I received some information from the owners Richard and Tracy Shaffer about them and their plans:

My wife Tracy and I will be starting a fulltime, “hop on hop off,” shuttle service for the Woodinville area. We will have a continuous shuttle driving a designated route to our partner wineries, picking up and dropping passengers. The route will take approximately 30 minutes.

After seventeen years in corporate security, working for Microsoft and continuing with a prominent local family as director of Global Security, I have decided to retire and open my business in Woodinville. We live locally and will personally drive and operate this shuttle service.

Coming Early Spring 2012

• This shuttle service will be solely dedicated to Woodinville and surrounding areas. The service will operate as a continuous shuttle between select wineries, breweries, and restaurants daily.
• Our close relationship with partner wineries will allow for exclusive “hop on, hop off” designated spots. Those “hop spots” will have exclusive signage to allow riders to know where to wait. Special discounts on wine and products may be available through the wine shuttle.
• The shuttle will drive between select wineries and restaurants. Feel free to hop on or off at any time. The route takes approximately 25 minutes. Purchased items and goods can be kept and stored securely on the shuttle throughout your day. Your one time ticket price of $20.00 is valid for the entire day.
• Payments can be made at time of “hop on” via cash, credit, or debit. Tickets can be purchased and printed ahead of time by clicking the secure Pay Pal button.
• Additional services: An after-hours designated driving service will be limited to a certain amount of miles and provided at an additional cost.

These fun and educational panels feature renowned wine experts from across the country leading in-depth explorations of Washington State wines. This year’s panelists include Dave McIntyre, Wine Columnist for The Washington Post; Chef Michael Mina of Bourbon Steak and RN74; Leslie Sbrocco, contributor to NBC’s “Today”; Sara Schneider, Wine Editor for Sunset; Bruce Schoenfeld, Wine Editor for Travel + Leisure; and Jason Smith, Master Sommelier and Wine Director at Bellagio Las Vegas.

The highlight of the weekend is the Grand Tasting on Sunday, March 27, at Qwest Field Event Center, with more than 200 Washington State wineries and the region’s top restaurants sampling their latest releases and newest creations. The Grand Tasting also features celebrity chef demonstrations; dessert and coffee bars; and a vineyard tasting area, allowing guests to compare and contrast the wide variety of wines that are made from some of Washington State’s most sought-after vineyards.

“Now more than ever, wine enthusiasts are looking for good value, and Taste Washington is still the best Washington State wine event around,” says Robin Pollard, Executive Director of the Washington State Wine Commission. “Featuring more than 200 Washington State wineries and the Northwest’s leading restaurants under one roof, the Grand Tasting makes Taste Washington the largest single-region wine and food event in the country,” she adds.

The food at the Tulalip is absolutely wonderful. I managed to get a taste of most of the dishes. I really enjoyed the Basil Pepper Fettuccini  with Alaskan prawns, sundried tomatoes, and Chardonnay garlic sauce served in a martini glass; the Duck slider with Asian slaw; the Pacific Halibut over fennel-butternut squash bread pudding; Spicy Won Ton cup. My favorite was the Pan Seared Antelope Medallions with Pepper Relish and a Cabernet Demi. I had never tried antelope before and was instantly hit with a dilemma of what wine to pair with it? Luckily, Grand Reve Vintners was right across from that table and Paul suggested his Series 1. It was a perfect pairing; the Cab, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot blend did not overpower the antelope.

I suggest that you mark your calendars for next year’s Taste of Tulalip on November 11th & 12th. I heard good things about the seminars so I hope I can attend some of those next year.
