Silver Lake Winery has moved its Bothell winery to the historic Carlberg-Andersen Farm next door to Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia wineries. Not far away are the Red Hook Brewery and Facelli Winery. Plans are to build not only a new winery and tasting room but also a brew pub and restaurant or deli. Silver Lake also has signed an intent to purchase the the 640-acre Rosa Hills Vineyard near Covey Run Winery outside Zillah.
Silver Lake claims to be the state's only consumer-owned winery.
Several of its stockholders live in the Mid-Columbia. Bob Woehler has been writing about grapes and wines of the Pacific Northwest since 1978.
