Locati Tasting Room

Well kids, here we are in Walla Walla at the Marcus Whitman hotel. Nice place. Grand in the old school way. And there are three tasting rooms right there in the building. I’d maxed out at this point. I couldn’t tell you a damn thing about their wines, but they were friendly and conveniently located! Walla Walla has a nice historic downtown.  However, they mostly roll up the sidewalks early.  Most of the restaurants close by 9.  Pretty good eats though, you won’t go hungry here.  And we managed to find some Cuban salsa before we retreated to the hotel.

Three Rivers

Time is relative, lunchtime doubly so.  Here’s a hint for you — carry your own snacks.  Great patio here at Three Rivers.  Can’t remember a dang thing about their wines, but we sure had a nice time snacking down.  They are also clever enough to turn their lawn into a golf course.  Win!

Cougar Crest

Slow service, miserly pours, indifferent product and no breadsticks. Meh. However …. Cheese in a can.

Mmmmm can cheese. How do they milk the cougars?

Well, our review of this place is certainly skewed by the above average quality of the previous winery stop. The bar had been raised.

Waterbrook

FaFancy-schmancy! The nicest building of the tour so far. Looks like a great place to have an event. There was a tragedy though. We were playing frisbee with the wine doggie and gad! I threw the dang thing into the pond by mistake! Very very sad doggie.
This place will also fill your wine growler.
