WA State Vineyards

Leave a reply

I didn’t think I would say this. I’m having some very fond memories of our trip to the Yakima Valley last year.  We went for a photo project, but we also tasted some great WA State wines.  Highlight of the trip for me was Hedges Winery, they have some absolutely great wines for really good value.  My favorite is the Hedges Family Estate – a wonderful wine for a mere $25/bottle.

Nice wines.  I’ll have some next time I get back to WA State.  This wasn’t taken at Hedges, but at a vineyard just down the road.

Sunset and vineyards and mountains

Hi all – I’m sending this from our new digs (temporary housing) from our new country (way down under).  Couldn’t be more excited to be down here and having new opportunities to travel and take photos.  We (the other half of Paul Rin) have been plotting and scheming on new places to travel.  We are proposing a new project – Beaches of the South Pacific – and yes, that’s just a great reason to get me to more beaches…

Today’s photo goes back to last spring and to Yakima.  We are still unclear on what mountain that is in the distance, but pretty sure it’s Mount Rainier. This photo was taken at about 8:30 PM, as the spring day was winding down.  Looking forward to more very different vineyard lands in the near future.
