Opening SAGGI November of 2011 was my first time to Walla Walla Washington and I was going for Fall Release. I fell in love with Walla Walla; the architecture of the buildings in town, the vineyards in their fall colors and the wine. Oh how I fell in love with the wines from Walla Walla. I just opened a bottle of SAGGI 2008 from Long Shadows Winery that I purchased on this trip. SAGGI is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Syrah. What a beautiful blend, so silky smooth and delicate in flavor. I was saving it for a dinner I thought would do it justice, a meal my kids requested, “Moms Lasagna”. I served with a crusty French bread with seasoned olive oil for dipping….. I wish I had a red check table cloth and drippy candles on the table to complete the mood. If you go to Walla Walla put Long Shadows on your list of places to visit. I recommend trying some of their other wines, Sequel and Feather are couple more of my favorites. I will be making a return trip
