Wine Touring in the Time of COVID
Last weekend, after a great deal of thought, research and planning, my husband and I and another couple who've been part of our decades-long wine tasting group decided to trek to Walla Walla, Washington, for that region's annual fall release weekend. We have attended many such events over the course of several years, when the area's wineries take part in the semi-annual release of their latest vintages. The first weekend in May is the partner to this autumnal event and draws a much bigger crowd, at the start of the summer travel season, to indulge in the world-class wines produced there. We've always enjoyed this quieter, more relaxed first November weekend compared to its exuberant spring sister. Harvest and crush, the most frenetic time of year for winemakers, have just wrapped up, and everyone in the industry seems happy to be able to take a deep breath, reflect on the season just gone and look forward to the coming holidays.
