Wine Your Way Through Lake Chelan

...it’s the perfect time to make a pilgrimage east to the latest Washington wine Mecca: the Lake Chelan Valley to do a little fall wine tasting.

How many licks does it take to break a wine bottle?

Twenty-nine (give or take a whack). We’ve all been creative with smuggling a bottle or two of wine in our suitcases before. But there is always that split second of panic when you gather your luggage at baggage claim…did it or didn’t it [make it]?

Maryhill or Bust….

It’s finally summer and time to capitalize on the reason why we suffer the winters here year after year. Washington State still takes me breathe away, even after 11 years.
