Road Trip: Walla Walla, Day 1

As our road trip continued, we were excited to arrive back in our home state of Washington. We took two days to tour a select group of Walla Walla wineries. It was our first trip to Walla Walla in several years. Most Walla Walla wineries seem to be going to tasting fees that are refundable […]

Road Trip: Eastern Oregon

Friday, June 27th, 2008

As we continued our cross-country road trip, we stopped in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, at a couple of eastern Oregon wineries.

We didn’t have to pay any tasting fees, the attitude of the winery tasting […]

Wine Century Club Tasting II

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

We had so much fun exploring new wines in our first Wine Century Club Tasting that we decided to do it again. We headed over to K&L Wine Merchants to order another case of wine (actually a baker’s dozen this time), each bottle containing at least one grape variety that we had not previously tasted. […]
