On our way to a day of exploration and wine tasting in Woodinville, my friend Serret (from Serretabella Images) and I stopped by the new Rooster Bakery on 140th near Matthews Winery. (It’s in the space that was formerly known as the French Bakery at the Vineyard). Inside, we met the owner and instantly loved her. She’s quite a character. ...
My friend Claudette runs Eastside Social Club, a Meetup group I’m grateful to have joined a couple years ago. I invited her out to lunch and wine tasting in Woodinville so we could plan upcoming social events, catch up on gossip and share a nice meal. She hadn’t been to Heritage Restaurant + Bar yet, and I suspected she would ...
Ever since I learned about the Woodinville Cut Shop I couldn’t wait to go check it out and have lunch there. Carrie and I managed to meet up between visiting tasting rooms. I was instantly charmed by the warm, nostalgic décor and friendly staff! We had absolutely zero trouble jumping on board with the retro theme and promptly ordered two ...
Recently Jen and I met up so she could experience the new Heritage Restaurant + Bar in the old Mazatlan space in Woodinville’s Hollywood District. I’d eaten here before with my friend Rebecca, and was glad to be back. The hostess is so welcoming, and you often run into the chef/owner who takes the time to stop by and say ...
I was so delighted that my friend Rebecca could join me for more wine tasting on a recent Saturday. We were glad to be able to get a table for two at the much-buzzed-about new restaurant in Woodinville, Heritage Restaurant + Bar. We admired the beautiful space and were grateful the restaurant was quiet enough (though fairly busy with other ...
I was delighted that my busy friend Joanna could join me for lunch and some wine tasting! She’s a busy flight attendant and a fellow member of Eastside Social Club. It’s hard for our schedules to synch up, so I jumped at the chance to spend some time with this really fun lady! I had plans for the two tasting ...
This week we Seattleites and Woodinville residents were delighted to be treated to some sunny days, finally! It’s been a long winter of dreary and rainy days, so the sunshine was very welcome. I decided to invite a friend over for lunch. Like me, she works at home, and we can occasionally meet up for a quick lunch on the ...
On a recent surprise sunny spring day, I wanted to eat lunch outdoors in my freshly gardened backyard here in Woodinville. I’d just picked up a couple trays of vegetarian sushi from Metropolitan Market in Sammamish. Note that I didn’t bring out any chopsticks with my meal – if I’m eating lunch at home with no one to observe ...
Recently, my friend Valerie and I were able to agree on a day to go to lunch and wine tasting in Woodinville. It’s nice to be able to fit a Ladies Lunch into the middle of a workweek! Not to mention a wine-soaked afternoon, grin. Neither one of us had been to Barking Frog in quite a while, so we ...
Recently, my friend Rebecca and I were able to carve out some time for a gossip-filled girls luncheon together. We couldn’t have chosen a better day – a Saturday lunch that happened to take place on an unseasonably warm, sunny day in late winter! We’ve been yearning for Spring, so being able to eat lunch outdoors and not freeze our ...
