Snohomish Wine Walk 9.14.19

Had a great night at the Snohomish Wine Walk last night pouring with Jim VanCamp from https://www.vancampcellars.com/

It was a last minute addition for me, so I was not prepared to even go to the Walk. We stopped by VanCamp to have a glass and he was packing up to go, so I asked if he needed help… he did, so I poured with him.

Met a ton of people, talked about wine with everyone. Had a lot of fun.

Next time I will try and make sure I have cards to give out so we can do Winery Meetups in the future!

THANK YOU Jim for letting me help you!

Hit Them All Quest in Woodinville Wine Country

So I have said for about 4 years now that I hit every winery in Woodinville atleast once per year… Likely true, or 95% true ?

I am sure I have missed someone in this Hit Them All quest.

So I started a new quest (modified quest) in July 2019. I picked a Wine District, picked a starting point and am systematically working through Woodinville, logging every winery as I do it. Hoping to set up my own interactive map of the areas so that wineries could be clicked on taking you to my write up and links to their pages, or something. Still a lot to work out on how I do that.

What I will have, eventually, is my tasting notes and thoughts about the wineries. I have hit about 20 so far, trying to do 3-5 a weekend, at least 10 a month, but as winter comes, I will step it up.

So I started with Artisan Hill at the bottom and am currently working up the hill. This weekend, I made it to the main complex in Artisan Hill, the top of the hill. How to work through those. After that, Warehouse is next, satrting at the bottom of the hill and working up.

That is my plan, my Quest for Woodinville in 2019/2020 – Make sure I Hit Them All.

What are your favourite wineries in Woodinville? Lets connect and hit some together!
