Winery Rating

Last week we got a chance to stop by Icicle Ridge Winery in Leavenworth. I would not normally post a winery, but this one was exceptional. Its a log home that the owners actually live in. Yet they are open daily for tastings. Their wine was very good, and the company was even better. Dan and I have been to several wineries, but this one was different. The atmosphere was very welcoming. Worthy of putting on my blog I thought. :)

My Dream

We will have this one day... I KNOW it. I want to walk through our vineyard of wine grapes savoring every smell, sound, and touch. It would be pure bliss. Absolute serenity.

Stop and smell the roses? Yeah right...

Christmas is around the corner. Where did the year go? I assume it was my fault for not paying attention to the past 11 months. They flew by me without notice. Nevertheless, the holidays are here and I must somehow figure out how to plan a wedding, buy presents, plan family get-togethers, and attend all of the things I need to attend. Oh, and on top of all this, sell the calendars that I mentioned in my last post. I seriously doubt that I will be sitting down much the next 45 days. Ahhh...But guess what? I am off to Hawaii in February. That will make it all worth it. So not much time to blog today. And if I do post anything at all the next few weeks, it will be short and to the point. Which is probably better than reading my ramblings anyway, right? :) Happy Thanksgiving!

Here it is! In print, and in my hands shortly!! This is the second year that my business partner/friend and I have created this unique calendar. It will prove to be a better year, as Barnes and Noble will be picking this up and distributing it in the multitudes. Anyone interested in ordering one, just email us at kathy@winestyle.com

Ahhh Amore'

Its been an unproductive day at the office so far today. Winter is definitely setting in and real estate is slowing to a tortoise-like pace. I organized my desk, emailed some friends, made some phone calls in preparation for the wedding, etc etc etc. Oh yes, I am getting married on the 17th of Dec. That's right, you heard me. ONE MONTH away!! Not that I am stressed out in any way, noooo not me. (ha) I'll just be glad when it is said and done, and I get to spend the rest of my life loving that wonderful man. I never have felt this strong about anyone. Never have I had so much in common with another person, let alone a male! We were destined to be together...I just know it. He makes me feel good. Well, maybe " good' is an understatement. He makes me feel AMAZING!!! The way he looks at me, the things he does, the things he says. Just last night out of nowhere, he looks at me and says, "you have the most beautiful eyes". Did he HAVE to say that?! No. A couple wee

20 Facts About Me...

Thought I would do a little "not that it matters to anyone" list... I love doing things that benefit no one. 1. I absolutely love wine. Smell, taste, and concept. 2. Was born and raised in Prosser. Used to live in Oregon, hated it. Oregonians are a different breed of people for sure. 3. I can play the piano. Well, I USED to be able to play. It’s like riding a bike isn’t it? 4. I am the biggest procrastinator on earth. 5. I’ve been married twice, and am in complete lust/love with #3…This is the one that will last. Third times a charm, and all that jazz. 6. I over-analyze everything. If its symbolic, I will find it and pick it apart. 7. Try to be a good Christian….I hold God above all others. I love giving things to people. Whether it be material or an act. It is miraculous the way it completes me. 8. I’ve never taken any hard drugs. Never liked the feeling of not being in control. 9. Speaking of control. I like to have it, but rarely get it. Not that I am out of control, just
