Walla Walla Wine Tasting at McCall Hall

Another great year of wine is upon us and Denise and I kicked it off by attending the “Walla Walla Wine Tasting at McCall Hall” on Monday evening (February 8^th).  This was our first time attending this event and it did not disappoint.

Forty-five wineries were pouring.  We sampled a few old favorites but enjoyed new ones we had never tried before. 

Five Star Cellars – 2011 Syrah – I tried this Syrah with duck and it was fantastic.  Food really brought out the flavors.

Foundry Vineyards – 2013 Chardonnay – This chardonnay was done in steel.  The fruit really shines.

Henry Earl Estates – 2012 Malbec – Very unusual Malbec.  Light with little to no tannins.

Kerloo Cellars – 2013 Les Collines Syrah – Great Syrah!  Can’t wait to visit them.

Tempus Cellars – 2013 Evergreen Vineyard Riesling – A nice refreshing Riesling.  Not too sweet but also not dry, just right!

These are just a few of the wineries we tasted at the event. I’m looking forward to attending this event again next year.  It was worth the ticket price and coming out on a work night.  Cheers! LaDonna
