  Transport yourself to Wine Country-Lake Chelan The beautiful Lake Chelan Wine region offers so many options for grape varietals, views, and food.  Our recent visit there, the first part of October, greeted us with crisp fall air, blue sky, and breathtaking lake scenery. When arriving in Chelan, we made our first stop for lunch and wine tasting at Tsilliam Cellars.  Their spectacular and elegant wine selection along with their menu options make this a great way to kick off our weekend. Mellisoni Vineyards has a breathtaking view to sit and enjoy their lineup of complex varietals, including sparkling, white, rose’ and reds.

Another Year…….. The vines are now asleep; the wine is aging in the barrels and we gather with family and friends to celebrate the holiday season and the end of 2018. It has been another fantastic year for discovering new wines and revisiting old favorites.   Our busy lives kept us mostly in Oregon and Washington this year but its amazing what you can find in your own neighborhood. Palouse Winery - Vashon Island, Washington was a great find.   On our way to a friend’s wedding, we stopped for a quick sample and discovered a complete line of beautiful crafted wines.   We took the opportunity to come back on another day and experience the full line up.   If you have an opportunity to visit Vashon Island you must stop and visit Palouse. Denise discovered Olalla Winery in Olalla, Washington.   This is a family operated winery that has become a local gem.   Evenings of music out on the lawn, while sipping great wine and nibbling on your favori...
