Who else here is a big book nerd? I love to read several books every week (when my dogs and boyfriend and busy life aren’t distracting me). I especially love reading books with a wine glass in hand, on a patio or porch or lounge chair in summertime. I wanted to share a couple of my recent summer reading book ...

On our way back home to Woodinville after our Walla Walla wine field trip, Kaiti and I couldn’t resist stopping into L’Ecole No. 41 to shop for a couple bottles of Walla Walla wine to bring back home. It’s easy to find L’Ecole No. 41 wines in Seattle-area grocery stores, such as QFC, Haggen and Fred Meyer, but I wanted ...

We’re starting to host backyard parties again now that it’s summer and socialization restrictions in our state have eased up!

I know that I am not alone when I say that I am excited to be able to spend a little more time out in tasting rooms with friends! It had been almost two years since my good friend Tonja and I were able to make it out to Woodinville, and our afternoon spent dining at Vivi Pizzeria and sipping ...

Every year in April and May, Carrie and I start our favorite yearly process of gathering all of the newly released Rosé wines from as many Woodinville wineries as we can manage to get to.  We research release dates and plan out our trips to gather armloads of Rosé, before transforming Carrie’s beautiful backyard into a pink-themed Rosé wine party. ...

If you have not yet taken the stunning drive out to Carnation, WA to visit Orenda Winery, you seriously must make this a summer calendar date! We visited recently and met with owners/winemakers Samantha and Xander Kent. Samantha, gorgeously expecting their first child, gave us an incredible tour of the grounds, while Zander showcased a piece of honeycomb from the ...

We found the perfect luxury gift for Mother’s Day, for Father’s Day, or for your wine-loving world traveler friend.

(They’re also a bit expensive, so they’re not going to appeal to just any shopper, but we thought we’d point them out in case you enjoyed looking ...

Our wine blog’s fourth anniversary is approaching, and Jen and I wanted to share our favorite wines from each winery with you. Of course, our favorites change as vintages differ, new wines appear, our palates change and our whims carry us in other directions! Your palate is likely very different from ours, but we thought we’d share some of our ...
