About Purple Star Wines ...
In 2008 Kyle and Amy Johnson set out to start a winery with a specific vision: to embody the soul of wine from vineyard to bottle to table. Their philosophy is that wine should be accessible, approachable, and affordable. But most of all, they believe a wine’s purpose is to bring together family and friends!

With 10 years of viticulture
and winemaking experience in Washington
State , Kyle knows a thing
or two about making wine. For starters, Purple Star’s varietal blends are grown
from some of Washington State ’s finest appellations including Wahluke Slope, Yakima Valley
and Red Mountain . With grapes handpicked at
their optimal flavor profile and juice fermented at cooler temperatures for
longer periods, their wines exhibit soft tannins and retain the character of
each varietal.
Kyle and Amy also feel very
strongly about membership in community. As a result they have chosen to donate
15% of Purple Star Wines’ proceeds to Seattle Children’s Hospital to benefit
uncompensated care. It’s their way of “paying it forward.”

We have been driving past this little burger
stand for over 40 years and have never stopped in, until now. I’m sure back in
the early sixties when King Charley’s first opened the hand made fry’s and milk
shakes were delicious. I’m also sure the used fresh ground beef, but now… The
french fries were like the ones you can buy from the frozen food, the shakes
were from the same machine of a fast food chan. We had the bacon cheeseburger,
it was ok. The bacon was lost in the sauce they used, next time we will only
order the cheeseburger with no fries or shake.

When we walked into Nacho Family Mexican Restaurant for the first time it felt like home. The
owners were fun and easy to talk to. The fresh hand made tamales were the best
I have had in the state. So far we have only eaten off the A la Carte part of
the menu and have no complaints. Give them a try…
