Back home!


We strolled back into town today around 4 PM from our Walla Walla tour. I had a fantastic time with the group and I hope that everybody else had a great time, too.

Here's a brief recap of our weekend:
Friday:
Dinner at Grapefields, post-funct at The Marcus Whitman.

Saturday:
Cellar tour included visits to Tamarack, Dunham, Syzygy, BradenView, K Vintners, Nicholas Cole, Yellow Hawk, Rulo, and Beresan. Dinner at Whitehouse-Crawford was delicious as always.

Sunday:
Some of us experienced a four-year vertical of Seven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon before hitting L'Ecole NÂș 41 on the way back home.

We booked our rooms for next year's Holiday Barrel Tasting Weekend. I was amazed when we check into our hotel on Friday that they were already booked for 2007's event! Fortunately we were able to make a reservation today for another hotel in the area.

To everyone that was in attendance: THANK YOU so much for a great time and for coming. Walla Walla is a great place to share with other people and the more in the group, the bigger the dynamic and more fun had by all!

Cheers!

Walla Walla weekend -- we're here!

I'm really inebriated at the moment so I'll refrain from blogging too much. You know me: with a little liquid encouragement I'll pretty much say anything. We're over in Walla Walla for the Holiday Barrel Tasting Weekend. There is a big group of us and we just came back from dinner at Grapefields Wine Bar. With us (Anna, Marni, and myself) is Amanda, Annemarie, Cindy, Debra, and Kyle. We're going to take this town by storm this weekend. What would Samuel Jackson say about us this weekend? "There are motherfucking lushes in this motherfucking town." We're going to have such a blast. Watch out, people. You won't know what hit you.

Peace out, bitches.
