Owen Sullivan Winemaker Tasting
Thursday, May 29 5:00 to 6:30 pm
One of Washington’s new wineries, these wines are packed with flavor! O•S Winery started life as a partnership between Rob Sullivan and Owen with one thing in mind: producing irresistible, jaw-dropping wines. Securing fruit from the best vineyards and working with growers on the details of viticulture was and remains the foundation of our endeavor. Their focus since the beginning has been on select sites and low yields combined with a winemaking ethic centered on simplicity (i.e. no fining, no filtering, gravity fed production) all with one aim: Opulent, Voluptuous, Concentrated Red Wines. YUM!!

College Cellars of Walla Walla is a teaching winery located at the Center for Enology and Viticulture on the campus of Walla Walla Community College. It is one of the only two-year teaching commercial wineries in the United States. These wines are crafted by students as a part of their study of the science of winemaking. Join us for a sampling of the wines of College Winery!
