Carrie and I were beyond excited when we were able to set up an afternoon of wine tasting with Jill Perillo Clark, Director of Central Washington University’s Wine Studies program. Jill joined us on a few of our 2020 virtual wine tasting events, but this was the first time we had met in person. We finally got to share Woodinville ...

We have always been huge fans of Damsel Cellars wines, especially after meeting the damsel herself: winemaker Mari Womack. We first met several years back at a charity event for Sisters of the Vinifera Revolution and have been fans since. Not only is Mari making killer Washington wines, she’s approachable and down-to-earth. This winning combination makes you want to come ...
We were so excited to visit Wit Cellars and taste wine in Woodinville’s Warehouse District a few weeks back. I don’t often have the chance to go to Woodinville wineries on Sunday afternoons, so to make a date of it I invited my fiance James along. We were immediately greeted by Susan and the team at Wit who were super ...
Once in a while, we get asked by our readers if there are any ice wines available in Woodinville.

Washington ...
Carrie and I were both so excited to learn that our friend Carole from Keto Carole was going to be in Woodinville this week. I was unfortunately covered in attic insulation (trying to make sure snow had not gotten in the roof vents during the big storm) and missed this wine tasting patio date. I hope to see Carole soon! ...

Ever since DeLille Cellars moved to their new home, we’ve been wondering what might take its place in the old Carriage House here in Woodinville’s Hollywood District. I got really curious a couple weeks ago when I saw a tent truck and some workmen outside, but I didn’t want to be TOO nosy or intrusive, so didn’t ask too many ...
This winter has tossed a curve ball to our favorite Woodinville wineries, as they were once again closed for indoor tastings and dining. As the winery owners in this amazing community pivoted and found new ways to sell wine and serve customers, we saw amazing efforts to create safe patios spaces. We were thrilled to visit Chateau Lill and enjoy ...
