Wines of Charles Smith
Few winemakers have a story quite like Charles Smith.
Although he was born and raised an hour from Napa Valley, CA,
Charles didn’t discover his love for wine until he moved to Europe.
While living abroad, he managed a number of rock bands,
including the famed Danish duo The Raveonettes.
It was the wining and dining of a rock n’roll life on the road
that sparked Charles’ passion for great wine.
4:00 - 7:30
Don"t miss it!

SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Wines of Austria
We believe that they are the best values on the shelf.
Wines that drink like others that are two or three times as expensive.
You can"t deliver better value than that!
You"ll have to make up your own mind.

Charles Smith Vineyards
One of the top 100 wineries in the USA
LAND TO HAND. VINEYARD TO BOTTLE.
Charles’ knowledge of and respect for old world wine making techniques coupled with his commitment to how people actually drink wine are what make his wines so unique. His reds undergo extended maceration on the skins, with no racking after malolactic fermentation is finished. This allows for longer time on the lees, building mouthfeel. For whites, he foregoes battonage, and they are fined and filtered for stability. And once they’re ready to drink, Charles says drink it any way you like it.
STREET CRED
In 2008, Charles Smith Wines was recognized by Wine & Spirits magazine as one of the "Best New Wineries of the Last Ten Years" and as "Winery of the Year" in its annual buying guide. In 2009, Food & Wine magazine awarded Charles "Winemaker of the Year"; in 2010, Seattle Magazine recognized Charles as its "Winemaker of the Year"; and in 2014, Wine Enthusiast also named him "Winemaker of the Year.”
