My friend Mariah and I had been trying to schedule an afternoon Woodinville wine tasting almost the entire summer and a few weeks back, we finally met up! I met Mariah while sitting outside on the lovely lawn at Alexandria Nicole Cellars in the Hollywood District of Woodinville wine country. She was a new friendly face at the tasting room ...
I know that I am not alone when I say that I am excited to be able to spend a little more time out in tasting rooms with friends! It had been almost two years since my good friend Tonja and I were able to make it out to Woodinville, and our afternoon spent dining at Vivi Pizzeria and sipping ...
We recently gave ourselves permission to enjoy an afternoon of relaxation at Chateau Ste. Michelle for a private picnic. If you follow us on Instagram and YouTube, you will have probably seen our other posts about the fabulous cabana rentals that the Chateau is offering. We have been so impressed with the creative options available for guests to enjoy outdoor ...
Today my longtime friend Courtnee drove up from Tacoma for a visit. We decided we want to help local businesses, who are struggling from lack of customers due to the current coronavirus situation. We are under age 60 and healthy, so decided to venture out and patronize a local restaurant here in Woodinville. We’d bring food back for my boyfriend ...
Once a week, an old friend of mine (Courtnee) and I meet up for lunch in Woodinville. We go on a couple of errands, take a trip to a grocery store (probably Haggen) for supplies, watch an episode of Picard and then embark on an epic cooking adventure. We make dinner for my boyfriend who arrives home from work super ...
With nothing to do on a beautifully sunny Sunday other than laundry and house cleaning, I decided to invite my friend Teresa out to lunch and wine tasting in Woodinville. (She’s terrified of cameras, so I respected her wishes and didn’t take her photo! We ended up dining outdoors on the patio outside at Bistro at Hollywood Schoolhouse, warm enough ...
After touring and photographing the new Teatro Zinzanni Woodinville on a bitterly cold weekday, Jen and I were chilled to the bone and hungry for hot comfort food. We decided that Barking Frog was the perfect place for our post-tour lunch, so we headed over to Willows Lodge. Jen was impressed by the large table that surrounds a cozy fire ...
Jen and I met up for a Woodinville Wine Blog brainstorming session on a recent chilly autumn afternoon. We hadn’t been to The Hollywood Tavern in quite a while, and wanted to drum up some excuse to run into Woodinville Whiskey Co. to shop for whiskey. (Like we need an excuse!) We looked longingly at the outdoor seating area and ...
On my way back from getting a pedicure in Woodinville today (on a workday? Gasp! Well hey, I got lots of Instagram work done while my feet were being worked on!) I stopped by the new Rooster bakery on 202. I’d seen a gorgeous photograph of darling little peach pastries on a Woodinville Facebook group and absolutely had to have ...
Last week, I was so excited to go to the grand opening of the new Whole Foods at Totem Lake in Kirkland. I live in a neighborhood that’s equally close to Redmond, Woodinville and Kirkland. Previously, the Redmond Whole Foods was my closest source of healthy, expensive, organic vegetarian foods. Now I have a Whole Foods closer to me, as well ...
