GH is an awesome winery. Mike the owner is super nice and welcoming. I've come back here for the past 3 years for some wine tasting. This year we came for Spring Release.
When we got there the crowd just showed up. It was packed, but it was also very fun! They have 7 tastings to try, one from the barrel too (09 malbec)...best of all they didn't charge a tasting fee. I remember in the past that very few wineries charged a tasting fee in walla walla, but all of a sudden they started...it was nice to see GH buck the trend this year.
All the wines tasted superb and the cheeses paired nicely with them.
I ended up getting a petit verdot, merlot, and a used wine barrel...c'mon who doesn't want one for their house?! My friends like it too and one signed up for the wine club.
Everything is just great about this place and that's why its my favorite winery in walla walla.Listed in: Washington beer & wine

Just had another bottle of the 2007 State Line Red. One of the best wines ever! No really, it is seriously awesome!
I noticed on their website that they now have a 2008 State Line Red; I really hope it is just as good as the 2007.Listed in: Washington Wines

Jack: If they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot.
Miles Raymond: No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any f***ing Merlot!
Poor Miles, never made it to Gifford Hirlinger. I love, excuse me, I crave the Merlot from this winery. GH is an estate winery - they grow the grapes and tend to the vines themselves- and the lovely tasting room is nestled right in their vineyard. The wines are hand-crafted, properly cared for, and the end result is entirely satisfying. Great aroma, flavor and a pleasantly surprising long finish. All around a nice, approachable wine. And entirely affordable for the level of quality. If Miles ever does make it to Walla Walla, he'd be wise to stop into Gifford Hirlinger while touring the south side of the wine country for an attitude adjustment.
I love this quip from the website: "We control the process from the dirt to the bottle."
