You see a vaulted wooden ceiling that is amazing. The barn was built in 1927 and can host up to 300 people. This space can be dressed up for […]

A sign that government actually does work sometimes from MyNorthwest.com. The state house has approved that beer and wine tasting can take place in grocery stores. Try it before you buy it! Do you think this will increase wine and beer sales? Tweet This Post

Wedding Ideas: DeLille Cellars

by Shona Milne on February 14, 2010

What they had on Sunday was a tented outside space was the Seattle String Quartet providing music right next to the beautifully decorated […]

I attended a Tweetup at Northwest Totem Cellars last night. This Tweetup was organized by @SeattleWineGal also known as Barbara. I have attended a few of these events recently and they are a great way social media can benefit a business looking to promote itself and reach out to a different audience. Our evening started […]

An article on HeraldNet tells the challenge of wineries wanting to operate in Everett and how city codes are in conflict with these businesses. There is a chance that the city may revise the codes to be more wine friendly. Tweet This Post
