Friday September 17, 2010 - Our Washington State wine tasting begins in earnest. Our friends arrived around noon and we had lunch at Wine O’Clock, tasted wines from Bunnell Family Cellars, Olsen Estates, Airfield Estates, Willow Crest, Coyote Canyon and Apex Cellars. For dinner we ate at Picazo 7Seventeen, historical downtown Prosser. Good Times…
Saturday September 18, 2010 - Great day of tasting. Made out way to the Red Mountain AVA. First tasting was at Terra Blanca Winery, then lunch at Col Solare. Next we tasted wines from Tapleil Wines, and then to Hightower Cellars were they were crushing Merlot!!!!!! From Hightower we stopped at Hedges Family Estates were the wine maker Pete Hedges was on hand. Fidelitas was our next stop. Our last stop was at Kiona Vineyard Winery, one of the oldest vines on Red Mountain. Dinner at Tuscany Rustic Italian Bistro, good to see Susanne, Jessie and yes Malone again.
Sunday September 19, 2010 – What a day, are first stop of the day was Columbia Crest. No, they do not have any of their Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley Reserve 2005 Wine Spectator number one wine of the year. They do however have their 2000 through 2004 for sale. We had a wonderful picnic at Columbia Crest, we were able to use the large table in their estate, thank you Llinda. Three hours later we founder are way back to Prosser. Tasted wine at Heaven’s Cave Cellars and ended our day at Alexandria Nicole Cellars, thanks Theron.
