In mid-November, a friend invited us to join him for a special tasting event at Pomum Cellars here in Woodinville’s Warehouse District. Bob and I took him up on the offer, eager to escape a boring rainy day Sunday afternoon. Always up for an adventure! We stopped to admire Pomum’s barrels. Inside, I was greeted by Chris Sherry, who is ...
Today a couple of friends invited me to join them at Woodinville Whiskey Co. for their Port Finished Bourbon Release event. I love bourbon and enjoy the taste of port, so how could I say no? Melissa, the tasting room associate here, was her usual smiling and laid back self, despite the huge crowd of excited bourbon tasters. She poured ...
We could not have been more excited to spend a sunny fall afternoon visiting Castillo de Feliciana’s charming Woodinville tasting room! The autumn leaves were so beautiful on this sunny day! I love the natural canopy these leaves provided. Cozy chairs line up inside the wine club room. There are two club options, the Flamenco Club and the Salsa Club. ...
We’re really glad we stopped by JM Cellars last week before the windstorm hit and blew all the leaves off of their glorious trees! Their grounds are just stunning – just look at those colors! The air smelled so good, probably from the wood burning merrily away in their outdoor fire pits! Their maple trees looked incredible! And the rest ...
Every time we checked the weather report and saw a sunny day was ahead, we hustled over to Woodinville. We wanted to take advantage of several of the beautiful outdoor patios at various tasting rooms, before the autumn rains come. We were doing research for our post on dog-friendly tasting rooms, and happened to have little Lola with us. We ...
While the weather is still nice this summer and early autumn, we’ve tried to enjoy as many wine tasting patios as possible before the rains come. On several occasions, we’ve been delighted to meet other tasters’ dogs or the winery’s dog-in-residence. We saw relaxed, calm, leashed and well behaved dogs, all who were happy to accept our petting! While my ...
Carrie, entering Alexandria Nicole’s Woodinville tasting room on what was one of the last hot days of summer recently here in the Pacific Northwest. This is one of three tasting rooms that ANC has to offer guests. It is located on the ground floor of the Hollywood Schoolhouse Building in the historic district. They also have tasting rooms in Prosser, ...
One day Jen and I were headed to lunch at the Bistro at Hollywood Schoolhouse. We like to meet up at least once a week to catch up on work and, let’s face it, tons of gossip. We were hungry, but were enticed inside J. Bookwalter Tasting Studio briefly first. The tasting room manager, Jorge, is super friendly, and let ...
Let’s face it, I drag my poor beer-loving boyfriend to a lot of wine places here in Woodinville. He is a really good sport about it, and will drink the occasional glass of wine. But really, beer is his passion and his favorite thing to drink. So on Labor Day Weekend after I dragged him out in the heat to ...
