McCarthy and Schiering in Seattle for thoughtfulness of selection, Esquin for size of selection.
 
A little bit outside the Puget Sound, Liner and Elsen in PDX is your best bet in the PNW for all around retail selection. And Garagiste, while not much of a retail spot, has a shelf in the warehouse that almost always has some gems if you are in the Esquin neighborhood (about two blocks away). Last time I dropped by they had Huet from several years dating back to '76 for very reasonable prices.
 
Thanks, Brian...Triage is solely an importer/distributor I thought...they retail as well? Or is your warning about wines going through them to the above outlets you mentioned?

Maybe I need to reframe the question to something like...who in the P. Sound area retails vin naturels like the Louis/Dressner lineup, and such? Actually, this all started when I asked Steve of ESJ where to find his wines in WA...and he pointed me to Triage....but also, of course, would like to know where the NW disorderlies recommend shopping (if there's more than what you just mentioned).
 
triage is a wholesaler. i've been in their warehouse many times over the last several years in all seasons and have never encountered alarming temperatures in their warehouse.
 
i've been to both and purchased from both.

also, i've never had any wines purchased from them exhibit any signs of storage abuse.

I've been to the Seattle warehouse and everything seemed spot on to me.

I'm not sure where this is coming from.
 
Joel, skip the retail stores and just go over to BJ's.
Tell him you want to see the recorker.

Are you in town for a while?
 
I went to their web page a few years ago and then emailed a rep and asked for a copy of their catalog. I tell my local rep what I want and my local grocer takes delivery and invoices me at at 17% markup. Just a bit cheaper than ordering from Chambers, but in my experience Triage doesn't get the same selections that they get back East.

Sure, it would be fun.
I guess it depends on what day,
with work schedules and the holiday.

I'm in. Thursday might be tough, but I should be pretty open other than that.

I don't think liner or anyone in Oregon is buying from Triage anymore, given recent changes with the company...Lots of rumors in Oregon about what happened & what is going on, but since I'm not sure about any of them, I will let someone else comment.

...As far as I know, there is no one in Oregon that gets Louis Dressner wines these days...gotta get that fixed.

Doesn't Vinopolis get L-D wines? They certainly have some in stock.
