Today’s post is part of a series featuring the Women of Washington Wine. In an industry once dominated by men, more and more women are joining the ranks as winery owners, vineyard owners, and winemakers. Being a woman myself, I am fascinated by these women and what they have done and continue to do. Through this series, I hope to introduce you to some of the brightest female faces in the Washington wine industry. Kathy Johanson and Stacy Lill founded O Wines in 2006.

In between the visit to Sculpterra Winery and the tour of the new winery at Vines on the Marycrest , there was Villicana Winery where we visited our old friends Monica and Alex Villicana. And yes, ladies, Alex is still really cute, and for the fellas, Monica is still hot (this is according to the Wineaux Guy, lol).  And they’re both beautiful, warm, friendly, and have luscious wines.  Of course I had to jump into one of my favorites (and by now famous), Villicana Vin Rosé.

In which I gig and consume media. Friday night I waited for nearly an hour for my bro to finish an instance in WoW, then we went to Rosita’s for dinner. Mmm, chile rellenos! I went to bed early Friday night because I was tired from going out Wednesday and Thursday. Saturday I woke up at nine. It really pissed me off, so I went back to sleep until eleven. I got my nails done Saturday afternoon. (My nail tech lady told me my skin looked bad and that I needed to cut back on the caffeine and cigs and drink more water.

The Douro valley is in the Nature Reserve List for the New 7 Wonders.

You will find hints from why the Douro valley is such a special place from the description written at New 7 Wonders.

Mendocino annual music festival markets itself as “Music on the Edge of the World.” It’s not only music, but also pretty much everything else here that is on the edge. Art gallery-rich Main Street is paralleled by an open shoreline of the Headlands State Park, where seagulls are feeding on restaurant leftovers, and arguing sea lions are only interrupted by passing cormorants and pelicans. Blooming succulents on the dunes and wind-twisted wild cypresses are a part of the town as much as artisan bakeries and designer coffee houses.

Wandering alone on the grounds of the Busty Riding Academy, the incredibly stacked Terry Nova is curious about one of the buildings. She carefully makes her way down the stairs and turns the corner when she hears a noise. She spies on the stable man taking bottles off a shelf and wrapping them in a sheet. He turns to leave and walks right into her. She likes what she sees and hits on him right then and there. And so does he. It’s quiet in this dark catacomb. No one knows they’re in there.

There are several different means to store your wine though the wine cellar is the most popular option. Typically, a wine cellar is some kind of room or in very few instances a cabinet in which it is possible to store as well as protect your bottles of wine. Any wine cellar can be of a size that suits your needs and it will cost differently depending on how much protection you need for storing your wines in the safest manner possible and also on the size of the cellar.

It has recently come to our attention that people planning to setup wine retail outlets in basements below their main shops may run afoul of the local government. This state law seems strange at the very least.
