Hedges Bottle Your Own
17-Oct-2005
Each November Hedges Winery has a "Bottle Your Own" event, held at the Issaquah tasting room. This has become an annual tradition for me and various friends.
On the day of the event you head to the tasting room; check-in and get a tasting glass and tasting tickets; do your tasting OR proceed to the bottling area; grab the number of bottles you’ve requested; fill them; cork them; place the foil cover over the cork; label them with a special "Bottle Your Own" label; have your bottles signed by one or more of the Hedges family.
The blend for the event is one that is not available on the retail market. I think normally they use small batches of grapes that weren’t large enough for their main production. Many of Hedges grapes come from Red Mountain, considered by many to be Washington’s premier wine country, and this blend is usually mostly from this area, however the blend varies from year to year.
The bottles are magnums – the only size available – and are about $40 each. This year’s event is Saturday and Sunday, November 19 and 20. The event will sell out so the sooner you register the better!
