We had the most wonderful time this weekend at the 2015 Leavenworth Wine Walk and have decided to make this a yearly event!
Weather was beautiful….over 90 degrees and it actually wasn’t too crowded.
The wine walk was from 12 pm to 6 pm ….. Needless to say we got pretty toasty….and it wasn’t from the weather!
Lots of wine, ciders and perrys to taste…so much so that we really didn’t have time to shop in all of the little stores.
I am a white/sweet wine/cider drinker so the reds just didn’t do it for me……however there was PLENTY of non-reds to sample!!
Highlights (otherwise known as purchases!!)
The Gewurztraminers as always were wonderful.
We also learned a new way to remember the German name….something about hurts his weiner…..and yea the more we drank the more we called it that and the funnier it became *snort*
Sunshine Sangria
I love this one. It just screams sweet goodness
Engelwein
Perfect for the holidays!!!! We had it heated….I’ve never had warm wine before but I loved it!!
Cranberry Wine – YES YES YES Perfect for the holidays
Raspberry Wine (not the dessert wine)….another big YES
My favorite…….Sweet (of course!!)
Washington State Countryside Ciders
These ciders are NON alcoholic!!
They are truly a gourmet cider and were extremely wonderful!
My favorite was the Old World Spice. Add a shot of Fireball Whiskey and you have a mouthful of holiday! When I order the Spice cider I will also try the huckleberry and raspberry
I have never seen so many different kinds of olive oils and balsamic vinegar in one place….and sample I did!
One of many favorites was the Peach Balsamic Vinegar and when I need to reorder this I will be ordering several more as well!
I am so looking forward to next year’s Leavenworth Wine Walk!
