experimented with their five acres. They had cows and horses for a while, and then Don thought about the grapes his family had grown when he was a child. He and Pam had grown table grapes when they lived near Beaverton, OR, in the 1990s, but he’d never tried to grow wine grapes.
The first grapes the Klases grew in their nearly 1-acre vine-yard were destroyed by a horde of thirsty yellowjackets, but the 2014 harvest produced an ex-cellent crop of pinot noir, pinot grigio, chardonnay and Phoenix grapes, which the Klases blend-ed into a dry, crisp rosé that has a lovely, traditional orange – not pink – hue. The 2014 Tramonto (Italian for sunset) rosé, made en-tirely of Dolio Vineyard grapes, is available by the bottle and, on special occasions, by the glass at the Dolio Winery tasting room.
The tasting room, of course, is not the only thing that sep-arates Dolio Winery from its southwest Washington winery peers. The Klases also offer a selection of wines that aren’t readily found in other western Washington wineries.
“We make a variety of wines that are not commonly sold in this
county,” Don says. “We have a lot of Italian reds, like the sangiovese, the barbera and the dolcetto.”
“And we noticed that there weren’t a lot of whites (in the ar-ea’s wine tasting rooms), so we wanted to have two or three whites on the tasting list,” Pam adds.
Once they decided what kind of wines they wanted to make, the couple sought out the best grapes for their crisp, light whites and berry-forward Italian reds. They found the perfect grapes in eastern Washington’s Columbia County vineyards.
Although they’ve only been open for seven weekends — and opened just before the January slow down — the Klases say the tasting
room has already drawn a num-ber of neighbors, who want to stop and see the end result of the tasting room’s yearlong construction.
“People who drive by here ev-eryday have wondered what this was going to be,” Don says.
The couple is looking forward to the spring and summer wine tasting seasons, when visitors can bask in the light-filled tasting room, or take their glass of wine outside to the tasting room’s covered patio.
On Valentine’s Day week-end, the tasting room will pair its wines with samples of chocolate from Lillie Belle Farms, an Or-egon-based chocolatier, and will have small boxes of the handcraft-ed chocolates for sale all weekend, Fri., Feb. 12 through Sun., Feb. 14.
The Dolio Winery tasting room hours are from noon to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sun-days. Dolio Winery is located at 11001 NE 314th St., about four miles north of Lewisville Re-gional Park in Battle Ground.
