Walla Walla Wining

I spent the weekend in Walla Walla Washington.  I've lived in Seattle for 10 years, and can count the number of times I've been to Eastern Washington with just one hand.  Having grown up in New England, driving in Eastern Washington feels rather alien to me.  I'm just not used to such large open spaces, without trees!

Natascha and I went out there to do some wine-tasting.  We stayed at the Weinhard Hotel which isn't strictly in Walla Walla, but was close enough.  We hit about 4 wineries Friday and again Saturday.  I've now got 2 cases of good wines sitting in my basement.  Now the hard part... letting the best of them age.

Overall a good trip.  Highly recommended, especially in the off season.
