It was such a pleasure to sit down with owner/winemaker Lisa Warr-King Packer of Warr-King Wines. She spent time out of her busy Saturday (a new-release Saturday, mind you!) to chat with me about all things Woodinville wine, and a few other fun adult conversation tidbits too! As we chatted and I enjoyed her incredible wines, we reflected on the ...
DeLille Cellars is expanding again! The team at DeLille recently announced exciting news that they are opening a new wine lounge in the former Red Hook Brewery site, previous home of Wheelhouse Restaurant and Forrester’s Public House. This Lounge will be located adjacent to the existing winery and tasting room, and will offer wine pairings, glass pours, wine flights and ...
We have always been huge fans of Damsel Cellars wines, especially after meeting the damsel herself: winemaker Mari Womack. We first met several years back at a charity event for Sisters of the Vinifera Revolution and have been fans since. Not only is Mari making killer Washington wines, she’s approachable and down-to-earth. This winning combination makes you want to come ...
We were so excited to visit Wit Cellars and taste wine in Woodinville’s Warehouse District a few weeks back. I don’t often have the chance to go to Woodinville wineries on Sunday afternoons, so to make a date of it I invited my fiance James along. We were immediately greeted by Susan and the team at Wit who were super ...
Happy first day of March! We’re delighted to get a sneak peek at spring today with sunshine and relatively warm weather. It makes us want to go out wine tasting, on a Monday morning! This month is special in two ways. It is Taste Washington Wine Month and it is also Women’s History Month. All month long, we will be ...

I have sat in front of so many bonfires over the past eleven difficult months. Since we have been only able to socialize outdoors safely for the time being, I have used my fire pit table and my two outdoor patio heaters very often. I try to make my back yard more comfortable for friends to come visit us (and ...
Tomorrow (Saturday, February 27) is Open That Bottle Night. It’s a celebratory night held at the end of winter, while we eagerly anticipate Spring. It’s meant to encourage us to treat ourselves to opening a VERY special bottle of wine we’ve been saving in our home wine cellars, wine cabinets and wine stashes. With all we’ve been going through in ...
We are approaching the one-year anniversary of lockdown, when in mid-March 2020 we retreated to our homes.. and stayed there much longer than we’d anticipated. Those of us who could work at home or weren’t essential workers stayed home in quarantine, suddenly working at home, cooking more meals than we’re used to, homeschooling or virtual schooling our kids, and not ...
Once in a while, we get asked by our readers if there are any ice wines available in Woodinville. While both Jen and I find ice wines a bit too sweet for our palates, we do have several friends who prefer sweeter wines and look forward to a small refreshing glass with dessert or while sitting around the bonfire.
