Below is a picture of one of the rooms at the Poverty Bay Wine Festival, held last week. I had a great time meeting tons of new people and tasting a lot of lesser known Washington wines.
This coming weekend I will be pouring wine on Thursday at West Seattle Thriftway. West Seattle Thriftway is actually located in West Seattle. I will also be at the Fremont Wine Warehouse, located in Fremont, on Saturday. FWW is one of my favorite shops anywhere. If you get a chance to swing by either of these places, please do so. I also look forward to post-tasting dinners after each of these events. Stay tuned for announcements regarding Friday. I don't have anything yet but I'm sure something will come up.
For the eighth weekend in a row I will be on the road the following weekend at the Capital Food and Wine Festival in Lacey. There are not many festivals in Washington that are more fun than this one, as it offers lots of wine, lots of food, lots of music and lots of the Devil's beverage, beer.
Check out the Columbia Gorge Winegrowers Association for details on our upcoming "Passport Weekend". Most of the wineries in the area are participating and all are offering great incentives to visit.
I'm going outside to shovel snow for what I believe is the last time this year. Spring is here somewhere, I just have to uncover it.
I miss you Husum!
Joel
