Last week we visited Woodinville’s DeLille Cellars Carriage House and enjoyed an impressive array of limited production wines. Executive winemaker Chris Upchurch and winemaker Jason Gorski have crafted a lineup of classic French Bordeaux style blends, focused on the Red Mountain AVA with grapes sourced from Washington’s leading vineyards. We were so excited when we learned that we would be able ...
Yesterday, my boyfriend had the surprise good fortune of a day off! I promptly dragged him to Bellevue Square, where we shopped for clothes at Macy’s, stopped for drinks and appetizers at Tavern Hall, and browsed furniture at Crate and Barrel. I thought this was a good opportunity to take my beer-loving boyfriend to Woodinville to watch me indulge in ...
On a rainy afternoon earlier this week, Jen and I headed into Woodinville to enjoy a tasting or two. We’ve been trying to make it to Airfield Estates for quite a while – I frequently buy Airfield Estates wine at PCC Markets to serve at my weekend parties. I was glad to finally be able to check this place out! ...
We tend to get cabin fever after a long week of working indoors at our computers, hunched over steaming hot cups of tea or coffee. So when we see opportunities to get out of the house AND taste wine AND hang out with friends, we go for it! We wanted to share some events worth bundling up and leaving the ...

On Saturday night, it was raining terribly, plus dark out and sort of miserable. That didn’t stop us from going out to a wine tasting with a friend! Why sit home feeling sorry for ourselves when nearly 100 wine tasting rooms are a few minutes’ drive away? We decided to stop by Tsillan Cellars – I’ve spent more than a ...
