The Wine Knows

When wine tasting in the Yakima Valley, there are two wineries one really should not miss. Wineglass Cellars (Zillah) and Windy Point (Wapato) not only produce a very nice array of quality wines but always make the tasting experience a true treat. The owners, who are also the wine makers, work in their own tasting rooms and are enthusiastic about talking about their products and making sure the visitor enjoys their experience. Unfortunately, as this area has grown, not all the wineries of the Valley provide positive customer service and some can be outright haughty.

Please treat yourself and partake in any food event either of these two engage in. We recently purchased a gourmet dinner at an auction that took place in Windy Point's gorgeous tasting room overlooking their vineyards. Owners Mike and Liz Stepniewski along with David and Linda Lowe (owners of Wineglass Cellars) prepared a multi-course meal to die for in Windy Point's full professional kitchen. Keep an eye on their web sites for special food/cooking events. You won't be disappointed!
