Chateau Ste. Michelle: Revisiting the Tour

by Shona Milne on May 15, 2009

I went to Chateau Ste. Michelle yesterday afternoon. I had not been on their winery tour for at least seven years, if I remember correctly. I take all of my out of town guests and just make them go on the tour. It seemed a good day to revisit the tour. Tweet This Post

I saw a listing for a Boutique Woodinville Winery on Craig’s List on May 5th. It had been listed for sale in April and then disappeared and now it’s back up for sale again. The mystery continues. Tweet This Post
