Big happenings here at Wind River Cellars. Monday night was the big Columbia Gorge Winery Association showcase in Portland. Hundreds of attendees had the opportunity to taste wines from most of the gorge wineries. This event was of course, the kick-off to this weekend's Gorge Winery Passport Weekend. Contact any of us for details.
I will be pouring wine at one of my favorite wine festivals, the Capital Food & Wine in Lacey. I'm not sure why they call it the Capital. Shouldn't they call it the Lacey? Anyway, if you go you will see dozens and dozens of wineries, lots of live music and several breweries. A brewery is like a winery only they make what we call "beer" instead of wine. Beer is usually served cold and I understand that it can be quite refreshing. I look forward to tasting it.
The tasting room is getting busier by the day. Below is a picture of some of the visitors we had last weekend. They were from Olympia, home of the real capital. They will be at the festival this weekend even though Lacey is a fraud.
Check the website for more upcoming events. I'll let you know next week what I think about this whole beer thing.
Keep it real, Husum!
