Rio Jean Photography - Walla Walla, WA {Dusted Valley Winery}

Ok..I know..I've been slacking on my wine duties!  So I was finally able to find some time to review some wineries this past weekend.  A long time friend of mine talked my into visiting the wineries in Walla Walla and I decided to give it shot.  I hadn't been there in over 15 years and I have to say I was totally surprise by how much Walla Walla has grown! There are a ton of wineries there, enough to keep me busy for a very long time.  First up is Dusted Valley Winery.  This was an impromptu stop, actually it was my last stop and it ended up being my favorite winery this visit.

The tasting room is on the lower floor of the owner's house, super cute inside! Dusted Valley was the 52nd winery to open up in Walla Walla and they decided on the name "Dusted Valley" as that is one of the things Walla Walla is known for.  Of course while I was there, guess what happened?  A dust storm came through, how fitting, right!?

Dusted Valley has been around for about 10 years and is a family owned winery.  Their wine club, is called STS - Stained Tooth Society! Isn't that an awesome name?  I have seen many wine clubs and this one's name is the best so far, I just want to join so I can say I am a Stained Tooth Society Member!

This Winery does mainly reds with a rose and chardonnay, and I LOVED all of their red wines, I bought them all!  First time I have loved a winery's wine that much.

One non related fact, while I was chatting it up with the tasting room gal, she mentioned that "The Rocks" (one region where a lot of the wineries source their grapes from) will be a sub AVA of Walla Walla Valley AVA! I don't know why I am excited about that, but I am!

If you find yourself in Walla Walla or Woodinville, make sure to stop by and try out these wines, you won't be sorry!  Now, go get your wine on!

*Sorry about the lack of pictures, as previously stated this was an impromptu stop!

Looking forward to doing a formal review of the winery!

Cheers,
Melanie
