Mosquito Fleet Winery

Discovered this winery a few years ago. We just attended the 2013 vintage release party last weekend. (Free for Captains club members!) They offered tastings of five of their current releases along with gourmet food parings and their latest excellent port served in chocolate edible cups. Classy event put on by great local owners. I have never had better wine served anywhere. If you love red wine you don’t want to miss visiting this outstanding boutique winery. Enjoy!

There’s a winery where? In Belfair? Well I’ll be damned.
This is not something I expected to run across, however my local guides brought me here to do a little tasting. These folks are making interesting wines from grapes brought over from the Columbia gorge and Walla Walla. Pepper Bridge, etc. Solid large vineyards that produce great fruit.
The wines here are tasty in general, but what really surprised me was the port. A rosso style port made from an actual port varietal. The Grifferson Reserve is really, really good rosso port dessert wine. I sampled both the 2011 and the 2012 and they’re both pretty amazingly tasty. At $ 50 a bottle, they should be! In general the prices here reflect the small-​batch size of the winery. Not inexpensive or value wines, but interesting stuff made well — this kind of production doesn’t lend itself to value wines.
Friendly staff, fun little industrial tasting room, good wines. Worth a stop if you’re in the hood!

Best wine I have ever had! They continuously score high points. It’s hard to find another wine that compares. They have lots of fun things happening their also. My favorite is the wine tasting dinners. Food and their wine are top notch!

Got the opportunity to meet these fine folks at a commercial real estate event I was attending in Renton recently. Loved their Cab Franc and would have bought more if they’d had it there. Also enjoyed their meritage and Syrah.
