Cougar Crest Winery was established at the Walla Walla Airport in 2001 by Deborah and David Hansen. Owners of 50 acres of vineyard, all in the Walla Walla Appellation, they have sold wine grapes to other wineries for years. The move into making wine has been a natural progression for two people with strong backgrounds in science and a love of fine wine.
Natives of the Northwest, Deborah from Spokane and David from Bremerton, they met in Pullman. Allen Boone will be here from the winery to share these great wines!

Special Price: Tasting this lineup of high end wine is a special treat at any price, but we’re making this extra special by offering this lineup for only $10 per seat, which is about 1/2 of what it should cost. We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to taste this great wine.

The tasting starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 17th. Tickets to attend are $10 per seat, paid in advance. Only 24 seats are available to this event.

Club members can have tickets simply added to their Bin, and anyone can order tickets by coming into Enoteca in Post Falls, calling us at 208-457-9885 or sending us email at
