My Love Affair with Carmenere "This is the one that started it all for me. It was unlike anything I had ever tasted before."
- Northwest Cork and Fork Melinda

"Reininger Winery was one of the first wineries we visited in Walla Walla. We were welcomed and treated like family. We were very impressed with their dedication to producing wines that are true to varietal and well-matched with food. You definitely could say that an experience such as ours was factored in and influenced our decision to open our restaurants in Walla Walla."

- Chris Ainsworth, Chef/Proprietor
James Beard nominee '09, '10 and '12

"As wine club members, we have always appreciated the consistency of quality in Reininger wines. Every bottle we have bought is great with food and stands among the best of Walla Walla wines. We love the personal feeling of the winery when we take friends and visitors by to taste. We truly feel like a part of the Reininger family!"

- Phil and Carol Morgan, Walla Walla
