It's nice to see that the price of gas isn't keeping you all away. This past weekend reminded me of what summer is like around here as we hosted what seemed like millions of visitors. I enjoyed meeting all of you who attended Zena's 40th birthday party on Sunday.
Last week I briefly mentioned what a great time I had pouring wine at Vino Bello, in Burien. This wine bar isn't the usual stuffy wine bar that thinks jazz is the only music that goes well with wine. Michelle and her staff are a lot of fun and I look forward to many returns.
2007 Riesling is now available and if you can see your face in the group photo from harvest party (mid-October blog entry) I will give you an additional 10% off on a case purchase. Get it while it's here.
I've had so many visitors this past week that It's difficult to pick favorites. The nice couple from New Jersey come to mind, as do the kayakers from Portland. Dee Dee from Beaverton and Jan from Puyallup always bring a good time also.
It's never too early to book your rafting trip on the White Salmon. Go to
http://www.riverdrifters.net or
http://zooraft.com. Both of these companies do an excellent job and they are both just minutes from our tasting room.
The Wind River Cellars Golf Scramble will be held July 19th. Several teams have already signed up and last year nearly every player went home with a prize. If you would like to be on my team you will be subjected to foul language, club throwing and superhuman beer consumption. Perhaps this is why I don't have a team yet.
I can always play with myself, Husum!
