I've always had a penchant for wine. The complexity of its flavors, the way it pairs with various dishes, and the sense of sophistication it brings to any occasion have drawn me in time and time again. But, tucked away in the corners of my beverage preferences, there's another love I've nurtured over the years, hard cider.
As the late summer days started to blend into the early hints of fall, I made a conscious decision to unplug from almost all social media and focus on what truly matters in life—my family. It all began with a weekend getaway to #OlympicNationalPark , a place where nature's beauty and the echoes of time intertwined seamlessly. Our retreat led us to the historic #LakeQuinaultLodge , a charming gem that has stood proudly since 1926.
Wrapping up Washington Wine Month with a Woodinville Winery Introduction - @alluviumcellars
Nestled in Paso Robles, California, @broadsidewine embodies the region's rich winemaking heritage. Founded in 2002 by Brian and Stephanie Terrizzi, this winery not only produces outstanding wines but also champions sustainability and authenticity.
The history of Colorado's wine production is a tale of resilience and transformation. Dating back to the late 1800s, the state's viticultural efforts faced challenges ranging from Prohibition to harsh climate conditions. However, the modern era has seen a remarkable resurgence.
During my recent trip to #WallaWalla I had the chance to chat and do a wine tasting with Co-Owner and winemaker David Hess of the new winery, Turtle.
