Today’s big (and only) adventure after our 11am brunch is a trip to visit the Mount Baker Winery where Rich’s father works in sales.
The interesting thing about this winery is that they are working with a lot of “minor” grapes like Tempranillo, Malbec, Viognier,Muller Thurgau and some white varieties suited to Western Washington.
We ended up tasting well over a half a dozen of their 25+ varieties — after a nice walking tour of the operation. It was nice to have a private tour with someone who really knew the wines and the history of their grape choices.
Here is a shot of the winery:
And here is the one bottle that I bought:
Dinner tonight was pork chops on the grill… after a visit from maintenance to put a new ignitor in our BBQ. Add a salad, some wine, some good conversation.
Ross got here around nine for leftovers.
A little hottub time and off to bed.
