Grape Cup Seattle

Nearly a month ago, I fought the grueling Cascadian passes from my village of Manson to the end of the world that is Seattle just to share my wine at the annual Grape Cup hosted by Seattle Uncorked. A kickoff to the college football season, Grape Cup is a showdown of UW Huskies versus WSU Cougars all in the name of our philanthropic endeavors sponsoring the Washington State Farmworker Housing Trust.

Always down for some fun alum rivalry, I donned the purple and gold and got my sorority girl on.

Go Dawgs

It was a long and fearsome battle as we duked it out over four quarters. The judges did an amazing job staying unbiased and in the end it was so close.

Zebra Winos

Total for Referee scoring: Cougars beat Huskies by half a point. But owing to our supporter’s undying devotion the Huskies won fan favorite. Total for People’s Choice scoring: Huskies beat the Cougs by 1 point. Sounds like if you do a little math, the Huskies won the overall evening too. Oh oh, raise the WOOF! Go Dawgs!
