What a wonderful day. I slept in, the sun was shining, coffee was ready when I woke up and we had 2 tastings scheduled, heaven.
We picked up 4 bottles from Chateau Ste. Michelle and hung out to taste but we didn’t go over to the retail side because there was a concert today, which I would have known if I had checked our events page, and it was crowded. I would have loved to go to the concert but we didn’t buy tickets in time and the show sold out. If anyone went to Crosby Stills and Nash tonight let me know how the show was.
When we left the winery we needed a bite to eat so we hit Barbecue Pete’s in Kent on our way home. The special today was baby back ribs. I love food you can eat with your hands. They were cooked to perfection, the meat fell off the bone, great flavor, great sauce. Look for them every year at the Puyallup Fair, in Puyallup Washington or at their Kent Washington location.
Of course, I got barbecue sauce on my shirt so we had to stop by home to change. Then it was off to WineStyles in Federal Way for the members pick up and tasting. The event started at 5:00, we arrived about 5:25 and the back area was already full. As with most wine events the people were wonderful and we were able to squeeze in. We tasted several selections and were treated to a glass of 2006 Goose Ridge Vineyards Vireo (Thanks Scott, our treat next time). I loved the earthy nose and flavor, we bought a bottle to enjoy later.
The day lived up to its promise, it makes me excited about what tomorrow will bring.
As always,
Love, Laugh, Learn… LIVE!
