August is Washington Wine Month, and there’s no better place to raise a glass than Ray’s Boathouse & Cafe! Experience Ray’s to find out why it’s a beloved Seattle restaurant known for stunning waterfront views, fresh seafood, and relaxed casual dining atmosphere.
All month, we’ll be featuring three standout pours from one of our favorite local producers and longtime partners, Long Shadows Vintners. Sip and savor these exceptional Washington wines while enjoying panoramic views of Puget Sound and a menu full of local seafood favorites.
Featured Wines at Ray’s Boathouse & Cafe this August:
Pedestal Merlot
Columbia Valley, WA | 2020
Rich and expressive, this Merlot offers aromas and flavors of ripe plum, chocolate, spicy oak, and graphite. Its ripe, chalky tannins and deep mid-palate weight make it the perfect pairing for grilled meats or our signature seafood dishes.
Cymbal Sauvignon Blanc
Columbia Valley, WA | 2023
Vibrant notes of Japanese pear, kumquat, green papaya, and freshly cut grass are layered with a hint of clove. This wine is intense yet beautifully balanced—ideal with shellfish, fresh oysters, or one of our crisp summer salads.
Poet’s Leap Riesling (Boathouse only)
Columbia Valley, WA | 2024
A refined, off-dry Riesling featuring delicate white blossoms, zesty citrus, and a hint of minerality. It’s a refreshing companion to spicy seafood dishes or as a light sip to enjoy with our water view restaurant setting.
Whether you’re a wine lover or simply looking for a memorable casual dining experience in Seattle, this is the perfect time to visit Ray’s.
