Yesterday while I was shopping at the Redmond Costco, I noticed some really good deals on wines from Woodinville. I wanted to share this information with you immediately. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to stock up on Woodinville wine for the upcoming holiday season. Let’s see what I found: Matthews’ 2014 Claret is available for $26.99, and the ...
I throw parties quite often, and love to serve cocktails to my guests along with Woodinville wines I bring home from my wine tastings. I frequent Proper & Ernest, a well curated specialty liquor store in a Woodinville strip mall, to resupply my liquor cabinet. I come in and ask Jeff’s advice. He won’t let us photograph him, but cheerily ...
If you happen to be playing hookey on a weekday, lunching at Purple Cafe and then hitting up a couple of wine tasting rooms, I have a wonderful suggestion for you! Stop by for an indulgent half hour or so of browsing and shopping at Molbak’s Garden + Home, Woodinville’s showcase nursery and home decor store. I recommend shopping *before* ...
What a pleasant surprise it was for us to discover 21 Acres Farm Market in Woodinville. This is a photo from their vibrant deli, which offers freshly prepared to-go items, all made in-house!

We stopped by Molbak’s in early autumn and enjoyed a quick sneak peek at their Christmas offerings. Of course by now, they’ll have even more festive decorations and beautiful displays up! I was delighted to see they’re carrying “Frasier Fir,” my favorite holiday scented candles from Thymes. It was difficult passing up these adorable white and cream woodland plush animals. ...

After a lunchtime wine-tasting last week, Jen and I went to Molbak’s Garden + Home to shop. (Shopping after indulging in wine can get expensive, let me warn you!) We were delighted to see their Under-The-Sea theme room under construction, with busy designers scurrying about, up on ladders, and carefully arranging displays. What a lovely way to incorporate an ocean ...
One day last week, Jen and I decided to stop by Molbak’s Garden + Home after lunch and some wine tasting here in Woodinville. Their displays are so clever and beautiful – I never would have thought to arrange miniature pumpkins in a coffin-shaped bookcase! Here are some of their sugar pumpkins, too. Who could resist taking a little tour ...
Let’s face it, I’m a shopaholic. So now that I’ve admitted it, I can tell you how delighted I was to explore Columbia Winery’s lovely gift shop while I was at a recent wine tasting. This table offers several fragrances in the heavenly Rewined candle line, plus modern wood or wire wine bottle holders, aerators and wine glasses. Their Rose ...
I keep dragging soon-to-be-appreciative friends into this incredible liquor store that’s tucked away in a little strip mall in Woodinville.

Sure, I could shop for my parties at ...
