At 10:45 we, along with Jeff and Anita, were picked up by Gabe from Imbibe Wine to begin our tour. First stop was Dunham Cellars, where we tasted six wines and added four bottles to the case. Up second was Basel Cellars, one of our very favorite, where we tasted six and added two more bottles. Tasting and lunch was at Amavi Cellars. Lunch was outstanding, with a various meats and cheeses, fruit, pickles, grapes, crackers and more. Two more bottles.

Gifford Harlingen was our fourth stop and after learning all about corks we added another bottle. Valdemare Estates was an unplanned stop, but that didn’t stop use from adding another bottle. Last of our visits was Waterbrook Winery where two bottles filled out the case. All in all, a great day of wine tasting. But what made the day special was our guide Gabe. An outstanding young man born and raised in Walla Walla, who filled us in on a little history during the drives between wineries. By the end of the day we had learned much of his life’s history, including the date he had that night, he was going to cook dinner, with a nurse he had never met in person. He made the day a lot of fun.
For dinner we split a pizza and called it a day.
Tomorrow we will hit a few more wineries and then explore downtown Walla Walla.
