Yakima Valley Wine and Summer Tourism Discussed on the Mike Bastinelli Show [AUDIO]

You may not think so, but the Yakima Valley is a mecca for summer and wine tourists. Whether they come for wine, agriculture, sports, outdoor recreation, or just want to relax in the sun poolside, out of town visitors come and spend millions of dollars, making a huge impact on the local economy.
