Annual Meeting of the Stained Tooth Society

Mike, Laurie, Knox and Sue at Cougar Crest.

Multi-tasking by Knox: check your Blackberry and taste wine at the same time...

why else would God give you two hands?

Happy Halloween!

Knox and Mike start Saturday's tastings at Nicholas Cole.

Sue's glasses are just a bit too big for her head.

Mike does some due diligence on the wine-making process.

Board members at the annual meeting of the STS were treated to a delicious lunch,

including caramel apples for dessert.

Mike with his favorite lady at the meeting:

the woman pouring the Reserve Cab.

Laurie and Sue wait for the guys.

Repacking the trunk to make room for the 7+ cases of wine we purchased.

The Reynoldsons and the McMillans toured Walla Walla this past weekend. We were in town for the annual shareholder meeting of the Stained Tooth Society (the wine club at Dusted Valley Vineyards). Those cheeseheads at DV put on a great party (ahem, I mean hosted a great meeting): great food on the grille, advance tastings of their new wine releases, live music, a magician, a big top tent...a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Of course, a trip to Walla Walla would not be complete without some wine tastings (Mike and Knox sampled 36 different wines at 5 different wineries on Saturday) and fantastic meals at some great restaurants. Each time we visit Walla Walla, we dream about moving there, buying a vineyard and opening a winery. Seems like some of Mike's and Knox's best ideas come after visiting a couple of wineries and swilling some new releases:
