GARAGISTE – (garage-east) n, Fr. – A term originally used in the Bordeaux region of France to denigrate renegade, small-lot wine makers, sometimes working in their garage, who refused to follow the “rules.”

Syn: Rule-breakers, pioneers, renegades, mavericks, driven by passion.

Mount Si Winery is a Washington Artisan Garagiste winery. 
A place where the underground, the creative, and the cutting edge art of small production winemaking thrives with obsessive passion and a no rules frame of mind. 
Yep, we're a little bit different. 

Garagistes produce ultra-premium, micro-production commercial wines of fewer than 1,200

(and many under 800) cases a year.
