Gramercy Cellars

What began with a tasting in Brooklyn hosted by the Walla Walla Wine Alliance quickly turned into a visit to Washington State’s beloved Walla Walla AVA, followed by an immediate decision to work harvest in 2004. For Master Sommelier Greg Harrington, a love of fine wines always been at the center of his professional life. Before trying his hand at winemaking, he managed some of the most prestigious wine lists in the United States working alongside celebrity chefs Joyce Goldstein, Emeril Lagasse, and Wolfgang Puck.In 2005, Greg and his wife Pam harvested their first grapes for the new winery, taking care to source the best fruit they could find. In addition to rooting out some of Washington State’s best vineyard sites, Harrington also favors gentle handling throughout harvest and crush, stem-inclusion, and minimal use of new oak, all to enhance the preservation of the character of varietal aromatics.

Over the past decade, Gramercy Cellars has garnered serious acclaim including making Wine & Spirits Top 100 Winery list in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017 as well as scoring consistently high points from the critics: “More Hermitage in style compared to the floral, pretty Columbia Valley Syrah, the 2014 The Deuce Syrah gives up lots of meaty fruits, olive tapenade, smoked earth, peat moss and pepper in a full-bodied, mouth-filling, rich, yet balanced style. It’s another fabulous Syrah from Greg that will drink nicely in its youth, yet age for a decade or more.” 92-94 points Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate.
