On a cloudy, dreary Saturday in February, my friend Serret and I decided it would be infinitely more pleasurable to go wine tasting in Woodinville than to sit at our homes doing laundry and chores. My boyfriend was visiting his parents and hers was on a trip with his band, so we took advantage of the opportunity to have a ...
On Sunday, my boyfriend and I were heading to the Woodinville Home Depot to pick up some supplies for our forthcoming vegetable garden. However, I couldn’t just pass by Castillo de Feliciana without stopping in to say hello and replenish my Spanish style wine inventory. Spring isn’t quite here yet, but look how nicely their patio area is shaping up! ...
Jen and I have been really intrigued to get over and explore Efeste‘s tasting room here in Woodinville. Finally in late February we were able to fit it into our wine tasting schedule! We eagerly explored the modern, spacious tasting room. There’s plenty of seating for events, and a kitchen area. Do you see what I see in this photo? ...
On Saturday evening, I took my fiancé James to Lauren Ashton Cellars in Woodinville for their Ashton Troy Wines release event. The house was packed, with live music, small bites and delicious wines for all. We had the chance to meet winemaker Kit Singh, his wife Riinu and Director of Business Development, Kimberly Ellertson, who went out of their way ...
One day last week I invited my friend Valerie to lunch and wine tasting here in Woodinville. I love having friends with flexible schedules who can take time off from studying to spend a little time with me on an otherwise dull rainy day! Valerie hadn’t been to Purple Cafe in a long time, and I was secretly delighted she ...
Serret from Serretabella Images joined me recently at a weekday wine tasting at Fidelitas’ Hollywood District tasting room here in Woodinville. Besides being eager to taste their Red Mountain wines, she was excited to photograph their stunning, modern tasting room space. She took a lot of time to carefully photograph the beautiful atmosphere for you to enjoy here on our ...
Wanting to raise our spirits on a recent gloomy, rainy winter day, Serret (from Serretabella Images) and I decided to treat ourselves to an afternoon wine tasting in Woodinville! Why not? A girl shouldn’t sit huddled by the fireplace moping all afternoon! We wandered into the welcoming Dusted Valley tasting room after a nice lunch at Purple Cafe nearby. Dusted Valley was ...
When we arrived at Lauren Ashton Cellars, we met the lovely Bill Collins, who spent at least two hours educating us about wine and wine tasting! He was by far the most passionate wine expert we’ve yet met. Right from the start, we felt so welcomed. Riinu, who is the Director of Marketing, (and wife of winemaker Kit Singh) prepared a ...
An abundance of Woodinville wine is available at Smasne Cellars! Smasne Cellars has been on my radar for a long time and I recently made a trip there on a Sunday afternoon. My fiance James, my daughter Natalie, Carrie and I had a memorable tasting! Look at the wine offerings on this tasting room board, I think it might be ...
Jen and I always eat some sort of meal or snack before going wine tasting here in Woodinville. Wine tasting on an empty stomach is not a good idea, especially not when we both have to drive home later! Recently we stopped by The Collective on Tap to enjoy some snacks before hitting the Hollywood District tasting rooms. This place ...
