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 ...

On Sunday, I made arrangements to bring a group of friends from Eastside Social Club to taste wine and share some snacks at Davenport Cellars in the Warehouse District in Woodinville. It was a rainy, cloudy, cool day so we were able to hang out with some of the disappointed hikers and bikers we wouldn’t have seen on a summer ...

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 ...

My friend Serret and I wanted to invite friends over to celebrate National Rosé Day. (It’s held on the second Saturday in June). Serret is super creative and has an eye for detail. We love working together to create fun and fantastic over-the-top parties. We decided to collaborate on a pink-themed Rosé celebration for a group of our mutual lady ...

On a recent warmish evening, your Woodinville Wine Blog staff had dinner plans with a few friends. We’d agreed to meet at Carrie’s house to carpool into town, but traffic being what it is, we knew our friends wouldn’t all be arriving at the same time. We thought it would be nice to serve a small snack and a glass ...

We were thrilled to be able to attend the second annual event, which took place at the Sammamish Valley Grange in Woodinville. Lisa, the winemaker at ...

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 ...

Ever since I learned about the Woodinville Cut Shop I couldn’t wait to go check it out and have lunch there.  Carrie and I managed to meet up between visiting tasting rooms.  I was instantly charmed by the warm, nostalgic décor and friendly staff! We had absolutely zero trouble jumping on board with the retro theme and promptly ordered two ...

My friend Angie’s birthday coincided with Memorial Day Weekend this year. She had plans to celebrate with her son on her actual birthday, so I asked if I could take her to dinner to celebrate a couple days early. When she said yes, I immediately thought to take her to a nice weeknight dinner at Tandem Dinner + Wine Bar. ...

Recently I stopped by Goose Ridge’s tasting room here in Woodinville, eager to check out their highly anticipated canned wine. (By the way, this post is not sponsored by them and I paid for my wine myself!) I’ve been holding onto my six pack in case we went to the beach or a picnic, but we haven’t. So instead, I ...
