      Baer catapulted into stardom when their 2008 Ursa landed in Wine Spectator's Top 100 wines of 2011 (#6!). They followed up with another Top 100 pick with 2012 Ursa (#28). 

      Winemaker Lance Baer founded Baer Winery in 2000 with a single passion: to bring something unique to Woodinville. After years of working with some of the most prestigious wineries in the area, Lance wanted to take his winemaking skills in his own direction. Lance succeeded in handcrafting blends distinctly his own, and in April 2003 the first vintage of the winery’s signature blend, Ursa, was released. Ursa, a feminine expression of red wine, predominantly Merlot and Cabernet Franc, was soon followed by Arctos, a bolder Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend.

      As operations moved from an apartment in Redmond to a converted property on six rural acres in Woodinville, the winery was able to grow in production from just 200 cases in 2003 to over 3,000 cases now.

      Sadly, Lance Baer, passed away in May of 2007, at the age of 39. But the Baer family, Lisa and Les, with the expertise of consulting winemaker Erica Orr, are continuing to produce the wines that Lance was devoted to creating, as well as continuing to evolve and add new blends to the winery’s line-up.
