Road Trip: Chelan

Friday, July 25th, 2008

The wine industry around Chelan, Washington, is relatively new, with a mixture of what I call “foo-foo” wineries and serious winemakers.

We were impressed that each of the wineries we visited sold only Colorado grown grapes, offered complimentary tastings, had nice professional tasting rooms, and their wines were pretty good. Our first stop was at Grande River Vineyards, Colorado’s oldest winery. Their […]

Great Value Wines

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Last Friday evening, John and I attended the Great Value Wines program at Central Washington University led by noted wine industry professional Amy Mumma. It was one of the consumer courses offered through CWU’s World Wine Program. If you live in Washington state, these consumer short courses are well worth checking out. The objective of […]
