Olympic Peninsula Wine and Cheese Tour April 15th.
We loaded up the SUV, 6 women and 1 guy as our driver…..here starts our adventure. I love going out to see the wineries in the Olympic Peninsula. The drive is beautiful and the wine makers are so personable, friendly and down to earth.
We started our day at Fairwinds, they gave us a tasting of their Gewurztraminer 2009. I usually don’t go for the sweet stuff, but this was so light more on the dry side. I purchased their 2002 Merlot and the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2006 Cab/Merlot, these had such beautiful smooth flavor that I can’t wait to open them and pair them up with some delicious food (will tell you later how that turns out).

Camaraderie Winery is a great place to stop if you are on Hwy 101; they have a peaceful surrounding with some wonderful eclectic outdoor conversation areas. I purchased their 2009 Malbec (I am a sucker for a great Malbec) this scored 90 in "The Wine Enthusiast"….yummy!
Continuing along Hwy 101 is Harbinger Winery. They served us some awesome mac and cheese and french onion soup to pair with the wine, talk about comfort. I have many favorites at Harbinger but the one I keep going back for more is their Dynamo Red. This is a great drinking wine for anyone just starting out on their wine adventure and don’t want to start with the stinky stuff, it is a beautiful blend.
