Date

Yesterday we had a date.... A real date all day long! Stacy bought a wine tour at Covington Cellars so we headed up to Woodinville for some wine tasting, good food, and lots of learning about the process of making wines. The girls stayed home with grandma and mama and daddy got to totally relax.



We got to see the wine barrels and sampled a wine that was about to go to bottle! YUM


There were beautiful tables set up for us in the wine barrel room after our tour


The steel canisters where the wine goes after the barrels...I never knew how different the process was to make a red or white wine. We loved how knowledgeable the owner was and enjoyed listening to how passionate he was about making wine!


Our food pairings with 4 more wine samples. The coconut curry soup was DIVINE! Not to mention the gorgonzola almond crusted truffle...WOW!


They are putting out a cookbook soon with many of their recipes and how to pair different wines with different foods....it may be on my list of books to buy!


Happy...after good food, good wine, and good company.



"Chance"...one of their winery dogs. He was super sweet and enjoyed getting his picture taken



Just a shot of the wine bar...what fun day!!!
