If you have nothing going on Fourth of July get on out to Husum for the Husum parade and the Husum Day .1k fun run. $20 gets you the official fun run tshirt and hotdogs at Hooba's following the event.
The Wind River Golf Scramble is nearly full. There might be room for one or two more teams. If you're boring don't bother. This event is a bit more casual than your normal golf event and it's only for fun people.
I'm not the bragging type but Wind River Cellars did win six medals at the Washington State Fair. If I were the bragging type I would post pictures of myself wearing the six medals around my neck while walking around the grocery store. Six of them can get a bit heavy. I almost wish that I would have won only five. That way my neck wouldn't hurt as much. Unfortunately, I won six and my neck is getting really sore. Those wineries who didn't win any medals sure are lucky. I'll bet that their necks don't hurt at all.
We've had tons of fun people visit the tasting room in the last several weeks and I'm hoping that some of them email me some pictures to post.

Stay Classy, Husum!
Our annual "Running with the Bulls: A Celebration of Tempranillo" is coming up and this year we are going in a different direction with it. Kris has invited other wineries to pour their Tempranillos in addition to ours, which will give you a great opportunity to taste several side by side. Check out the website or call for more information.
I hate to beat a dead horse, but I must remind you once again that if you're the golfing sort, our scramble is quickly approaching and is nearly full. It's first come first serve, so if you show up the day of the event wanting to participate you'll be out of luck, kind of like a dead horse. Club members get $10 off the price which includes nine holes, cart, wine tasting and prime rib dinner. Email

By the way, it you're out and about in the area and are looking for a place to go for lunch or dinner, try the new Viento. They do a great job with two of my favorite food groups, Burgers and steaks. I promise they'll treat you like they're glad you came in. Tonight we will be hosting the staff of another one of my favorite local restaurants, Solstice. Aaron is taking his crew white water rafting and then bringing them up for dinner. Don't worry, I'm not cooking.
Speaking of local restaurants, the new brewery in White Salmon will be opening soon. It's my understanding that they will be producing a beverage called "beer". I'm not familiar with this beverage but Lap Dance Jon tells me it can be very refreshing and flavorful. My friend Doug is heading this brewery adventure and he appears to know what he's doing. If you see me there will you please give me a ride home?
You're always on tap, Husum!
