I love stopping in Village Wines, you never know who will show up. On Wednesday night they had a good crowd and I think part of it had to do with their Fab 5 offering of $5 wine by the glass and the $5 food plates. The staff and the customers are a bonus. They run […]

I made sure that I arrived just after noon on Saturday for Gorman Winery’s release event. Chris only opens up the winery once of twice a year so it’s a not to be missed event. Seattle Magazine has even elevated him to cult status. I’m happy to be a part of that cult. The tasting […]
