About King Estate
On the border of Washington and Oregon, King Estate and North by Northwest have been dealing in Pacific Northwest varietals since 2005. Focusing on the Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley AVA’s, one of their key goals is maintaining sustainable vineyards. Under a simple vision to make affordable but artisan-crafted wines for everyday enjoyment, the King family lets the quality of their grapes speak for themselves.

The Sneak King

TASTING NOTES:
Lime, orange peel, peach, rose water, mineral, passion fruit on the nose. Lemon zest, rose petal, white peach, pineapple, grapefruit, orange blossoms on the tongue. “The wine is lush with ripe fruit. The layered flavors on the mid-palate are brightened with a fresh acidity that carries the lingering finish.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
In 2006, Burger King released a promotional video game called Sneak King. In this game, you play as their mascot, delivering burgers to people. The catch is that if they see you, they no longer want the burger. I don’t get it either. Anyway, you have to stealthily deliver the food without alerting the recipients. It was one of the top 10 games in sales of 2006.

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
White wine glass is deemed “acceptable,” perhaps with a salad or seafood.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
Tape one of those old Burger King crowns around the rim of your glass.

Fit for a king.
