Somme des Parties

Somme des Parties is a small, 200-case family-run winery located in Walla Walla, Washington. Founded by David Rudnick, who moved to the region with his family at age 12 and later pursued a career in winemaking after studying at Washington State University and the Institute for Enology and Viticulture. Rudnick's extensive experience includes stints in renowned regions such as Napa Valley, New Zealand, and Australia, where he developed a passion for Portuguese grapes and dry red wines. The winery's philosophy emphasizes purity and distinction, using a combination of old and new world techniques to craft wines with soul and character. The winery's portfolio features a range of varietals, including Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Portuguese Red Blends, such as the 2012 Tinta Cão "The Philosopher's Companion" and 2014 Portuguese Red Blend "The Love that Remains." These wines showcase Rudnick's dedication to showcasing unique flavors and structures. Visitors can experience Somme des Parties' offerings at their tasting room, located in downtown Walla Walla near the airport, open on Saturdays from noon to four. The winery invites visitors to schedule a tasting or drop by to share in the stories behind these distinctive wines.
