CLAAR CELLARS is our family owned Estate Winery. My parents, Audrienne and Russell Claar developed the first farm in 1950 and planted the first grapes in 1980. Bob and I were both Active Duty Naval Officers when in 1983, he retired and I transferred into the Naval Reserve. Since then we have developed over 120 acres of premium vineyards. After 13 years of selling grapes to wineries throughout Washington, as well as from New York to Mississippi to New Mexico, and of being told of their unique taste and quality from numerous Winemakers, we decided to take the steps necessary to become an Estate Winery. With the 1997 crush we became an Estate Winery processing and bottling all of our grapes in our own 10,000 square foot facility. In 1999 we added a 4,000 square foot Temperature and Humidity controlled Barrel Building and in 2012 a 10,000 square foot case-good storage facility all of which are heated and cooled through ground water and excess heat produced by the glycol tank cooling system. We have award-winning Premium wines including: Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Sangiovese, and newly planted Pinot Gris, Viognier, Malbec and Petite Sirah. Our vineyards and winery are Sustainable with LIVE, IOBC and Salmon Safe certification. CLAAR CELLARS -- an Estate winery committed to quality! Crista Claar Whitelatch
