Last week I was scrolling through our Instagram feed and saw that Sparkman Cellars was offering take home tasting flights and I had to get one! When I arrived at the drive through pick up counter, I scored a quick peek (outside only, of course) of the new Sparkman space at Hollywood Station (the former Red Hook Brewery). Saying that ...
There’s a new winery opening up in the Woodinville warehouse district this weekend: Category 5 Cellars! I met these guys last year briefly and tasted their delicious Albarino. I know they’ve been working so hard to make their dream of owning a Woodinville tasting room come true, and the day is finally here! Due to the current situation, they’ll be ...
I wanted to take a quick little side trip away from blogging about wine today to let you know about our fabulous experience ordering local beer from Woodinville-based Good Brewing Co. (They didn’t ask me to write this post by the way!) My boyfriend really, really likes beer, and since he’s too (ahem) old to be safely going to grocery ...
I recently made a trip to Woodinville’s Matthews Winery to stock up on their wines via the curbside pickup option. I had not ordered ahead, so when I arrived, I called the tasting room at the pick up order number, (253)-327-8615. As you can see, the doors to the winery were open because of the sunny weather, but Matthews is ...
We have nearly 125 wineries and tasting rooms in Woodinville, and nearly all of them specialize in Washington wine made from grapes grown in Washington vineyards. However, three out-of-the-box thinkers are giving us the opportunity to taste wines that were grown almost exclusively in Oregon. Check it out, and visit them when everything opens up again if you can! Panther ...

Our March calendars include social events such as Taste Washington Wine Month, Seattle Uncorked’s Cabernet Classic, and the Taste Washington grand tasting weekend in Seattle. March brings the first day of Spring and with that comes many spring Woodinville wine releases. March usually means, for those of ...
Carrie and I genuinely wish you safety and good health (and of course, plenty of great Woodinville wine!) during the Coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 has changed the worldwide landscape and changed many perspectives along the way. Business operations continue to change and as consumers, so do our shopping methods. We wanted to find a way to make it easier for you ...
If you are working from home this week and can sneak out for an hour or so to taste wine, or if you have Mondays off, you have a nice variety of tasting rooms in Woodinville you could visit. I love tasting wine in Woodinville on Mondays because it’s easier to find parking, far less crowded, and you get a ...
This week we were invited to come take a sneak peek at the new Adrice Wines winery tasting room in the warehouse district in Woodinville. We met up with owners Julie Bulrice, left, and Pamela Adkins, on the right. They’ve been busy this week moving out of their smaller Artisan Hill space into the former Davenport Cellars tasting room. We ...
I recently met up with my friend Zoe for a much needed afternoon of wine tasting and catching up. Our first stop of the day was Beaumont Cellars, in the Woodinville Junction. Our tasting room associate, Lori, was super friendly and eager to chat with us. Lori shared stories about the Beaumont Family’s winemaking process and about the many varieties ...
