  Full Pull Anniversary Week 4 of 5: DeLille Debuts, 10/6/2017

  (DeLille Cellars Chaleur Estate Blanc) Hello friends, and thanks for joining us as Anniversary Week continues! Full Pull launched about eight years ago, on October 5, 2009, and we use the occasion of our anniversary week to blast out some of our most compelling offers of the year. This is the fourth of our quintet of Anniversary Week offers. It may be Anniversary Week for us, but it’s Anniversary Year for DeLille Cellars. The winery – important to Washington wine history in general and the Woodinville scene in particular – is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Seems like the perfect occasion for Full Pull’s inaugural DeLille offer. To give you a sense of the scene when Charles Lil, Greg Lil, Jay Soloff, and Chris Upchurch launched DeLille in 1992, at that point there were exactly four wineries in Woodinville. Two are still around today (Ste Michelle and Columbia), and two are gone (French Creek and Facelli). So DeLille is the third-oldest winery still operating in Woodinville, and they essentially pioneered the boutique winery movement in the area. They were also among the first to make and promote Bordeaux blends, and among the first to consider items in the vineyard like row orientation (previously many of the vineyards were oriented to match the surrounding roads), spacing, and clonal selection. Pioneers to be sure, and 25 years in, the wines are better than ever:See key for # of bottles currently available.
