Northwest Cellars — Attraction in Kirkland

I worked in the wine industry for several years and was disappointed in the wines served as well as the service. First, I had purchased a $17 groupon for a single tasting and bottle of wine. When I arrived, I was required to pull the voucher up before even being seated and then was instructed to choose 4 wines for tasting (most places do 5 or 6). I returned my slip with the selected wines only to be told that I had to give them my name, email address, and phone number before being served anything - WHY? So I walked back to fill in that information and returned the slip to the tasting room associate. I selected 4 red wines, and at least 2 of the 4 I think were corked or were otherwise stored at a poor temperature as they were sour, and the other 2 were just plain bad. Obviously not every wine at a place is going to be the right one for you, but they were undeniably bad wines. When I finished my tasting, I was informed that I would be charged tax on the bottle of wine that was supposed to be included in the groupon and I had no interest in paying even more money for wine that I wouldnt enjoy. When I said I wasnt interested in taking the bottle home, the tasting associate got all snooty and said "You dont want the wine?! Whyyyy? You can just give it to someone"

So for $17 (plus the drive) I got 4 pours of really bad wine, and had to deal with a fairly obnoxious tasting room...

We purchased the Groupon for 4 to Northwest Cellars for an afternoon wine tasting and scheduled our tasting for a Wednesday at 1pm. Due to Covid restrictions we did have to sit outside, but Bob made us very comfortable with local heaters. We were shown a list of the variety of wines they carry, all with phenomenal and accurate descriptions of smell and taste- and we purchased a snack kit of cheese and crackers as well.

The wines were fantastic!! Bob has been in the wine business for quite some time so he was very knowledgeable on their supply and the wine was very reasonably priced! They also do customized wine labels which was REALLY great great to know for future marketing purposes, birthdays etc.

We will def we going back! Don’t let the temporary displacement of the location throw you off, this winery has a lot to offer and the...

We love Northwest Cellars and had hoped to celebrate our grandson's 21st birthday with a wine-tasting of their fabulous wines. Thanks to NW Cellars' wine-tasting kits, we could make that happen! Each of us - our grandson, his parents and us - chose which 4 wines we wanted in our kits. The five of us were able to sample all 12 available. We were on our own deck, observed social distancing and no hugs - but still, it was a really fun celebration, all made possible by NW Cellars. The 2 oz. bottles provided enough wine to even share. I have often said that all of Bob Delf's wines are wonderful, and that holds true. Thanks for making our grandson's 21st birthday a really fun and memorable occasion. He loved it,...
