Evoke Winery Tasting Room

The wine list reads like someone dared a marketing team to name every bottle after a double entendre, and honestly? They leaned all the way in. Past the Knockers and the Penetration Cabernet Sauvignon, there's a legitimate 27-bottle roster of Pacific Northwest wines that takes itself more seriously than the labels suggest. It's a lot — but in a fun way.

Evoke is pulling fruit from Oregon and Washington and doing the work across the full red-white-bubbly spectrum. You've got a 2019 Diva Sangiovese and a 2020 Luv Shack Cabernet Franc sitting next to a 2022 Package Petit Verdot — real varieties, real vintages, not just a wall of sweet blends. The whites show some range too: a 2022 Complicated Viognier, a 2024 Making Waves Albariño, and a 2022 Here to Stay Chardonnay cover different textural ground. That said, the NV blends dominate the list — Blazing Straddle Sweet Red, Classy & Sassy Red Wine, Ride or Die — and they're clearly here for the crowd that wants approachable and easy, not structured and age-worthy. The cellar depth is shallow, but within its lane, the list has more intention than the names imply.

With 10-15 pours available by the glass, Evoke is generous — this is a tasting room, after all, so the whole point is to try things. Expect rotating access to the NV crowd-pleasers as well as some of the more interesting single-varietal bottles. The OH! Orgasmic Bubbly Rosé and Bubbly White showing up as BTG options is a smart move for the walk-in crowd who wants something fizzy and low-commitment.
