About a month ago, Jen and I decided to head south to explore what Kent has to offer. Since it’s so far from where I live, I haven’t taken the time to check out the city. To my surprise, there were a lot of unique restaurants and tasting rooms. We wanted to check out Reds Wine and Craft Beers in ...

Quite frankly, I tend to avoid the area altogether. That is until I learned about White Heron Cellars inside Pike Place Market’s DownUnder. You have to walk passed the primary market down ...
