I've lived in Walla Walla all my life. While almost reaching my 25th year in this town, I've found that it’s about damn time I start to learn about wine.I’d be the first to raise my hand and jump up and down if someone asked, “Who here doesn’t like wine?” Despite my efforts to boycott this bitter (poison to my taste buds) drink, my lack of knowledge has been holding me back in the wonderland of Walla Walla, and if I’m going to stay put and raise a family, I might as well become accustomed to what this town has turned into over the past 20 years.
I tried for as long as possible to not be a part of the wine world of Walla Walla, but spending the past couple of months venturing out into the job market has opened my eyes to the fact that you can’t go anywhere in life without the knowledge of wine—at least while living in Walla Walla. With my newfound label of concierge at a local hotel, I’m getting questions daily about this magical vine juice in a bottle.
With this, I’m determined to learn. I’m going to start reading Wine Trails of Walla Walla By Steve Roberts. I’ve opened up the first page and read the introduction, and have to admit, I’m intrigued.
It will be an interesting read, and of course, I wouldn’t go on this journey without including all ya’ll fine folk! Oh, wait. That’s not proper English. ‘All of you wonderfully elegant gentlepersons’ That’s better. I wonder if I’ll obtain an English accent in the process. Ok, I know it’s naïve of me to think that….but I’m pretty sure that would be awesome.
Come along. Bathe in the knowledge that I share with you. Enjoy my humor. And possibly learn something you didn’t know before. Further posts to come…
