Four Walla Walla Wineries worth a Visit

Monday, January 12th, 2009

In the process of cleaning up my desk and purging my files over the holidays, I found notes from four Walla Walla, Washington, wineries that we visited in October on the same weekend we took our vineyard tour with Rich Funk of Saviah Cellars. These four were wineries that we had not had a chance […]

Spanish Ayes!

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

One of my goals for 2008 is to learn more about Spanish wines.

As you go up the quality ladder in Spain, you probably think of Tempranillos […]
