We wrap our #wawinemonth story with a trio of #lakechelanava #syrah. 🍇🍷
.
.
DAY 31 of 31: Syrah has always been top of mind for us. It makes up the bulk of our wine making program, and we dig its diversity, especially from those vines grown right here in beautiful Lake Chelan. In the 2019 vintage, we harvested Syrah from three different vineyards in Lake Chelan. The trio from our estate vineyard, Chouette Vineyard, and Clos Chevalle Vineyard will be available in 2021. .
.
Cheers to the Lake Chelan AVA, Washington Wine, and a month set aside to push us to share our stories.

We’re back to the vineyard as we wrap up our #wawinemonth story!
.
DAY 30 of 31: Here’s Charlie walking the vines this past fall with Kevin at @inlanddesertnursery. Inland is the main grape vine nursery in #wastate and in order to propagate vines for planting across the state, they have a few blocks of rare varietals throughout their vineyard. We are lucky enough to source #petitesirah #alicantebouschet and soon soon a whole acre of #carignan from them. They also own neighboring Meek Vineyard where we source Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Counoise and Cinsault. 🍇 .
.
Current releases featuring Inland Desert and Meek Vineyard fruit include: 2019 Rosé and 2016 Consonance.

All while supporting our local fire department! 👨‍🚒 👩‍🚒 Thanks Avi Gris the Wine Dog for the company. 🐾 💕 💜💛💚🧡

#throwbackthursday .
.
DAY 26 of 31: This collection of grainy photos is from our first crush in 2009. We started our winery in the midst of the housing market crash when our day job co-workers were getting laid off and we were left with salary freezes and tripled up responsibilities. We had just gotten married and then purchased a house that was all of the sudden worthless, but we had a lot of hope for what could be. We still had a dream and what better place to start than at what felt like bottom? .
.
We tapped into our tiny savings account and made an investment. We bought old, used equipment and found someone who would sell us some grapes. Our friends thought we were CRAZY for starting a winery in one of the first years where wineries were actually closing due to financial hardships. But we didn’t give up, we were persistent and slowly grew. .
.
We are proud of what we’ve built over these last 11 years, of what our community has helped us build. It is this solid foundation that will push us through this next set of challenging times. We have faith, hope and heart that a bright future is on the horizon for all of us.

#SipGlocal | Message in a (Wine) Bottle
.
Thank you @wa_state_wine and @sipglocal for inspiring and encouraging us all to sip on #WAWine, grab a good ol’ pen and paper, and reflect on where we’re at right now. (If we tagged you, we encourage you to do the same, but this is open to all!)
.
We wrote our letter with a glass of rosé in hand, tucked it into the empty bottle and we’re planning to seal it up in the foundation of our new tasting room building. Construction has officially started, and paused for the moment, but we believe in this future gathering space, and what better way than to bury this #WineCapsule! .
.
.

“Hey #WAWine lovers, Cairdeas Wine Club Family, and loyal fans - We LOVE you! We appreciate you. Your support means the world to us. We are helpers, it’s in our DNA. And to think that we are the ones that might need a help is a little nerve wracking. We are holding steady... your flood of online and phone orders is astonishing. Wine Club Members, many of you have had to skip our April release and that’s OK. We are thinking of all the ways we can help YOU, and support you during these times. For the rest, you’ve been doubling up your orders and sending notes of kindness. It warms our hearts, and keeps our team busy and employed. We are acknowledging the good in these times and look forward to our chance to pay it forward. On another note, and talk about interesting timing, we made a little progress on your new tasting room! Holes have been dug and we are prepped for footings. Social gathering is on pause in our current days, but we have so much hope for our future gathering space, a place where #friendsbecomefamily. These days will be remembered, a piece of history. So we’re taking this note and leaving it in a wine capsule in the foundation of Cairdeas Winery’s future. - ❤️ The Cairdeas Crew”

Since we can’t be there with ya’ll in person, we are opening up two bottles we would have brought to share (and included a round up of some years past). Cheers to all of the amazing #WAWineries out there - we are so proud to be a part of this grape family.

