On a recent Sunday, Carrie, Zoe and I made plans for a wine tasting girls day. I find that being a mom of two, working full time, and balancing all of my personal responsibilities and commitments can be a daunting task, and I was very excited for some relaxation! We had a limited window of time and sought out ...
Carrie and I realized just how many wineries are tucked away in the Warehouse District of Woodinville, and we were beyond excited to explore them. This was our first wine tasting experience on this side of town, and are pleased to say that the service and wine at Woodhouse Wine Estates were outstanding! They serve wines from various labels, including ...
Last week we decided to explore the Apple Farm Village. Carrie drives by it every day and her curiosity needed to be satisfied finally!

Last week Jen and I were compelled by a passing view from the road of these restful Adirondack chairs.

With all the many tasting rooms in Woodinville to choose from, I have to say it was Brian Carter Cellars‘ beautiful patio that drew us in.

The sun was out, temperatures were rising, and miraculously my good friend Zoe and I had openings in our schedules at the same time! We decided a wine tasting was the perfect way to catch up.
