History
Owners, Alex and Samuel, met in the summer of 2010 to enjoy a lovely sunset and wine at Golden Gardens. They talked about their lives, aspirations, and their mutual love for wine. Alex showed up with a bottle of Entre-deux-Mers and Samuel came with a bottle of pinotage. They were both eager to talk about the wines they had chosen. After years of helping others in the wine industry, as well as tasting (and spitting) lots of wine, Alex and Samuel decided that it was time to turn their expertise and passion into something more. As a result, Aluel Cellars was born with a passion to bring amazing Washington wines to their own neighborhood of Capitol Hill. Their love for Washington wines made in the traditional or old-world style is showcased in the wines handcrafted for Aluel Cellars.
