Once a week, an old friend of mine (Courtnee) and I meet up for lunch in Woodinville. We go on a couple of errands, take a trip to a grocery store (probably Haggen) for supplies, watch an episode of Picard and then embark on an epic cooking adventure. We make dinner for my boyfriend who arrives home from work super ...
If you’re in Woodinville for vacation or a wine-tasting getaway, you’ll have several wonderful restaurants to choose from for your meals! Take a look at seven of our favorite local restaurants! I can’t recommend Purple Cafe highly enough! Their restaurants (they have one in downtown Seattle, one in Bellevue and this Woodinville location) are elegant, the food’s delicious, the wine ...
If you’re on an extended trip to visit Woodinville wineries and taste Washington wine at one of our more than 120 wineries, you might plan to eat at several of our top rated restaurants. You’ll probably put Purple Cafe, Barking Frog at Willows Lodge, Hollywood Tavern and Heritage Restaurant|Bar on the top of your list. You’ll probably get brunch at ...
Where do you like to go to breakfast on the weekend in Woodinville? Normally since I cook my boyfriend’s breakfast five weekdays in a row, he handles making breakfast on weekends. I get to lounge in bed scrolling Instagram and drinking tea while he cooks. But this Sunday we were both extra tired, and we didn’t want to mess up ...
Village Wines in Woodinville now hosts “Work From Village Wednesdays.” They’re delighted to have work-at-home types come bring a laptop and use their wi-fi any day of the week (so long as we all order food and drinks and don’t hog a table for eight hours!) However, on Wednesdays they’re especially inviting entrepreneurial types and those of us who work ...
(image credit Chateau Ste. Michelle) New Year’s Resolutions don’t have to prevent us from enjoying a nice, healthy glass of juice, with erm, a little sparkling wine in it! After all, we have to be mentally fortified for our weekend outings (hiking, perhaps? Dog park strolls? Biking along the Sammamish River Trail?) Let’s take a look at some of the ...
After touring and photographing the new Teatro Zinzanni Woodinville on a bitterly cold weekday, Jen and I were chilled to the bone and hungry for hot comfort food. We decided that Barking Frog was the perfect place for our post-tour lunch, so we headed over to Willows Lodge. Jen was impressed by the large table that surrounds a cozy fire ...
Jen and I met up for a Woodinville Wine Blog brainstorming session on a recent chilly autumn afternoon. We hadn’t been to The Hollywood Tavern in quite a while, and wanted to drum up some excuse to run into Woodinville Whiskey Co. to shop for whiskey. (Like we need an excuse!) We looked longingly at the outdoor seating area and ...
Earlier this summer, Jen and I took her daughters on an overnight vacation to Wenatchee and to Cave B Inn. We were warned to make dinner reservations ahead of time at the popular Tendrils restaurant at the resort. There’s literally nowhere else to dine for miles around, and people from surrounding areas come here for special dinners. We took the ...
Jen and I got super hungry while we were out tasting wines at After Hours Woodinville recently. We’d thought there’d maybe be more food trucks at the events, or more flatbreads and cheese plates at the tasting rooms. We weren’t too disappointed though, because this was our excuse to go eat the yummy food at 20 Corners Brewing Company near ...
