Pilgrim´s Market - Beer and Wine

Most of the wines you find at the “Big Name” grocery stores are produced in huge quantities for National Distribution to a
mass-market. Naturally, the powers that be assume the market wants wines that do not require the consumer to give any thought to what they are drinking. In other words, wines that are simple, insipid, and uninspiring. We strive to discover wines that are interesting, multi-dimensional, and as natural as possible. As it turns out, these are generally produced in limited quantities by small, family-owned wineries that craft wines with love, attention and environmental stewardship . When you buy these wines you are paying for the wine in the bottle – not a multi-million dollar facility and a huge marketing budget.

Pilgrim’s wines are personally selected by Wine Steward Sara Ray. Sara favors regionally and family-produced wines and wineries that employ sustainable practices..

Pilgrim’s Beer selection boasts over 150 varieties from all over the world, including Northwest Micro-Brews, Imports and Organically produced beers and ales.

A bottle of white? A bottle of red? Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead?

“A bottle of white? A bottle of red? Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead?” Not so many years ago (Billy Joel wrote those lyrics in 1977) white, red, or pink were about the extent of the wine offerings at many local eateries. Today’s Northwest wine scene is a world apart from those humble beginnings, due, in large part, to the growth of the Washington wine industry. It is now the second largest in the country. It’s not uncommon to open a wine list these days and be confronted with a choice of half a dozen Northwest Viogniers. VIOGNIERS for crying out loud! In the course of one week I recently tasted a Petite Verdot, a Carmenere, a single vineyard Counoise, and the usual assortment of Black Muscats, Rousannes, and the like. Many of our local wineries have jumped into the fray by offering unique wines made from lesser-known grape varieties. A recent tour of nearby tasting rooms uncovered a wealth of opportunities to sample these intriguing wines.
