We were so excited to visit Woodinville’s newest tasting room, Panther Creek Cellars, when it opened recently. Panther Creek Cellars is a well-known Oregon winery with a long history. I wanted to include this photograph of their cheery planters to help you find the tasting room after you park in the busy parking lot nearby! The Panther Creek Cellars tasting ...
Jen and I had both been to music events and wine tastings at Cave B Estate Winery’s tasting room here in Woodinville, back before we knew each other. But for both of us, it had been a few years since we were here. We were curious and eager to come check it out! We were charmed by the tasting room ...
I finally had the opportunity to join Carrie at Basel Cellars’ Woodinville tasting room recently. I had wanted to visit and check out their Bordeaux inspired wines for months! A lush patio and chalkboard sign awaited us as we pulled up to Basel, and I wished we had just a bit more time that afternoon to sit back and enjoy ...
Our social club (Eastside Social Club on Meetup) had so much fun the week before at Davenport Cellars, we decided to meet again for wine and snacks. As always, Sheila and Jeff were fantastic hosts and made us feel right at home. This was the first time we’d visited during nice hot sunny weather. We were delighted to see Davenport ...
Recently, Jen and I were able to treat our friend Diane to a day of wine tasting in Woodinville. We took her to a nice lunch, then headed to our appointment at Martedi Winery. We were honored to have Joseph Miglino, the winemaker, spend so much time with us talking about his wines and his traditional hands-off winemaking process. Tuesday ...
Valerie and I were out tasting wine in Woodinville on a recent Saturday. She hasn’t spent much time at many Artisan Hill tasting rooms, so we drove over to see who might still be open late in the day. I was delighted to see Pomum Cellars was still open. I was fairly certain Valerie would be very impressed with their ...
On Sunday I was wine tasting in Woodinville’s Warehouse District with a small handful of friends. (Luckily there were only five of us, as tasting rooms generally prefer you to make an advance reservation if your party is six people or more). My friends had never been to Savage Grace, and wanted to taste some intriguing wines. I knew Savage ...
On Sunday, I hosted a social club meetup over at Davenport Cellars in the Woodinville warehouse district. After eating lunch and enjoying their glass pours, a few of us headed out to explore the nearby tasting rooms. A few of us ended up at Flying Dreams Winery, since it’s been recommended to us so many times. I was looking forward to meeting ...
Today, on a rainy lazy Sunday, I stopped by the William Church Winery tasting room here in the Woodinville Warehouse District. I’d only previously been to their Hollywood District tasting room and was eager to compare the two. An immediate difference is the larger amount of parking available near the Warehouse District tasting room. Inside, I met Porter, the official ...
Recently, Jen and I managed to schedule time with our friend Joanna to taste more wine in Woodinville together. We were excited to visit Long Shadows, who were featured in the Spring 2018 Wine Press Northwest magazine as “Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year.” We met Norm, the lead wine educator at Long Shadows. We learned so much from him! I ...
