Our Three Forks Rosé was named as a nod to the convergence of the three forks of the Snoqualmie River near our North Bend Winery. This was part of our brand’s history from 2016-2022, but starting with the 2023 vintage, our rosé will be called “Termination Winds Rosé”, as a nod to our new location in eastern Washington.
The Tri-Cities area has a rich history related to World War II, and Termination Winds is a term that relates to that era. When the spring winds would kick up and cause such harsh conditions, it served as the breaking point for some people to terminate their employment and move away! We love how this fits with our “weather” theme and references the history of this area. There’s even a song about the winds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPb1KQHgGU4.
The Termination Winds are blowing now, but lucky for us, we can batten down the hatches and peacefully enjoy some fantastic Convergence Zone wines, including our brand new rose'. Come visit us this weekend 1-5 pm for a taste or buy online. /product/2023-Rose
