Browne x Nordstrom: An Exclusive Méthode Champenoise Brut to Celebrate Nordstrom's 125th Anniversary
Limited-edition sparkling wine available at Nordstrom Cafés nationwide
SEATTLE, Wash. May 5, 2026 — Browne Family Vineyards, Washington state’s leading premium wine producer over $16, today announced the release of an exclusive méthode champenoise Brut crafted in honor of Nordstrom’s 125th anniversary. The limited-edition sparkling wine is available now at Nordstrom Café locations nationwide, marking a milestone collaboration between two Pacific Northwest’s brands rooted in quality, inspired living, and timeless sophistication.
"Nordstrom has embodied the belief that doing things exceptionally well is the only way worth doing them,” said Andrew Browne, proprietor of Browne Family Vineyards. “That same conviction is in our DNA. It's what drives us to source locally and craft wines and spirits that are a true expression of Washington and a testament to our relentless pursuit of quality in every bottle."
The Nordstrom 125th Anniversary Méthode Champenoise Brut by Browne Family Vineyards is crafted using the traditional method, with secondary fermentation taking place in the bottle, the same labor-intensive process used in the Champagne region of France for centuries. The result is a wine of remarkable elegance: crisp and vibrant, offering notes of citrus and green apple, made to embody the true spirit of celebration.
Browne Family’s connection runs deeper than geography: Courtney Browne, proprietor of Browne Family Vineyards, Washington native, and husband of the brand’s founder Andrew Browne, worked at Nordstrom during her college years.
”Working at Nordstrom was an experience that instilled in me an enduring appreciation for the brand’s culture of service and authenticity,” said Courtney Browne. “The care, the detail, the refusal to cut corners, is the same ethos Andrew and I have been using to build Browne Family. This wine is our way of saying thank you, and celebrating 125 years of a company that never forgot what it was built on."
The 125th Anniversary Brut is available by the glass and by the bottle at most Nordstrom Cafe locations through April 2027. Nordy Club Icon cardmembers in Western Washington can experience the anniversary Brut at an exclusive pop-up tasting at the Seattle and Bellevue Icon Lounges in late June.
