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.

Seattle Wine Awards

How could I forget? A few Sundays ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Seattle Wine Awards. Fidelitas won a whopping five medals that day, including three golds for the Optu red wine, Optu white wine and Ciel du Cheval Cabernet. This is a particularly special award for us, as we are being judged mainly by our peers. The panel is comprised of Seattle-area sommeliers, wine buyers and other professionals in the industry. I will say, we were up against a lot of good competition, but I am very happy with the results.
The event was hosted at the lovely Rainier Club. It really is a neat venue, and pretty cool to see a lot of Seattle history in one place. It's also nice that the one time Boys-club decided to let us ladies in.
A big thank you to Christopher Chan and the rest of the panel!

A little, gritty picture - but you get the idea
