A New Desert Wine

Mother's Day was lovely with a call from my daughter.  Then Hubs and I ran down to Apex to pick out a bottle of wine for him to take to a meeting.  Of course this involved tasting their various wines. We really liked their Sauvignon Blanc, and then found several of their Reds are quite delicious as well. 
They do complimentary tasting of the chocolate shop wines. Here things are like desert in a glass.
Their is one called Chocolate which is  chocolate cherry tasting.  Then there's a Strawberry Chocolate, which the pourer was saying he uses in french toast.  It was like Jam so sweet and the strawberry flavor was magnificent.It would be great paired with New York cheese cake.  But the ultimate was the Almond Roca Cream.  If you like Baileys Irish cream this is reminiscent of that.  I would pair it with Cheese cake, or you could mix with some whip cream and do crepes ,  or over ice, or mix with some vodka.....its delicious and definitely a desert on its own.  You want to try something new, give it try.


Then we went on down to Airfield, where we were able to taste their Lone Birch wines.  These are sold in the local markets like QFC , Safeway,  etc.  We found these to be pretty tasty, too.  
We ordered some food from Village Wines to finish our tasting up at Airfield.  My favorite pizza combo from there is called Lisa's favorite and its amazing.  Its made on lavash bread with white BBQ sauce, goat cheese, prosciutto  artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes and olive tapenade.  I could eat this everyday its so delicious.  It came with a salad of mixed greens and slice strawberries with balsamic vinegar. There was so much it was our lunch and dinner.  If you're in Woodinville Wine country area, definitely make a stop, the staff are friendly and they have the cutest little pup to welcome you.
