Walla Walla


 Home less than 24 hours and it's off to Walla Walla, where I am judging this weekend. It is a premier wine growing area in Eastern Washington, famous for good red wines, excellent restaurants and a dynamic downtown area. We visied several tasting rooms both downtown and on the outskirts of town, and brought a selection of wine home to enjoy over the next few months

A Spanish Vineyard - Casa Felicino

It was a fairly easy weekend of judging, just 60 dogs the first day and then 80 the second. We enjoyed some great restaurants - Saffron, East Fork Grill & Brasserie 4. Then stopped in Richland WA on our way home and stayed at the Courtyard, which was set on a spectular location, on a marina
we then went to Bonefish Grill for dinner and had some wonderful Halibut and a bottle of superb Sauvignon Blanc from NZ - Infamous Goose
 - then collected some local fresh Asparagus the next morning, before heading for home. Now home for a week before going to Austria....
