confucius says

We've teamed up with Fall Line Winery to create our second release of the Bordeaux-inspired Confucius Says. Fall Line Winery (named after the natural line of descent of a slope) focuses on instilling balance, grace and depth into their wines. It's a sincere delight to know this philosophy is blended into our signature wine. Available only at Wild Ginger and The Triple Door.

41 % cabernet franc : 37% merlot : 15% cabernet sauvignon : %7 petit verdot 

"Ripe cherries, cassis, fresh picked raspberries and a hint of menthol. The Cab Franc really comes forward with dried violets, worn leather and a touch of bramble. Lovely balance of fruit, with juicy acidity, ripe tannin and a long, clean finish." - Cortney Lease, Company Wine Director, and Mark Thostensen, Sommelier 

Oregon vs. Washington

Oregon vs. Washington ~ David vs. Goliath

But who is David, and who is Goliath? Find out at our last Summer of Riesling event of the season- Oregon Vs. Washington, featuring Brennon Leighton from Efest and Matt Berson from Love and Squalor on Friday, September 14 at 6:30 at Wild Ginger in Seattle.

Our David vs. Goliath event will pit Washington Rieslings vs. those of Oregon in a battle royale of Riesling. Following a dinner paired with wines from both areas, guests will determine the winning wine region. The victor will receive bragging rights, plus the opportunity to have their wine featured as the Riesling glass pour, for one month, at Wild Ginger Seattle, Wild Ginger Bellevue and The Triple Door. Wine from the winning region will also be featured in Wild Ginger's high-end glass pour selection for one month. The last Summer of Riesling event of the season is $75 per person. To make reservations call Wild Ginger at 206.623.4450.

Don't fear the Riesling

Ask any wine fanatic and they'll profess, wholeheartedly, that summertime is synonymous with Riesling. Starting on the first day of Summer, June 20th, wine lovers all over the country come together to fill and toast glasses of Germany's Queen of all wine- Riesling. Wild Ginger doesn't plan on breaking this joyous tradition. With the longest day of the year approaching, we can excitedly proclaim Summer of Riesling is right around the corner.

The Summer of Riesling celebration all started when one bar in New York City decided to strictly feature Riesling on their glass pour menu in 2008. The project, simply started with the goal of diffusing the notion that Riesling was sweet, spawned into a country wide celebration paying homage to a misunderstood varietal.

Wild Ginger welcomes you to join the annual shenanigans!
