Welcome to Convergence Zone Cellars--2012 “Winery to Watch” (Review of Washington Wines).
We are a family-owned and operated winery located in the Puget Sound Convergence Zone located in Woodinville’s Warehouse District. Grapes from some of Washington’s best vineyards in the Red Mountain, Yakima Valley and Columbia Valley areas are vinted and blended by winemaker Scott Greenberg into award-winning small production, premium quality wines. Our 2011 production was 600 cases (up from 140 cases in 2008). Our tasting room is open Noon-5:00 pm on Saturdays, by appointment and for special events. We invite you to join our e-mail list, become our Facebook fan, follow us on Twitter or Yelp, or see what we’re doing on Flickr.
We are often asked “what is a convergence zone”? First, it’s a weather phenomenon in the Puget Sound area, and our winery is in the middle of the CZ. Here is a good article on the convergence zone. “Zone” is also a city planning term--residential zone, commercial zone, industrial zone, etc. Since Scott is a city planner (“the job that supports the winery”) we thought it was only fitting to create a “convergence zone” bringing together city planning and wine. Finally, it means a convergence of different grapes, vineyards and winemaking styles to produce drinkable, ageable, aromatic, palate-pleasing and long-finishing wines.
