Sip, Savor, and Support: Join UW Alumni Joe Forest for a Tempus Cellars Tasting

UW Rugby alumni and Walla Walla winemaker Joe Forest has been crafting award-winning wines since founding Tempus Cellars in 2006. With tasting rooms in Walla Walla, downtown Spokane, and unique pop-up experiences in Seattle, Tempus Cellars offers wine lovers a chance to explore small-batch, handcrafted wines that are as bold and vibrant as the Pacific Northwest itself.

This spring, Joe invites the UW community to a special Seattle pop-up tasting at The Mountaineers (7700 Sand Point Way NE) on Sunday, April 19th, from 2–6 PM. Guests will enjoy a tasting of Tempus Cellars’ newest releases, accompanied by light food, all while mingling with fellow alumni and wine enthusiasts. To secure your spot, please RSVP at rsvp@tempuscellars.com or call (509) 270-0298.

Tempus Cellars isn’t just about great wine—it’s about giving back. Joe and Tempus Cellars are proud supporters of the Purple & Gold Fundraising Dinner, helping to strengthen UW programs and student experiences. With his daughter Lucy currently a freshman on the UW rowing crew, Joe’s commitment to the Husky community runs deep.

Whether you’re a devoted UW alum, a wine connoisseur, or simply looking for a memorable afternoon in Seattle, this pop-up tasting is a perfect opportunity to connect, sip, and support. Don’t miss your chance to experience the distinctive flavors of Tempus Cellars and celebrate the Husky spirit!
