Our spring recipe series starts here: These Sweet Pepper Drop Cheese Bites — a fun little upgrade on pimento cheese (minus the pimentos - not our jam) are stacked on crisp dried apples and dusted with paprika, Aleppo pepper, and fresh chives. Sweet, smoky, and a little playful, they’re a natural match for the mineral, lifted character of our 2024 Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect for Mother’s Day brunches, Kentucky Derby parties, or warm backyard hangs, this lineup was made for sunny tables and chilled glasses. This is recipe one in a four‑part series. Stay tuned… Get the recipe at gardwine.com/blog

Friday Fun Fact: 100% of our wines come from vineyards we farm ourselves. Control freaks? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely.

Woodinville crew, you made last weekend a blast! Thanks to everyone who came out for a sneak peek of the 2025s with winemaker Matías Kúsulas. The wines were showing beautifully and the conversations were even better. Walla Walla: Matías is heading your way next! Stay tuned... 🥂

We usually talk wine, vineyards, and pairings — but today, we’re zooming out. Ellensburg isn’t just where we pour; it’s a town full of character, creativity, and hidden gems worth sharing! One of the questions we get the most behind the bar is, “Where should we go next?” So I put together a local’s guide to downtown Ellensburg, packed with the places we love and the flavors you shouldn’t miss. I hope it helps you fall for this place the way I have. Peruse my picks, and plan your next visit here: www.gardwine.com/blog - Riley, Wine Club Manager 📸: My Ellensburg
