June is a month for wine!

Washington wines have earned top honors and continue to gain popularity nationwide.  Grab your calendars and start date setting - there are loads of upcoming events honoring fabulous wines from all regions!

As mentioned in yesterday's post, tonight the Hard Rock Cafe - Seattle will be hosting the third annual 

'Wine Rocks Seattle' event benefitting Arts Corps.  If you still have not bought a ticket, but would like to attend, there may still be some tickets at the door.  

If you're already downtown and can't make the Hard Rock event - pop into The Tasting Room for a glass in Post Alley.  

Here are a few events in the coming week that are sure to be a great time - with great wine!  I will continue to post events as I find them, so be sure to stay tuned.
