Pursued by Bear is a highly regarded Walla Walla winery and tasting room owned by Yakima native and accomplished actor Kyle MacLachlan, known for his star turns on the big and small screens. As fans of Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Sex & the City, and Portlandia, MacLachlan has terrific taste and a wry sense of humor.
Tasked with messaging the quality of the Rhône- and Bordeaux-style wines, made by Daniel Wampfler (winemaker at Abeja) in a quirky, offbeat, quasi-Shakespearean manner, we dug into Monty Python, Portlandia, W.M. Thackeray, and videos on the behavior of bears in the wild.
