adirondack chairs around wooden tables; which the tables are not level being tree stumps, but they are cute. This area looks to get afternoon sun to the west as I could see sun shading towards the direction of the sunset. The local deer were walking up pretty close to nibble on the adjacent plum trees so that was fun to watch and listen to their communication snorts. Excellent friendly Knowledgeable staff. I was invited to come behind the counter and see the fermentation stages being done. We didn't stay more than one round as we had plans for dinner but I will definitely be back.

They are a smaller local winery they immediately excel at making you feel at home and part of the family. They only had 4 wines for tasting purposes when I was there. The rose was the star of the tasting, but they were all beautifully done and interesting. I'm more of a red fan and they won me over with their Rose. I can't wait to see more from them.

A chance of wine: Steve Trabun and Russ Feist were…read moreaspiring home winemakers who met by chance when Feist couldn't pick up his grapes in Prosser, WA. It just so happens that Trabun was picking up his grapes and at the vineyards suggestion stepped in to help out. After that chance meeting and making some wine together they decided to take the leap of faith and start a commercial winery. That is of course, after they got the buy-in from their wives, Marlene Feist and Dana Trabun. Just to think, that random act of kindness of picking up another man's grapes led to the opening of Barili Cellars. Steve Trabun and Russ Feist, along with their completely on board wives add their personal touch to the wine making process. The winery was inspired by the Italians who believe wine is meant to be shared and every day is special enough to enjoy a glass of wine. The Barili story is one about good things happening to good people and fast friends going confidently in the direction of their dreams. One could say that the cellar doors of opportunity kept presenting themselves along the way. Sip Tips: After a quick sell through of their debut wines along with the encouragement wine drinkers pleading with them to make more, Barili responded with more than tripling production to 450 cases. 2008 Viognier was a victory (so good with Cougar Gold cheese) but their sophomore release had their 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon stealing the spotlight. Sip Picks: Best marketing label. This bright design stands out on the shelf getting your attention. The label may have you try it, but the contents will have you back for more.

There are many things one can look for in a winery to give it high ratings. Some places have amazing settings. And some places have amazing product. To say V du V has an amazing product is perhaps an understatement. V du V has THE best wine we've tried anywhere thus far on our Spokane wine trek. We tasted many of their wines, including their white blend, pinot rose, malbec (which was a surprisingly different malbec than anywhere else we've been locally), syrah, cabernet franc, and a huge cabernet sauvignon. Each wine was unique in taste, and across the board I was blown away by how aromatic the wines were. It has been a long time where I've encountered a wine that appeals so strongly to the nose. The owners were both friendly and proud of their product, which we've found to be a sign of a great product. Almost unfailingly, the more in tune with the product and the customers, the better the overall quality is. The owners, John and Kirk, nail that on every front. We ended up coming home with the cabernet sauvignon and white blend (which is unlike any white I've ever had in any state or country, to be honest), but I know we will be back. V du V easily makes the short list of places to bring out of town guests to try the best of all the awesome things Spokane has to offer!

We did a wine tasting of the standard six pre-selected "The Pour by Natalie Tasting" and then a "your choice" tasting. My taste buds were blown away! I have NEVER tasted a better Moscato! The Orange Moscato is knock your socks off amazing! The Sweet Riesling and Huckleberry d'Latah were both incredible, as well. I don't usually like Pinot Grigio, but this one was out of this world! The wines were so good, we came back the next day (before my son's wedding) and brought friends and family with us. We ordered wine to be shipped to Texas because it is THAT good AND the prices are amazing! With an average price of about $17/bottle, you just can't beat that! It is worth the cost of shipping! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. For a small fee, we had a custom label created for our son and his new bride to commemorate their wedding day! When we visit family, we will be back. In the meantime, I will be placing orders to be shipped to Texas. This is a can't-miss visit if you like wine and you're in Spokane Valley! I know I said amazing about a half-dozen times, but it is the perfect description!
