Doe Bay Wine Co. Phinney Ridge

Absolutely wonderful neighborhood gem! The patio is such a cute spot to have a solo drink with a journal, a date night, or catch up with a friend! The shop owner is so helpful in choosing a bottle and helping you feel settled in.

I’ve had too many enjoyable experiences here to not review. You can’t go wrong with a glass (or bottle) from Doe Bay. The team is knowledgeable and welcoming, the wine is delicious, and Ellie’s earrings are just the cherry on top. I find myself looking forward to my next visit every time I leave!

Tucked away in Phinney Ridge. Don't miss this utterly charming and unprentious wine tasting shop complete with blue checkered table cloths covering the outdoor tables. A solid charcuterie (two cheeses and one meat) $19 is available alongside almonds $5 and candied pecans $5. We enhanced our board with a delicious can of lemon pepper smoked oysters by Ekone ("from tide to tin") $13. Highly recommend this he has Rustic Bakery flatbread. There is wine by the glass -- we tasted the Clos Du Mont-Olivet 2022 Lirac $15/glass as well as the Henrich Naked Orange (calcareous and natural biodynamic) $15/glass and the Champagne Jacquart "Mosaïque" Rosé $20/glass. We decided on a bottle of the Lirac and a glass of rosé champagne. They also carry local jcoco chocolates chips as well as tinned mackerel, tuna, codfish. Whoever their buyer is, they have "the touch." The curated collection of bottles could go up against the better bottle shops in Seattle -- but with a nonchalant aplomb rich with elegant ease shifting gears between bottles of internationally renowned Bollinger $68 and hyper local The Orcas Project 2024 Garnacha $37 or 2025 Nebbiolo $35 or 3 of 6 allocated Chartogne-Talley Saint Anne extra brut for $98. Favorite part? The staff's educational notes about the wines, how they were made, and tasting notes that holds the greatest value of all. So make some time to peruse and enjoy the learning before or while tasting. Exceptional value and easily a candidate for best of neighbor recognition. Mariah was a friendly and welcoming host.
