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
