Tomorrow (Friday April 29th from 6-8pm), at Wine World Warehouse in the University District of Seattle I will be pouring the largest selection of My Derby Wife wines ever.

Cheers, WineGirl PS: Yvette, hope your pedicure survived the...

We’re getting prepared to bottle our 2008 reds and 2009 whites soon. That means some filtering is in order for the ’09 Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer (that’s French for Gewürztraminer). WineGirl and her helper, Delice, rolled out the small but mighty plate filter for some action. It had been in the closet for a while, but performed its duties very well....
