WgotW – Month of October
Sorry guys, I fell behind on the WgotW posts as the summer just got too busy to write. But just today, I felt the inspiration to write as the doldrums of harvest or un-harvest continue. This post of the WineGirl of the Week actually applies to the whole month. Yes, you fine ladies get the whole month. You can split it up and each take a week if you like, but my Mom gets her birthday week coming up, ’cause it’s a big one! (Don’t worry, Ma, you’ll always be the most beautiful person in my life.) From left to right above, we have me mum Kathy, and her...

We have this pair of Wellies that seems to belong to no one, yet fits everyone. That’s why we keep ‘em around. Well, when we had yet to finish bottling our Gewurztraminer and two of these pulled up, we were still in our boots! The WineGirl of the Week is Yvette, who took a shine to our misfit boots. Cheers, WineGirl PS: Yvette, hope your pedicure survived the...

I miss roller derby. I miss the creativity, the entrepreneurial, grassroots, DIY spirit. I miss the positive energy, the support, the exercise. I miss the girls, my best friends, my derby wives and team. And yes, I miss taking girls out. I miss that perfect hit that sends Valtron 3000 out of bounds. I miss everything… everything but the knee injuries. So, all I have now is My Derby Wife Merlot and the amazing wine guests who stroll in and recount their personal experiences with derby. This week, in walked a colleague of the best co-cappie I ever had Carmen Getsome. It was such a...

Last week I had the pleasure of sharing my wines and having a phenomenal chat with the owners of a small business in an industry that I consider to be the perfect compliment to the wine industry: COFFEE. Last week owners of San Diego’s The West Bean coffee roasters came in to The Blending Room try some wines. Friends from left to right below Paul, Julie, Brooke and Dan stopped in on a sweet Lake Chelan vacation for a little wine tasting. I wish you all the best guys! I find it so inspiring and such a treat to share ideas with fellow...

When it comes to friends, WineGirl is luckier than all this week. Our special featured WineGirl of the Week is a selfless, long-time friend of Jonathan and Angela, who came to help get the decor in top shape for our most recent Grand Opening and Release Party! Brittany is by far one of the most genuine people I know working into the whee hours stuffing wine bottles with little lights for our new over-the-bar track lighting. Thanks Brit the finished project is amazing and we couldn’t do it without your...

As the end of the month nears, we add the last WgotW post to July with a second visit from three couples converging on Manson, Washington from all over the globe and seeking shelter from our most recent torrential downpour and thunderstorm. The night held sporadic conversation from stories of lightning strikes to old man smells and butterfly bushes. There may even have been an offer to sell a used crusher/destemmer from the Boeing Wine Clubs’ stock of equipment. But Jim held the stage waxing poetic with the quote of the evening: “We’d give up moonshine for...
