Walla Walla Wine Tour



We started the week of Thanksgiving off with some wine tasting in Walla Walla, WA. Our friend Dennis & Stephan's previous boss invited us down to stay with him & his girlfriend Lisa. Dennis has always been such a gracious host & our time in Walla Walla with him was no exception. He realized a dream of his & started his own vineyard 3 years ago & bought a fabulous home to stay at while he is in town.
Walla Walla has developed a name for itself among wine aficionados. There are now close to 100 wineries in this darling little town. This was our second time doing a wine tasting tour. We were able to leave for wine tasting from Dennis's house by 4 wheeler due to the wonderful location of his house. I must say I don't know much about wine, but that doesn't matter. We had so much fun. The crisp air, the 4 wheeler ride, being surrounded by vineyards, the mouth watering dinner, catching up with Dennis & Lisa, and being there for Dennis's first tasting of his Cabernet Sauvignon all made for such a memorable mini vacation. Thanks to Dennis & Lisa for hosting us, we will return the favor once we get you to Whitefish. We look forward to 10.10.2010 in Walla Walla. This may become a new past time of mine.......so fun!
