Matthews strives to produce wines that show the incredible diversity of Washington State. From our classic Cabernet Sauvignon driven reds, to our revered Sauvignon Blanc.
Columbia Valley Claret
The Claret for Matthews has always filled the traditional role of a second selection wine in a winery with a flagship blend. The Claret is traditionally focused more on elegance than on structure, like the Red Wine. The Claret has always been a tremendous value for our customers. Showing clean ripe fruit and a much more modest oak program, the Matthews Claret leads a segment of value driven every day wines.
Columbia Valley Red Wine
Every winery has a flagship wine, and at Matthews this is it. Made almost always of the five traditional Bordeaux varietals, the Red Wine has consistently been the insiders standard for Cabernet Sauvignon based blends in Washington. The goal has always been to produce the best possible wine in every vintage, believing that the blend will always create the most complete wine. There have been vintages in which the Red Wine didn't exist- only because those vintages did not meet our rigorous standards.
Dusted Valley was founded on the notion that when family pulls together the American Dream can turn into a living reality. They describe themselves as a proud bunch of farm-raised Wisconsin Cheese-Heads. And what goes well with cheese??? It's all about the wine.
Dusted Valley came about after many inspiring experiences with wine, wonderful food, and of course incredible friends and family. When Chad and Corey decided to begin making wine, they pledged to do it right and thus began the quest for the best fruit and vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and beyond. The families moved to Walla Walla in 2003, and today the family is producing some spectacular wines from its 4,000 case operation. They have become vineyard focused and farm nearly 100 acres of vineyard in Walla Walla. In addition, they have begun a unique barrel project with the use of extra-tight-grained Wisconsin Oak harvested from lands they grew up around!

As a long-time student and collector of umbrellas, Seattle's Jodell Egbert's vintage collections were the nucleus around which she began Bella Umbrella. Her venture is now the largest source of vintage and vintage styled umbrellas in the world.
As a soon to be bride and floral designer, Jodell wanted to do something distinctive instead of renting a traditional white tent for her outdoor wedding ceremony. She procured 75 vintage umbrellas for her guests in the event there were showers on her wedding day. Each guest would be offered a beautiful umbrella from the 1920' s-1940. Later the umbrellas would create a brilliant backdrop to the happy day. It was the beginning of a beautiful marriage in more ways than one. Continuing to collect umbrellas, Jodell launched the Bella Umbrella website in 2001.
Her personal collection of 100 vintage umbrellas was now available for rent to brides all over the world. Since then Jodell has designed and developed two unique umbrella collections; Vintage Bella and Signature Bella as well as inventing and patenting the Bixi; an adaptor that quickly converts a Signature Bella umbrella handle into a stunning bouquet holder.

As a Seattle native with more than ten years experience in hospitality, event planning and venue management my journey actually began with an IT-focused business degree from Western Washington University. Not surprisingly, after a short stint in the banquet department at the Westin Seattle my aptitude for event management quickly became apparent and, needless to say, I’ve been hooked ever since! Over the years I have organized all types of events, from small rehearsal dinners to corporate blowouts for more than 4000, but my true passion has always been weddings. There is a feeling of accomplishment that comes with watching a bride walk down the aisle toward the wedding of her dreams that I just can’t resist, and the desire to exceed expectations in every detail fuels my inspiration from one wedding to the next. As the Events Director for Novelty Hill • Januik Winery I have had the privilege of developing our spectacular venue into a premier location for intimate wedding celebrations, combining modern trends with traditional elements and a touch of local flair. In addition to Weddings in Woodinville I am proud to be a founding member of Wedding Network USA, Seattle Chapter, and I look forward to being a part of our long-term growth and continued success in Western Washington.
