Let me start this post out with an admission that last year I was unable to attend DeLille Cellar’s Spring Barrel event, and I was so disappointed that I have had this year’s release on my calendar since November! I am so glad that Carrie and I had the opportunity to attend this fabulous event. On Sunday afternoon, my fiancé ...
For my sister Mariel’s second-ever Woodinville wine tasting experience, we decided to treat her to an afternoon at Alexandria Nicole Cellars in the Hollywood District. Mariel prefers white wines, so we thought this would be a nice place to let her sample a variety of regional Washington whites. Inside, we met the fabulous Mae Olivia, and our lives will never ...
Recently I brought my friend John from Wenatchee into the Woodinville Bookwalter Winery tasting room so he could check it out. A group of realtors was having an event outdoors, and a couple customers were tasting wine. It’s always nice to see Rochelle, and I was delighted to see that the Bookwalter winemaker happened to be in town that day ...
My friend John and I stopped by the Obelisco Estate tasting room at the Apple Farm Village recently. I wanted to taste and pick up a bottle of their Rosé, and see what was on their current tasting menu lineup and events calendar. Obelisco’s live music starts on Saturday nights at 4:30 pm. Upcoming musicians include Spencer Coffman, Jason and Abraham ...
My friend John from Wenatchee and I were out exploring Woodinville’s wine tasting rooms yesterday. It occurred to me that it had been a few months since I’d stopped by to visit Annie at Efeste, and I hadn’t picked up a bottle of their Rosé yet either! Annie poured me a taste of the Rosé to enjoy while she packaged up ...
Yesterday I went on a quest to restock my collection of Woodinville Rosé wines. (We drank up quite a few bottles, you see, at my recent Mother’s Day party). We popped into the Airfield Estates tasting room, wishing we had time to do a full tasting while we were here. On the way in, I had to stop and admire ...
My sister Mariel and I share the same birthday month – April. In fact, our birthdays are both in the very same week! We like to celebrate our birthdays together, but I live here in Woodinville and she lives in San Diego. Last year we flew to Las Vegas to celebrate our birthdays together; this year she did me the ...
It was a first for me – I went wine tasting in Woodinville. Alone, all by myself! I’m not shy, but it felt weird not to have Jen and one or two of our friends with me. But I had a free hour or so on a recent cloudy weekday, and thought it might be a good opportunity to finally ...
This is the face of a man who would really, really appreciate a beer right about now! Alas for my poor boyfriend Bob, he had kindly agreed to be my driver on a recent Saturday. I’ve been wanting to check out more of the Woodinville Warehouse District tasting rooms. Most of them are only open on weekends, and limited hours ...
Recently, I visited Goose Ridge Estate Winery’s Woodinville tasting room with my lovely friends, Claudette and Zoe. Goose Ridge Vineyards is home to a beautiful 2200 acre Richland estate, as well as tasting rooms in Woodinville, Walla Walla, and Leavenworth, Washington. There are wine club choices for everyone here! A Golden Goose, Snow Goose and a Cider Club membership option ...
