my morning started off with a run along 5 mile road. as i run there is almost no one around it was just me running down a quiet road lined with rolling hills of wheat that shined like gold in the morning sun. the air was warm and dry and i could tell that it hadn't rained there for a long time because i could taste the soil/dirt in the air with every breathe i took in.
after the run was a pancake breakfast in the barn of the vineyard followed by a wine tasting (a couple hours later) of the abeja line up. Our hostess was very knowledge and the wines were decent though we walked away empty handed.
next was rulo, who makes an amazing syrah. They are a small production winery and keep their bottle prices low by self distributing which means unless you are in the walla walla area you most likely won't get a taste of their wonderful syrah. Unless of course you happen to come over to dinner on a night we decide to pop one open. Our visit lasted about an hour and was a pleasure, we walked out with a few bottles we purchased plus an 07 syrah that vicki (co-owner) gave us as a preview of whats to come! thanks vicki
Later on in the evening we hit up saffron for some dinner. if you ever find yourself in walla walla this is the place to eat. i'd have to say that it's the best place in town, not that the others are bad by any means its just amazing!
