Blink and suddenly you go from "newly weds" to 10-years and 2 kids!
I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Two other couples we are close friends with also celebrate their 10th anniversaries this year - Holly and Michael the same weekend as ours and Derek and Michelle later in the summer.
Thanks to Derek and Michelle's great idea, we got together and went to the Spring Barrel Tasting event in Yakima. While Yakima itself didn't impress me (did you know there's nothing to do there in the evenings? Not that we found anyway), we had a blast and I came home feeling like the inside of an old oak barrel.
I owe a more detailed entry of what we liked, what we didn't - we were surprised to find that many of the small boutique wineries with wines in the $25-$35 range weren't necessarily the most enjoyable. One of group's favorites stops was the massive Terra Blanca - with wines that were in the $10 range, a wide variety and an awesome destination.
Wineries we visited (in order):
- The Tasting Room (NHV, Wildrige, Harlequin)
- Donitelia
- Upland Estates
- Tapteil
- Hightower Cellars
- Terra Blanca
- Airfield Estates
- Thurston Wolfe Winery
- Agate Field Winery
- Two Mountain Winery
- Wineglass Cellars
- Sagelands
I owe a much longer post and need to upload pictures. Suffice it to say, we tasted too much, ate too much and bought too much. But, good times, good friends, good wine. Great weekend.
