I just stumbled onto these wine-flavored cotton candy tubs while idly browsing Etsy last night. They’re from a confectionary company in Des Moines, Iowa called Chocolate Storybook. I haven’t tried any of the cotton candy yet, and not sure if I want to! Well, I guess you can’t really go wrong with wine-flavored spun sugar. Perhaps these might be a ...

Summer is coming! Look what I found at World Market’s Woodinville store: Republic of Tea’s Sonoma wine-inspired iced teas! I couldn’t resist picking up one of each kind to sample. Each tin holds six tea bags, enough for six one-quart pitchers of wine-flavored iced tea. (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This means if you ...

I throw parties quite often, and this summer I’m sure to host several Rosé wine tasting parties. I’d like to do something special for my guests who attend but are left out of the Rosé drinking fun. What can I do for my guests who are non-drinkers, recovering alcoholics, pregnant, or designated drivers? In the past, I’ve put out lots ...

Happy May Day! Summer is just around the corner, and we were blessed with a warm sunny May Day. We so deserved it after our snowier-than-normal Seattle winter. I couldn’t wait to get out into my Woodinville backyard and soak up some sun! I played hooky for a couple of hours with wine, a book, and a treat. Can you ...

Spring is here! I can’t wait to get out of my mostly-black winter and autumn wardrobe, and into something light, flowing, and preferably pink! April is my birthday month, and I recently treated myself to a shopping spree at Macy’s (the Bellevue Square one, now that our Redmond Town Center store is sadly closed). Take a look at some of ...

Carrie and I visited Wildwood Spirits Distillery in Bothell a few weeks ago and met with Chef/Co-owner John Howie and Master Distiller/Co-Owner Erik Liedholm. We enjoy making the occasional field trip outside of Woodinville, and let’s be honest, sometimes we take a break from drinking wine and go for cocktails instead! As a nostalgic tribute, the distillery was named Wildwood ...

I knew I really wanted to share my discoveries at all the incredible wineries we have here in Woodinville, but didn’t foresee myself wandering around alone ...
