The Tasting Room is Open  Hamilton Cellars Richland Tasting Room Located in Eastern Washington, Hamilton Cellars is the first official winery in Richland Washington!

Giving Wine Gifts

You Can Always Gift Wine Let's not forget, one of the best wine gifts is a gift of wine, one you personally enjoy. My first impulse is to gift someone a bottle of wine for their birthday, anniversary or house warming. Many of Washington States fine wineries provide convenient online purchasing options from their Web sites. If you can't purchase the wine online, then call the winery to see if they are able sell and ship direct to you or your friends. If you have time to browse this site, then you should be able to find something you or your friends will enjoy. I  usually provide links direct to the wineries Web page when I review or mention the wines I enjoy. Good luck, Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings and most of all Cheers!
