I've probably done this before as every year my oldest daughter - a special ed teacher, and I visit the winery on spring break. Actually - I grew up in the valley below and all my young life this large house was in view. This was originally Riblets Mansion of the fame - ski/Mt trams world wide, or actually the brother - probably a relative of mine who separated from that rich venture and left his brother holding the bag of money, to wala - invent the square wheeled tractor, really. Anyway fast forward - Arbor Crest, originally fruit farmers in the valley below started a winery, the vineyard along the river of course failed the 1st winter - I believe in the 80's and as usual, I believe someone, children in the family, took it over and then bought this hill top house. Oh yes, the grape vines are just props, they do make some bubbly, but all grapes come out of the track from Walla Walla to Yakima.
Great wines, love their blends, but we had a 2003 Syrah, about $20+ dollars and well worth it until a black fly brought on by the sunshine flew into my daughters wine glass. I'm sure you can Google Arbor Crest if you want more info of our near arrest, as Tuesday we went up with my other daughter, husband and Ava Rose the beautiful grand-daughter who looks like me, but strange they don’t want children or even 2 year olds wondering around the place. Damn unsociable.
Now comes the hard part trying to show a few pixs and Bob still not answering my post about adding Rhubarb leaves into wine, ha ha can you imagine, in a fresh salid?