Rosé to the Rescue! (+ FREE SHIPPING)
.
DAY 20 of 31: Yes, we make rosé! One of thee most common questions we hear in our tasting room is “Do you ever make rosé?” The answer is yes, but it always seems to sell out before the height of rosé season. Last year, we made it allllll the way until July 2nd before it sold out - it was a record to say the least!
.
Our wine club members have claimed their bottles and we sent out a rosé pre-order to our mailing list members late this afternoon, and now it’s everyone else’s turn. Rosé (and more new Cairdeas releases) to the rescue in these uncertain times! We’re currently offering free shipping on any orders over 4 bottles. Links in bio!

Friends become family here.
.
DAY 19 of 31: We have the most incredible wine club members. Normally we’d be gearing up to gather for our spring wine release, but in lieu, we are comping shipping, sending wine early, sending notes of well wishes back and forth. It’s true that there are wine club family members having to skip this round and that’s ok, but many more are doubling up their orders to show support for our family winery. Our ❤️s have been overwhelmed. Here are just a couple of notes we’ve received this week. Your kindness brings us so much joy in these busy and uncertain days.
.
“I love your wines, what you all stand for, and how you do what you do, so I’ll be back for sure! Thank you for your grace! Health and happiness to you and your family.”
.
“Hope you are all doing well… I have been reading so much about the impacts on travel, small businesses and of course local wineries. One suggestion was to support those businesses that have offered donations to charities in the past and to support them now when it means the most. Great idea! You and the team at Cairdeas have been incredibly generous so we are choosing to increase our order for this wine club shipment. Thank you for all you do!”

Food and wine pairings are our jam.

DAY 18 of 31: We’ve been so lucky to partner with Chef Aaron Tekulve of @surrellseattle for almost four years now. He’s well versed in our wines 😂 and knows how to pair each course to match perfectly with each glass. While we’d all love to be sitting down to an incredible seven course tasting menu right now, our current reality doesn’t allow for such. On the bright side, at Surrell’s new restaurant location on Madison, Aaron and his team are creating some beautifully made comfort dishes for pick up and delivery, and offering buy-it-now experiences to enjoy when the dust settles. Follow their feed for more details on their food-to-go options and maybe add a side of Cairdeas wine while you’re at it 😉, I think they’ve currently got Seattle’s largest stash!

We’ve got the family vibe.
.
DAY 10 of 31: From the moment Cairdeas Winery was up and running, Lacey’s brother Charles (yep she also married a Charlie... no confusion there) was asking when we’d hire him. Our reply? We had to hire ourselves first! 😂 Our 2017 vintage, he trekked from the Midwest to Lake Chelan to test out the winemaking waters during harvest. He and his wife Kylie made the decision to move here in spring 2018 and a year later welcomed their daughter into the world. Charles is our full time cellar master, vineyard keeper, automation expert, builder extraordinaire, and pretty much the manager of the farm. Kylie, who works full time in health care, also tends the tasting room on occasion and helps out with events. It’s truly a family affair!

Delegate to elevate!
.
DAY 9 of 31: These two amazing women have taken on roles to help grow Cairdeas to the next level.
.
Danielle is celebrating 4 years with us... it all started with a “hey, would you be interested in helping us out on Saturday?” Which turned into every Saturday and then some. She’s our customer service guru, tasting room organizer, shipping department, charity lead, and so much more!
.
Kai walked into the Cairdeas crew life almost 2 years ago when she announced she was moving back to the Lake Chelan Valley. Without skipping a beat, Charlie said we have a spot for you! Lacey (in agreement, of course!) patched together a full time job description and Kai joined our team. She manages all of our events, on-site and off, you’ll find her behind the tasting bar, and soon enough she’ll be taking on a larger role with our wine club as our new loft becomes a reality.

DAY 8 of 31: CEO, CFO, CMO, COO... really, she’s the Cairdeas Winery glue. If it were up to Charlie, The Lybeckers would have waited around for retirement before starting a winery, but Lacey pushed them to just get started and continues to lead the way 11 years later.
.
We are so lucky to have such incredible women on our team and we look forward to highlighting each of them as our story unfolds during #WAWineMonth!

DAY 7 of 31: Tannin the Wine Dog came into our lives the year after we wrapped up our first vintage of making wine (June 2010). He was two years old at the @seattlehumane society and he missed no time in marking his territory - yep, we got peed on!Tannin is 11.5 now and although his age shows up every once in awhile, he’s still youthful in so many ways. Here he is keeping a watchful eye over bottling last summer and he’ll be doing the same when we bottle our 2019 #whitewines this Thursday!
