'The Fabulous Five'

The adventure began as the five of us piled in the car and headed North. Even though we weren’t exactly sure what was in store for us that evening, it didn’t seem to matter as laughter and ongoing chatter filled the car. You know how it is when a group of gals get together. It was our monthly ‘Girls Night’ that we all looked forward to immensely.

We arrived at the Manila Bay Cafe in Dayton for dinner. We sat at a round table in the quaint café which made it more intimate. Our appetizer was the Helix 2003 Pomatia, mmmm, need I say more? For a $20 bottle of wine, I have to say ...........READ MORE

Awesome Walla Walla Wine on a Beer Budget

Awesome Wine on a Beer Budget
Well it seems everyone is on a budget these days. If you were thinking about not giving that bottle of wine to the host of your Thanksgiving Day dinner, think again. I’ve compiled a list of wine Walla Walla Wine Cellar offers that are excellent and under $20. Seriously, you can’t go wrong here and you won’t look like a schmuck when you arrive at your Turkey Day dinner.
Depending on the type of entrée to be served, usually a white wine or rosé goes best with turkey or a lighter flavored meal:
Boomtown Chardonnay
Charles Smith Holy Cow Chardonnay
DaMa Riesling
JLC The Muse Rosé
Trio Vintners Trés Rosé
If you are having a beef entrée or heavier flavored meal try any of these:
Boomtown Merlot
Boomtown Syrah
Charles Smith Holy Cow Merlot
Helix Pomatia
Mannina Cellars Cali
Or, if you are not sure what is going to being served, just buy your favorite. The host will be delighted that you are sharing “your” favorite with them. Cheers!

Intriguing Walla Walla Wine Finds

So… I’ve decided that I want to be one of those people. The people that get to sit down and decide on the name of the wineries next release.

I absolutely love the names that are created to identify some of these wines today. Seriously where do they come from? Yes, some are obvious by using the varietal as a description, but others? Come on. Cowgirl Cab by DaMa, I love it! I had a friend who rides horses call the other day and wants a case just because of the name. She hasn’t even tasted it. And what about Kung Fu Girl? Will this wine really kick your ass or it could be a great gift to someone you need to make a point to? How about Motor City Kitty by K Vintners? This wine has had so many blogs and reviews just based on the name alone. And it would be a great gift for a cat lover. K Vintners also offers “Phil Lane” instead of memory lane. Hmmmm, where is Phil Lane? But yes, I want this job.

And hopefully it will run in line with the label designing. Wow, have you seen some of these labels? Amazing! I think my latest favorite is the Trio Vintners Sangiovese. Absolutely breathtaking label. I would have this bottle in my house just to be able to look at it every day. What about DaMa Cabernet very elegant, would look great in my red kitchen too. And who can’t laugh at the simplicity of the Holy Cow Merlot, not to mention it’s great tasting wine for the price.


So, I guess there is something to be said about a name and a face regarding first impressions.
Seriously, any openings out there??
