What a GEM of a wine tasting experience! No-nonsense, but everything you would hope in terms of service and setting.
Evelyn was who served us in our first (and not the last) visit to Patterson. We did the standard tasting of whites and roses which is 6, 1oz pours. Service was hands off, but readily available, warm, and welcoming. Evelyn gave us time to enjoy each drink, explained each pour and paused for any questions as needed. She was more than happy to explain differences in roses verses blushes, the definition of tannins, and how to anticipate differences between pours. We even had three additional samplings (at no additional cost) to help determine which bottles we wanted to purchase at the end of our tasting. We ended up purchasing three bottles. Evelyn is a true asset to this company.
We had a terrible/unethical experience at a nearby winery (Sparkman Cellars) and weāre so glad Patterson prioritizes quality, HONEST service. We are notoriously big loyalists to businesses who operate this way, and we are happy to return to Patterson on a regular basis.
As a side note, I only text 4 stars to the food because we didnāt...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOne of my absolute favorites in Woodinville. So much so, that I signed up for the membership and I feel like I made money. They have a customer appreciation pull tab on bottle for a complimentary tasting, so you can bring a friend or 10 friends if you want. The club also provides a few complimentary tasting per month! *check out their website for specific details. When I walked in (during COVID-19) The young lady that runs the membership program (Emily?) greeted me with a mask while socially distancing. She greeted me with such happiness, I felt like we were old friends. She added some chocolate to go with the port and it was outstanding. Thank you āŗļø
Thereās a pizza place here too that has an awesome list of crispy and delicious ingredients that feel, so light, you might order more than one š
I canāt wait until their patio opens back up again, so I can sit out there with friends and enjoy the awesome wine, food, service...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHad a disappointing experience today. Iāve been here several times and always ordered a tasting flight that was comped with a purchase of a bottle. But only after the tasting is complete was I informed this time that there was 35usd minimum for the bottle purchase. Their wine prices were conveniently priced at 28usd (did not qualify for the comp) or were 40 usd + forcing you to buy and expensive bottle or two 28 usd bottles. Itās good wine, and Iāve got the wine bottle I wanted all ways,but this time was totally mislead. Very upset on how this turned out, especially to go back and forth in front of friends and looking silly. Their cheese plate is just a prepackaged crackers, a couple of pieces of meat and a 2 cubes of cheese for 12 bucks. They said it came with roasted almonds and fruit. But it didnāt. Against being mislead. Total rip off. Not what it used to...
