Over the past couple of weekends, we have visited wineries that we first met last summer from The Dalles. Each is quite a drive, but the wine is fantastic and we get a case price break as members of their wine club.
In July, we drove to Maryhill Winery in Goldendale, WA. Situated on the bluffs above the Columbia River, it has a commanding view. Deb tasted their whites and Jim snifeed each one (he was driving). Came home with rosé of sangiovese, chardonnay, petit verdot and sangiovese.
Earlier this month, we visited Hood Crest winery in the Mt Hood fruit loop. Deb tasted white and rose, with Jim again driving/ sniffing, and a little bit of sangiovese. Left with sangiovese, chardonnay and rosé, with a tummy full of pizza and a cheese plate.
Before coming back, we had to find fruit. After all, we’re in the fruit loop, right? We went to Pearl’s market and bought cherries and peaches. Lots of fruit still on the trees.
