Jen and I wanted to make sure you knew about a fun sounding upcoming beer and wine fest this summer, if you’re one of our Eastside readers who’s courageous enough to brave the bridge and head into Seattle for a summer Saturday festival! Or perhaps you’re one of our readers from downtown Seattle and you might like to head over ...
If you’re out wine tasting in Woodinville on a hot day, did you know you can stop by Vivi Pizzeria for gelato to eat on their shared patio (if there’s seating available – sometimes it gets busy with restaurant and wine tasting patrons). We like to stop by on our way back from Chateau Ste. Michelle’s “Chateau Tuesdays.” The gelato ...
Yesterday, my friend Angie and I were out wine tasting in Woodinville’s warehouse district. We’d just stopped back in town for snacks and iced tea at Teddy’s Bigger Burgers, and had time for just one more adventure. I thought I’d show her the fun and festive Sunday Block Party at the Junction, knowing how much Angie likes live music. I ...
Recently, my friend Serret (from Serretabella Images) and I were out wine tasting in Woodinville, and became quite hungry by late Sunday afternoon. It suddenly occurred to me that Serret might never have been to a meal at Tandem Dinner & Wine Bar. I suspected she would not only love their excellent food, but also be so enchanted by their ...
Jen and I have been trying to get to visit Isenhower Cellars forever. They’re open Thursdays through Mondays, 12pm to 5pm. Most Woodinville wineries aren’t open on Mondays, so I was grateful to be able to make an appointment to stop in on a recent summer Monday around lunchtime. Inside the tasting room, I met Susan, the wonderful tasting room ...
When Carrie and I ducked into Cascade Cliff’s Woodinville tasting room, I had no idea that they would have so many wine tasting choices for us. With over 20 Piedmont Italian varietals, specializing in Barbera, Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, we had many delicious options to enjoy. This tasting room is located in the West Valley District, next to Basel Cellars and ...
On a recent Sunday afternoon, my friend Serret and I had an enjoyable Girls Day Out in Woodinville. One of the first places we stopped to taste wine was over at W.T. Vintners in the Woodinville Warehouse District. We met the fantastic and friendly tasting room manager, Elise, and some of her children. We examined the map of vineyards where ...
Last week Jen and I attended actor/winemaker Kyle MacLachlan’s wine tasting event at Metropolitan Market in Sammamish. We normally only cover and write about wine that you can taste in Woodinville tasting rooms, but this event sounded really fun and intriguing. We’ll call it a field trip! We enlisted a passerby to take our (blurry!) photograph with the winemaker. We ...
What do you do when you have people stopping by to talk business on a scorching hot workday, and you suspect it’s a bit too early to pull out some wine, even for an avid drinker such as myself? (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This means if you click on the link and purchase ...
A couple Tuesdays ago, my friends Valerie and Atul wanted to meet me at Chateau Ste. Michelle for the free music event, “Chateau Tuesdays.” What a fabulous idea – a nice warm summer evening, food trucks, and local Woodinville wine to enjoy! I packed a picnic blanket into my car, picked up Valerie, and headed out. We wish we’d arrived ...
