Now that our wineries and tasting rooms are closed due to the coronavirus situation, you might have some extra time on your hands to get important tasks done.

It’s Taste Washington Wine Month, and yet the Taste Washington festival had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

YouTube is extremely important in 2020 for marketing, selling, and branding your winery and your wines. I got curious to see which Woodinville (and Walla Walla parent wineries) have YouTube channels.
