Christine E. said: "We really enjoy these wines... some so reasonably priced so you don't worry about indulging on a weeknight once in a while. That would be their Gecko Malbec label for me. If there is goat cheese involved, it must be the MFC Primitivo.…" read more »

Review from Quynh-An P.

I'm a huge fan of Page's "Ros-eh" and always buy a few bottles every year. It's my go-to wine, as it goes with a lot of different meals and is fun to drink with alone. I tend to like it when it's a bit sweeter, but even when it's a bit dry it's a great wine. At around $15/bottle, it's a great deal as well!
Page's owners are also always so nice to the boyfriend and I...and for some reason I get the feeling that they recognize us whenever we come in (I wonder how many young asian couples they get coming in every few months) as well. It's usually the first place we go to when we make our warehouse winery tour because we like it so much!
Additionally, every year they do a lips contest and chose a pair of lips to grace the next year's bottle of "Lick my Lips" syrah. I'm hoping that someday my lips will grace the label as syrahs also happen to be my favorite type of wine! -

This is a winery who delivers on producing solid and affordable wine. Not only that, if you have the chance to attend one of their release parties, I strongly suggest you take advantage of it. They know how to spoil their patrons with live music, great food and of course excellent vino!
I took advantage of such an opportunity last Saturday for the release of their Nouveau Merlot. This wine was done in the Beaujolais Style, young, light, fresh and delicious w/spice and berry compliments. The grapes were picked in September and the wine was bottled on Tuesday. I took home 2 bottles to share for Thanksgiving as this will compliment almost any dish! Seriously though, I don't know of another local winery doing this style and it is SO worth a try, you must go check it out!
Another one of my favorites is their Libra De Carta red blend. A blend of primarly Cabernet/Merlot w/Malbec and Syrah. This has the most amazing black pepper finish. Their Lick My Lips Syrah is one of their more popular wines and with one taste you can see why. Loads of berry yet smooth and delicious.
Not only is their product great, nor do they only put on a fun release party, they are always incredibly welcoming and hospital every time you visit. There is no pretention here, go enjoy the wine and company and you can be certain you'll have a great time!Listed in: Hi my name is Nicki and I am a…

Page has a very friendly enviroment and they will tell you just about everything in the wine making process. There tasting room is small but perfect for being in the warehouse district of woodinville. However it is not for my taste buds. I think the wine is not as good as some I have tasted. If i were judging on wine it would be a much lower score. But it has good environment therefore 4 stars.

My least favorite tasting of the tour. I don't know if it's because I'd just come from 5 other places but I felt the host wasn't that friendly.
For $5, we were allowed to taste 4. Usually, I get to have three sips and decide if I like the wine. At this cellar, they poured just enough for me to wet my whistle once. Hm.
And then the host told this crazy story about the cork bird house on the counter. I noticed it and she mentioned it was built by their first wine club member, making it a point to say he was mentally challenged and he and his wife showed up with it 3 months after they gave him the corks. Er. Um. Wha?
In any case, it was okay. -

We had a wonderful time here, great wine, food and live music. All of the wine we tasted was very good, picked up a bottle here while we were on Woodinville Passport Weekend. All of the staff they had on hand that day were very friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend them, especially during an event, they know how to have a good time!!
They also have bottles that aren't pricey, but are a great value, not just cheap! -

On Feb 5 2011, Page held a party for the release of the 2008 Lick My Lips;
I tasted:
- 2009 Sauvignon Blanc ($20):
crisp and clean
salmon friendly
- 2007 The Norseman ($25):
100% Red Mountain Merlot
seemed just a bit harsh on the finish
will benefit from additional cellaring
- 2008 Lick My Lips ($27):
New Release syrah
drinking quite well now
a dense wine
- 2005 Syrah ($30):
also smooth and fragrant
- 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon ($30):
Red Mountain
My favorite of the afternoon
chewy but approachable
Cheeses, mini quiches, and cream puffs were served
This was a fun party.... -

I passed on reviewing a bunch of different restaurants and breweries, for my 100th review, because I wanted this one to be FIVE stars and nothing less. Choosing what to write about, once I got out of the restaurant/ale continuum, wasn't all that hard: Page Cellars.
Maybe it's their labels, which look like someone's teenage art student did them, or maybe it's just that they've been around for a few years, tucked away out there in the Woodinville Wine Ghetto off 144th Street, or maybe it's just that they aren't the "Flavor of the Month", anymore. There are always a TON of new, bright, shiny, flashy wineries that everybody just MUST try, so the veterans (i.e., the people who actually have **experience** making wine and KNOW what they're trying to achieve) like Januik, DiStefano, JM, and Matthews can sorta get lost in the shuffle. I don't know what, exactly but page Cellars is *easily* the most overlooked and under-rated fine winery in this entire state. Bottle for bottle, vintage after vintage, there are very few wineries in the entire region that make wines with more character, finesse, and plain old-fashioned drinkability that what Jim and Rothelle Page pour at their tasting bar, every weekend of the year.
Right now, for example, Jim has a gorgeous Sauvignon Blanc (and kudos to him for passing on making yet another knee-jerk Chardonnay) that drips Bordeaux character while offering up waves of that hallmark Red Mountain earthiness and depth. For 2009, also, Jim has whipped up a rose - called "Rose-eh" Get it? - that's an adventurous blend of Red Mountain Cab and Syrah; a light, fresh rethinking of the leathery muscle that shows up in that blend as a full-strength red.
His reds, almost all of 'em, are velvety, big, and refined. The signature bottling, "Preface", is just flat-out one of Washington's top blends every single vintage. All Red Mountain fruit, from the amazing and somewhat unsung E & E Shaw Vineyard, this is a complex, engaging mix of 90% fat, jazzy Cab, with five percent each of Merlot and Cab Franc. It evolves remarkably as it breathes and the tannins, while firm and promising graceful aging, are understated enough to make it very drinkable right now.
The "Lick My Lips" Syrah is just simply Sex in a Bottle. One of the most purely delicious wines of any type you're going to taste this year, this stuff is as aromatic as a South Georgia high school prom, sinfully rich, and powerful in that lithe, uncloying Columbia Valley manner. If someone offered to treat me to any wine in Washington - to simply sit, sip, and enjoy - this one and *maybe* four others would have to be in the discussion.
The '05 "Libra" is a winemaker's blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 8% Malbec, and 4% Syrah, with a rustic, earthy style that begs for food and blossoms as it stays open and breathes. And the Limited Edition Cab 2005 is a towering, stately, dark 'n' mysterious bottle of ink that shows an almost-Old World structure married to a purely American drinkability. Just a beautiful wine.
The Page tasting room is a comfortable, congenial place and the Pages themselves, Jim and his wife Rothelle, could hardly be nicer. Their genuine warmth and friendliness are at the heart of their appeal and of the style and quality of their wines. It should be noted, too, that here in the age of the rapidly-expanding sticker, the Pages have held to their prices far better than most other in-state producers. There is no bottle in their stable that is over $40 and the "Libra" and "Lick My Lips", at $27 apiece, are irresistible bargains.
I'm very happy to be the first to review Page and to gently remind you, as a wine lover or a wine-lover-wannabe, of one of Washington's best Open Secrets, a winery that's only minutes away, affordable, and among the most consistently-crowd-pleasing in this entire corner of the country.Listed in: Woodinville Winery Rankings
