A Look at 2013

2013 Was a fantastic year at Harbinger, with lots of growth and fun memories:

Our amazing new doors were installed in January. 

Rodocker Construction right here in Port Angeles did a great job and now the exterior matches the quality of the wine and experience one can expect at Harbinger.

And once the exterior was completed we realized the interior needed a serious makeover as well!

 The Red Wine & Chocolate Festival in February was a lot of fun!  Over 300 people came through the winery on the first day. Harbinger was full of Love, laughter, wine and chocolate!

Folks had a “cracking” good time at Harbinger’s annual Crab Feed in April. This is an exclusive event for Wine Club Members only and there’s so much crab at t we’ve renamed it “The Crab Mountain Festival!”  It is our mission to make sure no one leaves hungry or unsatisfied.

Harbinger Winery featured some really delicious cheeses during the Northwest Wine & Cheese Tour in May and probably the most unique snack on the tour: Oreos with blue cheese and raspberry crème, yum! And the weather was a preview of the awesome summer ahead of us!

 The Oat Run was a blast even though it rained. But, hey, it’s Washington, what else is to be expected? Thanks to everyone who participated!

El Jefe’ got recognized by Sunset Magazine which is huge for Harbinger! Best in show for the Rhone Blends. 

Lots of bottling got done this summer. We appreciate our volunteers (who work for wine!).

 In September many great times were had on the back patio of the winery. Nothin’ like sittin’ around a fire with good friends, good conversation and good wine!

In October; Harvest was in full swing. There were tons and tons of “punch downs” to be done and lots of wine-making going on. It was actually an earlier Harvest this year because we had such a warm and beautiful summer.

In November we had the Northwest Harvest bounty Tour; Although it was super busy this weekend we managed to take a couple pictures of the happy staff and our scary pirate scarecrow!

In December Harbinger raised lots of funds and awareness  for the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society during “Yappy Hour”. 

We had a great turnout, lots of fun, drank and sold several bottles of Menagerie(can’t wait for next year’s Menagerie blend) and got some animals adopted!

Now that 2013 is over we’d like to raise our glasses to you all for making it a spectacular and unforgettable one!  We look forward to making memorable moments together in 2014! Cheers!
