FEATURED WASHINGTON WINERY
MARK RYAN WINERY - WOODINVILLE, WA
If you haven’t already heard, there’s a winery that’s well on its way to becoming a modern “Rock” icon of the Washington wine industry. Mark Ryan Winery in Woodinville, WA is quickly reaching celebrity status with their superbly blended reds and luscious flavorful whites. If you haven’t tried any of their fantastic wines then your missing out, which isn’t uncommon since most of Mark Ryan’s wines sell out almost immediately upon release.But how exactly does one reach “Rock Star” status in the wine industry? First, you obviously have to have great wines. CHECK. Well known for making big bold reds, like the Long Haul and Dead Horse, and now with a couple great whites, Chardonnay and Viognier, Mark Ryan has been putting out some of the most sought after wines in Washington State. Second, you must have a sweet pad. CHECK. While the industrial warehouse complexes of “Hoodinville” aren’t exactly every rock star’s dream pad, Mark Ryan has managed to convert their space into something found inside a downtown club. Sparsely furnished, dimly lit, and decorated with rich paints, pop art, and a vintage espresso machine in the corner. Can you say “Urban Chic”?Next, you must throw killer parties! CHECK. Mark Ryan’s release parties are infamous for offering a hip contemporary scene with a club type atmosphere, rock music and great food. All of which brings out the see-me-dig-me’s and young professionals that line up outside the door, as if they were trying to get into one of LA’s hottest nightspots. Often times a Mark Ryan release party can double as an exotic car show with the number of expensive rides parked outside. Finally, what Rock Icon would be complete without t-shirts? CHECK. Don’t be surprised if while out tasting in Woodinville you happen to see a hot young bombshell sporting a “I (Heart) Mark Ryan” tee. No self-respecting groupie would be without one. We have several!Actually, there is one more important criterion in the pursuit of rock star status – a stage name. So, just like Madonna and Prince, Mark Ryan is actually a stage name for the true talent behind the winery, winemaker & businessman Mark “Ryan” McNeilly. Yes that’s right people; Mark Ryan is not a real person! We’ll pause to let that news sink in… Well I guess technically it really is a person, since Ryan is Mark’s middle name. But, whatever you choose to call him just know that Mark McNeilly is one of the hottest new winemakers in Washington State. Check out these current releases from Mark Ryan Winery available at most local retailers and stay tuned for more great things to come:• The Wild Eyed Syrah• The Dissident Red Blend• Chardonnay
