Updated::It appears that Vintner’s Annex (5818 24th Ave NW) is closed.
A big “For Lease” sign hangs in the window of the wine tasting co-op which opened just six months ago. Back in August we wrote about five wineries that signed on to have a tasting room in Ballard. We tried reaching Darren Des Voigne of Des Voigne Cellars for more information but couldn’t reach him. Darren Des Voigne writes in comments: “Hey everybody, there were a number of issues that led to our decision to close up shop and we’re bummed that we couldn’t keep the Annex going. We love the neighborhood and the people and hope to find another spot to set up shop. In the meantime, we all still have our tasting rooms in Woodinville if you’re up for making the hike. ”
