I was hunting for a new bistro/brewery and was so happy to find Airways Brewing bistro and beer garden! This brewery offers a selection of its own brews and guest brews from several other PNW breweries. I love it when I find a winery or brewery that makes the choice to not only serve their own beer and wine but ...

I recently visited Vivi Pizzeria, in the heart of Woodinville’s Hollywood District for a delicious pizza. It had ben a very long time since I had been here, and I was really excited for the team at Vivi when I saw their updated restaurant and kitchen.

I know that I am not alone when I say that I am excited to be able to spend a little more time out in tasting rooms with friends! It had been almost two years since my good friend Tonja and I were able to make it out to Woodinville, and our afternoon spent dining at Vivi Pizzeria and sipping ...
