Welcome to the Fidelitas Wine Club!

Fidelitas is a family owned winery found on Red Mountain in Washington Wine Country. Our winemaker, Charlie Hoppes, produces hand crafted, Bordeaux-style wines made from some of the best fruit grown in Washington State. The Fidelitas Wine Club is really more than just a club. It’s more like a full service concierge program, where our members have access to top benefits, events and of course, outstanding wine. This blog is a place where our members can come together to see what is new at the winery, connect with one another, and get a sneak peek at upcoming releases and events.

Boushey!

I hate to pick favorites. If someone were to ask me which Fidelitas wine was my favorite, I honestly wouldn't be able to answer. For quite awhile, it was the Optu white, then the eight red wine, and also was loving the Columbia Valley Cabernet as it really started to open up.
However, I will say that I have really been missing the Boushey red since we ran out of it last fall. In October, the 2005 vintage received 90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and 91 Points from Wine Spectator, and then, it was gone. Since then, I've been patiently waiting for Charlie to decide that the 2006 vintage is ready.
Finally, the 2006 Boushey is on it's way! We'll be pouring it for the first time this weekend at the tasting room during Red Wine and Chocolate. After that, it is ready to be ordered.
I know that I've learned from my past mistake and will be getting enough to last me through next winter...

Jess A,

Got the pleasure of meeting you at the Red Wine and Chocolate Weekend.
You do a great job with everyone. My wife, Barb, said it was the first time she saw someone come out and pour! Very impressive. Hope to see you again at the winery and good luck!
