Thursday was one of those days where neither I, nor my wife, knew what to do with ourselves. So after a few hours at the office, I came home and we decided to embark on back-to-back wine tasting escapades – since we spent the previous day doing the same thing! I guess you can’t argue with success right? If it worked yesterday and it isn’t broken…why fix it?...
As I’m making my way home from Minneapolis, Minnesota on a Wednesday morning (from a business trip), my wife asks if I’d be up for some wine tasting when I arrived home. What was I to do? My answer was, “If I must honey….if I must!” So we went straight from the airport to the wineries!...

On Sunday over the 4th of July weekend I decided to experience some new Walla Walla wineries. My first destination was to head to the Airport District on the Northeast side of Walla Walla where I visited Adamant Cellars. My timing was impeccable. ...
On Saturday July 6th, my wife and I found out that one of our favorite wine makers (Victor Palencia) is having an “opening” of his new Bodega tasting room in West Richland. It’s just across the street from Double Canyon and the setting is classy, beautiful and a perfect venue for Victor’s vision of focusing on Spanish varietal wines. ...
The Friday after the 4th of July was a great day to celebrate Red Mountain! Today's wine escapades provided new wine experiences and some great buys!...
