09/04/2026 – We just posted two STELLAR reviews on Trader Joe’s releases.  These are amazing wines!  One is a Sonoma Chardonnay, and the other is a Stags Leap Cab.  On the Trader Joes page. 

08/28/2026 – The Seattle trip was amazing.  We attended the Quilceda Creek open house at the SOMM hotel in Woodinville, Wa.  The Quilceda Creek offerings were amazing.  There were three wines to try and plenty of high-class small bites.  The wine makers mixed and mingled with the club members giving us a chance to ask some technical questions about the wines and their production.  You can see the reviews on the Wine-blog.

On the same day we stopped by DeLille Cellars and tried a wide array of their wines. They are putting out some lovely wines. The hits are listed on the Wine-blog.
