Matthews Estate

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 Winery

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.

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.

L & M Chair Covers – Make a small change to make a lasting impression

 

Our company idea was created summer of 2003 when we had to plan our 425+ persons wedding at a well-known wedding facility in Seattle…but they had PINK stacking chairs and it definitely clashed with our orange/peach color theme. So we came up with a solution by renting white chair covers and matching white organza sashes for our special day. We started looking into it more seriously, and after much research looking on the web and calling around, we found only a few places that did linen rentals in Washington and some online companies from clear across the USA. The prices were not affordable. We resorted to ordering our chair covers from Vancouver, B.C. at half the price but had to drive 3 hours each way to pick-them up and return them…but we were willing to do whatever it took to make our day look like how we envisioned it.

Chair covers make a world of difference at your wedding or any other event. The extra costs are worth it because you will look back at your pictures and see how beautiful the chair covers made your place look. We can tell you from our experience that this was something that was definitely worth the time and money to do…especially on our once in a lifetime day…

In Summer of 2004, we decided to put that vision into reality and wanted to make it easier for anyone that was planning an event to be able to rent good quality and affordable chair covers in the Greater Northwest, thus the creation of: l & m chair covers.

We look forward to making your next event…more beautiful with our chair covers.
