Did today's Seahawks game, a 25-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints with many questionable calls by the referees, drive you to drink? Or were you already going to down a few beers anyways? Either way, you're not alone.

It is going to be another hot one in Central Washington -- maybe 100 degrees. And the perfect food for a day this hot is watermelon!

Rattlesnake Hills Spring Barrel Tasting is on the way! I love going around to each vineyard and trying new wine. And April 18-19, member vineyards pull down their premium barrels and let us all in on the action!
