For the first time, I attended Taste Washington. There were over two hundred wineries under one roof. There were also sixty restaurants. I’m not sure how many of the wineries and restaurants I tasted the wine or food but you have got to pace yourself to enjoy Taste Washington. Tweet This Post

I had an advanced taste of the 2007 O Wines Chardonnay this week. I thought the 2006 Chardonnay from Horse Heaven Hills was good but the 2007 from Yakima Valley was amazing. It should be on the way to stores and you should see it by January. I also hear that they are going to be […]
