We were recently sent an article on a wine that is being sold for the astronomical price of USD$5,000 for the 2019 vintage. That’s right, not a special, rare collector’s vintage like 1961, 1947 or 1928. And not a name that gets top scores or terrific accolades from the wine cognoscenti. We decided to do a bit more research to find out just what this was all about.
Earlier this year AdVINEtures was asked to help some very generous friends put together a list of wines to have at a very special, intimate gathering at a local restaurant. We were given just a theme to guide us in our selections: choose wines that will be the best wines the guests will have in their lives. It was a pretty daunting task, but we couldn’t resist so…challenge accepted.
We’re very excited to announce that AdVINEtures is now a monthly contributor to the Daily Hive, a Canadian-born online news source established in 2008, that delivers top-tier information to its audience in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Edmonton, Seattle, and Portland. Here’s the link to our debut article: 8 bucket-list wineries you need to visit in Canada. Cheers!
Unless you’re a resident of Washington state or a serious fan of Washington wine, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Woodinville.

Here’s a glimpse of a few of our favourite places to sip and taste in Woodinville featuring: Avennia Wine, Lauren Ashton Cellars, Orr Wines, Delille Cellars, the Herbfarm, the Barking Frog, Brian Carter Cellars Long Shadows, McQueen Champagne Bar, Maryhill Winery, and Chateau Ste.
