Sleeping Dog Wines, founded in 2002 by Larry "Alpha Winemaker" Oates and his partner Joyce "I'd rather be fishing" Oates, is a small winery overlooking the Yakima River in Eastern Washington State. Their philosophy is that wines, like dogs, evolve with age, and they specialize in red wines that benefit from bottle aging to bring out their true character.

With a focus on producing wines that showcase the nature of Buoy Vineyard grapes, Sleeping Dog Wines keeps their operation intimate, crafting reds that reach their peak after several years of aging. Their logo, "The Nose Knows," symbolizes their dedication to creating wines that express the unique characteristics of their grapes, all while maintaining a playful and dog-friendly atmosphere.
