Guardian Cellars

Guardian Cellars is a Washington state winery founded in 2004 by Jerry and Jennifer Riener, a former police officer-turned-winemaker and a crime reporter, respectively. Their wines are crafted from the state's finest vineyards, with a focus on creating approachable yet delicious wines for everyday enjoyment. The winery's signature style is characterized by its blend of traditional and modern techniques, reflecting Jerry's chemistry background and Jennifer's journalistic sensibilities. Guardian Cellars is based in Woodinville, Washington, and produces a range of wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Gun Metal, a proprietary red blend. The winery's tasting room offers first-come-first-served seating, with reservations recommended for a more personalized experience. Visitors can explore the wines under both the Guardian Cellars and Newsprint labels, which was launched in 2013 to showcase single varietal wines from Washington state's top vineyards. The Riener family is deeply involved in the winemaking process, with Jerry overseeing production and Jennifer contributing her expertise as a journalist and wine enthusiast. With over 11,000 cases produced annually, Guardian Cellars has established itself as a reputable player in the Pacific Northwest wine scene.
