Don’t say I didn’t warn you — tickets are going fast for one of our favorite wine events of the year, St. Nicholas Open House weekend in Woodinville on Dec. 6 & 7. Most of the $35 “Sunday-only” tickets are already gone, but there are still $50 tickets that will extend your experience to both days. But you’d better move quickly. The tickets are being sold only on Woodinville Wine Country’s website.

We love this event for a number of reasons — we can visit wineries that aren’t frequently open to the public, stop by our old favorites and finally drop in on all those other wineries that we’ve been meaning to try all year long. It’s also a great time to stock up on wine for the holidays — whether you want to add bottles to your own cellar, purchase wine for family and friends, or buy a special bottle or two to take to parties.

Participating wineries to date include: Adams Bench, Alexandria Nicole Cellars, Anton Ville, Arlington Road Cellars, Brian Carter Cellars, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Winery, Covington Cellars, Cuillin Hills Winery, Des Voignes Cellars, Di Stefano Winery, Edmonds Winery, Efeste Wine Cellars, Hestia Cellars, Hollywood Hill Vineyards, Januik Winery, J. Bookwalter Winery, Matthews Estate, Northwest Totem Cellars, Novelty Hill Winery, Page Cellars, Red Sky Winery, Ross Andrew Winery, Silver Lake Winery, Sparkman Cellars, Stevens Winery, William Church Winery, Woodhouse Family Cellars, Woodinville Wine Cellars and XSV Wines.

We’ll be there on Sunday, Dec. 7th. Hope to see you there too!

Cheers!
