Winemaker Notes
The Underground Wine Project began as a collaboration between Washington winemakers Mark McNeilly (Mark Ryan Winery), Trey Busch and Jerry Solomon (Sleight of Hand Cellars). Idle Hands Red Wine was the first release in 2009, with Devil’s Playground Cabernet Sauvignon and the cult favorite Mr. Pink Rosé following soon after. In 2022 we brought the lineup fully under the Mark Ryan Winery Family of Wines with the goal of expanding availability nationally and internationally.
