Westport Winery’s varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, Charterboat Chick, earned 92-points, a gold medal and cellar selection designation at the World Wine Championships in Chicago, Illinois. This wine was made with grapes exclusively harvested at Discovery Vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills in 2012.
The label features winery co-owner Kim Roberts as a young charter fishing crew member in the 1980s. She and her husband, Blain, contribute a portion of the proceeds from each of their wines to different local charities. This wine benefits the Westport Charterboat Association. The winery’s tasting notes describe it as “an elegant, smooth and classic red fruit aria”. They suggest it is best enjoyed with a bowl of the homemade tomato basil soup in the winery’s Farm to Fork restaurant while listening to Aerosmith’s Don’t Want to Miss A Thing.
Westport Winery’s award-winning wines are exclusively available at the winery. The tasting room, gift shop, produce market, plant nursery and bakery are open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The restaurant is open for lunch daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and for dinner on Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information contact Westport Winery at 360-648-2224 or visit the website at www.westportwinery.com.
