Vinography Images: A Break in the Storm


A Break in the Storm
SAUTERNES, FRANCE: A break in the storm clouds lets evening sunlight fall on the vineyards and old estate walls of Château d'Yquem in Sauternes, an appellation within the Graves region of Bordeaux. In the famous 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, d'Yquem was the only winery in the Sauternes region to be accorded the status of Premiere Cru Supérieur. Its golden, sweet dessert wines are among the most famous, and long lived, in the world.

5 New Wine Bars and Taprooms on the Eastside

Seattle Times
June 27, 2018

Beer-and-wine lovers, take note: These new spots in Woodinville, Mercer Island and Bellevue are here for your tasting desires.

B-Side Brewing in Woodinville is now Métier Brewing. Todd Herriott, co-founder of Métier Racing & Coffee on Capitol Hill, and Rodney Hines, a Starbucks executive, have taken over B-Side but kept the brewer, Bob Thorpe. A major expansion is planned to the 6,000-square-foot warehouse, in Artisan Hill near the Winery Warehouse District. A children’s play area was set up, and on the drawing board is a new patio and an expanded taproom (current capacity is 50). The seven-barrel brewery system will gradually increase to 15 barrels. There are seven to nine beers on tap, from porters to IPAs, and root beer, cider and soon a nitro cold brew. Métier Brewing is still working on a food program — most likely prepackaged noshes or sandwiches. Métier will also have food trucks parked outside.

14125 N.E. 189th St. Suite B, Woodinville; 425-415-8466, metierbrewing.com
