Suzi made arrangements for us all to meet Friday night to go wine tasting at the new Rainier View Winery in Graham.
We arrived a bit late, however we were still able to sit and relax with Ron/Suzi and Darin/Denice. A good time was had by all. We tasted some very different wines. Joelle and Clay are the owners.. They explained to us that they made their wines the European way. Explaining that there aren't nearly the preservatives in their “fruit” wines and there is more fruit. These wines were not at all the traditional tastes we are used to here in the USA. They had a chardonnay and Malbec, again not the traditional tastes. However they were quite nice and very refreshing. There was also some fruity wines such as Blueberry and a lovely Strawberry as well as a Rasberry.. All were delightful. The owners Joelle and Clay were so kind and gave us lots of information about the way they make their wine. Due to us being late on arrival the owners were gracious and allowed us extra time past their closing hour of 7pm, this lovely Friday evening…
After our wine adventure, we ventured out to the Kapowsin Tavern in Kapowsin (imagine that one??), where we had some pizza and had a few glasses of beer. We all had a great time..
After dinner we drove over to see Ian’s (Denice’s son) new home. Very nice home and lots of room!! We didn’t stay long as we were so late in getting over there. Soon we were on our way home.
A great day!!
Today Rick & Lynn left for their long motorcycle ride to South Dakota to Mt Rushmore! Have a great ride and a wonderful adventure!!!
