A few weeks ago I met up with my lovely friend Tonja for a much needed afternoon lunch / wine tasting trip to Woodinville, and we stopped into Darby Winery. This welcoming tasting room has been open in the heart of the Hollywood Schoolhouse District since 2012. The tasting lineup was very impressive, and offered 7 pours for $10, which ...
My friend Zoe and I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous Fall weather last weekend and got out to visit a few Woodinville wineries. I was so excited to see her and to experience the beautiful scenery before the rain begins and the leaves fall. We began our day at Heritage Restaurant + Bar. I had a really ...
Our second day at the Wine Bloggers Conference was again packed with opportunities to learn more about wine. We even had the chance to meet a handful of winery owners/winemakers with Woodinville tasting rooms. For lunch (and tastings) we walked a few blocks down the road from the Marcus Whitman hotel to Gard Vintners and Truth Teller Winery. I chose to ...

On a recent Sunday, some friends from Eastside Social Club joined me in the Woodinville Warehouse District for wine tastings. We began our day at Davenport Cellars with glass pours and delicious snacks. Our next destination was Pondera Winery.

Last week, I was so excited to go to the grand opening of the new Whole Foods at Totem Lake in Kirkland. I live in a neighborhood that’s equally close to Redmond, Woodinville and Kirkland.
