I knew from the moment that I slid into Columbia Winery’s parking lot on early Saturday morning that it would be an interesting weekend. I handed out glasses and tickets to St. Nick’s Open House Weekend before the event and headed out late Saturday morning for some power tasting. It was a cold, frosty, and […]
