We've Got Grapes!
We finally made a trip to Zillah for grapes! Everything has been a bit delayed this year. Actually, I think that every year but it really is delayed this year. It's the anticipation for it all to get started, it seems this time of year rolls around and I can't wait to take the first trip to Eastern Washington. Ask me in a few trips how I feel about it... We now have Syrah underway, just one ton so just a single bin right now but we are receiving emails of other grapes ripening as well. These are the smallest Syrah grapes I've ever seen, should be very concentrated wine. If you want to see what it looks like while it is fermenting join us here on the weekends for a little tasting and wine making. We are always open 2 to 5 Saturdays and Sundays.

Upcoming Events
We have a few things going on outside the winery, but the big thing coming up right now at the winery is the Prisoner Release which is set for November 20th. I get more excited about this every year. It is so fun and such a wonderful party that we already have people calling to ask when it is. It is going to be bigger than ever before. And all those Prisoners? They are really behaving themselves and I am certain they will be released for good behavior just in time for their big party.

We will be at Island Lumber on Vashon for their 6th Annual Ladies Night which is Monday November 8th. If you have never been to this, you gotta go, it is a crazy night of price slashing and grabbing good deals! There will be food and we'll be pouring lots of wine!

We'll also be doing an event called the Antiques Quest and Wine at the Glass Museum on October 30th. This is one way to get into the Glass Museum if you've always meant to go but never quite got around to it. Sometimes that's how it happens for me, so if you can relate to this, join me for a bit of wine, music, food, antiques and a wonderful time. To see all the events we'll be hosting or attending, just visit our website at http://www.palousewinery.com/.

I hope this fall season finds you all well, and at some point in time, finds you at Palouse Winery.

Cheers!
Linda
