I was very excited about my recent visit to Icon Cellars in Woodinville’s Artisan Hill District. My friend Zoe and I walked into the tasting room and immediately loved the warm, inviting atmosphere! There was music playing (they often offer live music as well) and Zoe said that she felt as if she was in Europe. I always love wine ...

To commemorate the anniversary, the distillers are releasing two limited edition whiskeys: their Woodinville Triple Barrel Blended Whiskey Finished in Ardbeg Islay Scotch Barrels and also their Woodinville Bottled-in-Bond Straight ...
I was very excited to finally enjoy a wine tasting at Woodinville’s Pomum Cellars. Allison, Pomum’s tasting room manager was super friendly and shared lots of wine knowledge with us, which we love. I was instantly so impressed with the newly remodeled space and shamelessly ran my hands along the surface of this beautiful table. Pomum Cellars is owned and ...

We get it. Wine tasting can be intimidating. You don’t want to look foolish or unsophisticated, you don’t want to pay too much or drink wine you won’t like. You want to go out with friends and have a good time, but you’re not sure where to take them if most of you aren’t yet experienced wine tasters. It’s totally ...
What happens if your wine-savvy (perhaps wine-snobby?) aunt comes to town over the holidays and wants you to take her wine tasting in Woodinville? Where will you go? Which of the nearly 130 tasting rooms would you prioritize? Your aunt has tasted world-class wines before, and you want her to taste some of the best of what Washington and Woodinville ...
The new DeLille Cellars wine tasting room at The Hollywood Station in Woodinville has been the talk of the town for months now. Jen is a DeLille Cellars club member, and we’ve enjoyed sipping wine at the Carriage House. But we’re so happy DeLille is expanding and growing! So when Jen and I were invited to take a quick little ...

Pam Adkins and Julie Bulrice were exceptionally attentive and even agreed to star in a few of our social media videos. (Awesome!!) We are always thrilled to have any ...
