Last month at Winemaker Picnic, we piloted a new way to save the w**es you loved with WineTap. By tapping the badge of a w**emaker onsite, guests could curate a digital list of favorites to refer to later, and now we're excited to share the w**eries (and w**es!) that so many of you wanted to remember.

A few patterns jumped out to us: Rhône varieties, especially Mourvèdre, turned up across multiple w**eries, Chenin Blanc got two spots, and plenty of you went off the beaten path with grapes like Saperavi, Carménère, and Barbera.

Every w**ery and w**emaker who pours with us is near and dear to our hearts, these ones were just saved the most by Winemaker Picnic guests. Swipe to explore the top 10!➡️

Our 2026 Honorary Grower, Luanne Holden-Boushey, was on Hot Stove Society last weekend! 🍾

As an industry pioneer, Luanne has no shortage of stories from the early days of Washington w**e. In 1978, she and her husband planted an experimental block, learning every hard lesson without data to guide them. Decades later, Luanne doubles down on the importance of trusting in your mission through the turmoil (and the importance of getting tickets to Winemaker Picnic!)
