Great Wine Weekend

Friday, Rich and I drove west to Woodinville just east of Seattle. Some wineries and many tasting rooms. Wineries in eastern Washington have tasting rooms on the west side of the mountains. We were particularly interested in Goose Ridge Winery. The winery is located in Richland, Washington down on the Columbia River in SE Washington. Some excellent wines. They sell a label called Stone Cap at some grocery stores with "wine stewards" such as Wegmans.
Yesterday was the Annual Wine Fest in Leavenworth which supports the NC Washington Growers Assoc. I tasted quite a few wines I had not had before. Some were DELICIOUS, some were not. But it was fun and I also won a bottle of wine in a raffle. I traveled alone for this one, as Rich and Andrew were actually working this event.
Last night, Rich and I went to the Icicle Ridge Winery here in Peshastin for Jazz A MaTazz. It was a catered buffet dinner and then, Jazz by Darren Motambo + more It was an excellent evening.
