Weekend wine ideas
The weather promises to be cooler as the weekend approaches but there’s only a slight chance of rain called for this evening – a perfect opportunity to enjoy the First Friday Art Walk going on in downtown Vancouver tonight. Pick up a Hot Sheet at Vancouver’s Downtown Association site for all the goings on. Cellar 55 and East Fork Cellars are hosting live music in addition to being open extended hours.
For Saturday and Sunday, it’s always warm inside the area tasting rooms. Cheers!

I am a Clark County native. I am Level 2 WSET (wine and spirit education trust)-certified and enjoy pairing wine with my passion for travel and fondness of food. My most prized possessions are the memories of places I've been with my husband, the chance encounters we've been blessed to have along the way and my carry-on bag. I can often be seen around town and in tasting rooms with our two beautiful, double-Merle Australian shepherds, Challenge and Baby Girl.
