This weekend was super fun. We went up to Woodinville, which is a mere 30 minute drive from the city (and a beautiful drive at that). This town is a winery mecca. Me, Brian, and some of his friends from school and their wives went to Chateau Ste. Michelle, a lovely little place full of grape juice, green grass, and these guys:
We went on a tour of the winery, learned about the whole process, and then tried 3 different wines! All for $0. Good investment. After we explored, we went down the road to the Red Hook brewery, just to spice things up a bit. Brian and I are trying to be able to appreciate beer a bit more, so this was a good start. If you haven't tried Red Hook's Copper Hook beer, you are truly missing out. Go buy some. They are based here, but distribute all over the country. We also went on a tour there, tried 5 beers, and went home with a baby Red Hook glass! All for $1. Not too shabby.
Needless to say, if you come to visit us, we will have to drive up to Woodinville to explore these impressive alcohol-making arts. (Yes, I will continue to try to lure you all to the Emerald City, as if our mere presence isn't enough)
