Last time we went to a couple wineries in the area and had a great time. Bought 3 bottles of wine.
And the next weekend we had a business trip. Actually my daughter did. She’s a cheese professional, has several letters after her name. Works for Walla Walla Cheese Co. which is actually located in Milton Freewater, Oregon just 8 miles from Walla Walla. You can order any cheese from them and they’ll ship it to you. My favorite is the Habanero Cheddar but all their cheeses are excellent.
We went to a local winery just 3 miles from home named the Los Rocosos. A boutique winery with a tasting room with a view of the vines. Reason for the trip was that the owners wanted help in pairing their wines with WW Cheese Co. cheeses for a tasting event they had coming up. So daughter brought a bunch of cheese samples along. This is one of the owners in the tasting room for larger groups. We were only 4 so sat at the couches.
My daughter expressing the nuances of her cheese selections. She’d made up that folder with a guide of her suggestions based on the types of wines they made there. Like a true professional. Anyway, at her feet is a satchel of sample sizes of various cheeses which she’d cut up for all of us and then we’d sample the wines offered and then see if any of the cheeses paired well with it. It was the kind of thing I never thought I would end up doing.
The intimate tasting area. I liked the wood work.
Picture looks like it’s mid-fall but it was still summer, but not too hot out.
And here’s Roger and his wife who’s name I’ve forgotten and some of the wine samples. It was fun comparing wines with cheeses and ranking them on suitability of pairing. I forget which pairing was the best but there was one in particular that was an amazing match. Everyone agreed it was the winner.
