About the Producer
HOMEVINEYARDSTEAMSHOPWINE CLUBGALLERY TRADEPRESSEVENTSVISITBLOG “The Sleight of Hand Cellars wines have always been as compelling and full of personality as the vinyl record collection in its tasting rooms. The winery’s recent releases, however, are a giant leap forward in terms of sophistication, detail, and straight-up pleasure. These wines vault Sleight of Hand way up the ladder to the top rungs of Washington’s producers.” — SEAN SULLIVAN, January 2025 “The style at Sleight of Hand, under the guidance of Trey Busch, Jerry Solomon, and Keith Johnson, has changed dramatically over the past 4-5 years and the wines show more finesse, elegance, and purity today, without sacrificing on fruit or texture. These are brilliant wines, and I certainly include this estate in the top handful of estates in Washington today.” – JEB DUNNUCK, April 2019 Serious wines without the serious attitudes... Sleight of Hand Cellars was founded in 2007 by Trey Busch and Jerry and Sandy Solomon. Our only goal from the outset has been to make world class wines while having the most fun that is legally possible. Our love of great wines from around the world, and our love of music, have inspired our vision and growth and have helped us reach a customer base that has the same passions as we do. Since it’s inception, Sleight of Hand Cellars has been named one of "The Next Generation" of up and coming wineries in Washington State, as well as one of "The Next Cult Wineries" by Seattle Magazine. In addition, we’ve had numerous wines in various of the industry’s “Top 100” lists, including the 2015 Levitation and 2016 Archimage in Wine Spectators Top 100 Wines of the Year, and 2021 Off He Goes Syrah in the Wine Enthusiast Magazine’s Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2024. “While I've always loved the wines from these guys, they've hit a new level recently, and the wines are now up there with the crème’ de la crème’ of the state (and beyond).” - Jeb Dunnuck These and other accolades forced our hand, and in 2011 the winery moved from a 900 sq. foot storefront location in DT Walla Walla to its current 10 acre property on JB George Rd. on the southside of the Walla Walla Valley. Here, we continue to focus on making wines that compete with the best in the world, from a combination of estate vineyards and non-estate vineyards around Washington State. Keith Johnson joined our team in 2011 and has been our production winemaker for the past decade. His attention to detail and uncompromising passion for making wine shines through in our offerings. Having Keith in the winery allows Trey to spend more time in the vineyards, ensuring we are delivering the best fruit possible to our winemaking team! Our tasting rooms are something everyone who loves wine and music should experience at least once (and hopefully often). We have over 3,000 albums from a wide range of musical genres, with turntables spinning vinyl in all 3 of our tasting rooms. We also have a small vinyl store for you to peruse while enjoying our delicious wines. Our love of ALL music inspires the wines we make (the production facility always has music—usually Seattle’s KEXP radio station--playing) as well as our marketing approach to reach our customers (we have the best winery t-shirts in the business). And our wine club, The Wine Illusionist Society, gets to enjoy our collaboration with one of our favorite music labels, Sub Pop Records in Seattle, because with each shipment we send them the latest and greatest songs on Sub Pop via digital download! We even started a VINE(YL) Club for our wine club members who love the physical format of music! And of course, we host a number of concerts in SODO and in Walla Walla every year! Great wine, great music, and lots of fun—that’s our recipe for the Sleight of Hand lifestyle. Visit a tasting room!
