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 ...
On our way to a day of exploration and wine tasting in Woodinville, my friend Serret (from Serretabella Images) and I stopped by the new Rooster Bakery on 140th near Matthews Winery. (It’s in the space that was formerly known as the French Bakery at the Vineyard). Inside, we met the owner and instantly loved her. She’s quite a character. ...
Last Sunday, my friend Serret from Serretabella Images joined me for a day of wine tasting in the Woodinville Warehouse District. I am always eager to explore tasting rooms in the warehouse district when I get a chance – most are only open on weekends, and my weekends are super busy usually. We were delighted to have a girls day ...
Last Sunday, I had promised my boyfriend a beer or two, after he’d spent the morning working hard in our tomato garden. I was going to take him to 20 Corners Brewing for his well-earned reward. But on our way by, I got super excited when I saw Castillo de Feliciana’s sandwich sign board turned to “open.” I couldn’t resist stopping, ...
Recently, we went wine tasting at the Tsillan Cellars tasting room here in Woodinville. Jen’s been to the Chelan winery, but hadn’t been in here yet. We came early in the afternoon so as to greedily have the tasting room all to ourselves. We love how light-filled it is! We met the new tasting room associate, Taylor. She is so ...
Last time I went to taste wine at Torii Mor here in Woodinville, I immediately regretted going without Jen. I instinctively knew she would love these Oregon wines so much! So when our appointment to visit another tasting room nearby fell through, I took it as a sign it was time to finally get Jen in here to taste their ...
Jen and I had heard so much exciting buzz about the opening of the new Ryan Patrick tasting room here in Woodinville. We were looking forward to exploring it and tasting their wines! Finally our schedules synced up and we were able to go together. Our tasting room associate for the day was Hunter, who was so good natured about ...
On a recent sunny Sunday afternoon, some ladies from my social club met up in Woodinville for wine tasting. We’d already had snacks and enjoyed glasses of Rosé at Davenport Cellars, but wanted to explore a bit more. Wandering by Smasne Cellars in the Woodinville Warehouse District, we were intrigued and went in to check them out. The tasting room ...
Every Sunday in summertime, the tasting rooms at The Junction in Woodinville host a block party. Everybody has their doors wide open, patios open, and food trucks set up to feed hungry wine, beer and cider tasters. There’s live music too, by rotating musicians. Sadly, the block party is over at 5pm usually. I happened to be hosting a Meetup ...
We were eager to explore one of Woodinville’s two newest tasting rooms, Milbrandt Vineyards. It’s remarkable how much they transformed the former “Mazatlan” Mexican restaurant into two gorgeous tasting rooms and a lovely restaurant. We were stunned by the gorgeous, open and airy decor in this tasting room. I especially appreciated the Moroccan-style bazaar lantern shaped light fixtures. One wall ...
