Walla Walla, Wash. — August 1, 2018 — Today marks a move that will further the bond between Brad Binko and Victor De La Luz in the Walla Walla wine record books. Victor de la Luz has been in the wine industry for over a decade and has called Walla Walla his home for six years now. He is currently one of the winemakers at Gordon Brother Estates in Tri Cites and is set to release his own label of wines.
The move comes with support from fellow winemaker Brad Binko, owner of Eternal Wines and a second label, Drink Washington State. Binko will make De La Luz wines available in both of his Walla Walla tasting rooms.
“I want to introduce you to De La Luz Wines. These are small lots from one of my mentors Victor de la Luz,” says Brad. “It is my honor to say that De La Luz Wines will be available exclusively in both of my Walla Walla tasting rooms. For me to be in a position to help a friend live a dream, it really takes it full circle.”
The inaugural release of De La Luz wines will be in September and will feature the 2015 Merlot and 2016 Tempranillo. Stay tuned for a release party at Binko’s winery “The INK,” located in Walla Walla’s airport winery district.
Eternal Wines tasting room hours downtown are Thursday through Saturday 12-8pm, and Sunday and Wednesday 12-5pm. The INK is open Fri-Sun 1130-5pm, and features free live music at least once a week. For more information visit www.EternalWine.com or call (509) 240-6258.
