Walter Dacon Looks back (just for a second) and Looks Ahead!

Since our 5th anniversary celebration (Le Grand Crew Dinner Party) at the end of July, it has been a whirlwind of activity for us.  It seems we've been on the go constantly.  I just looked at the calendar and the long days of summer are wanning.

But the good news keeps coming for Walter Dacon:

• Wine Spectator, in the latest edition (September issue) gave our 2007 C'est Syrah Magnifique 93 points!
• This follows on the heals of Wine Spectator's August edition giving C'est Syrah Beaux 92 points
• Appanage 91 points
• C'est Syrah Belle 90 points

We poured at Auction of Washington Wines and Picnic with the Winemakers, Thursday, August 19th, at Chateau Ste. Michelle, Woodinville, to benefit uncompensated care at Seattle Children's Hospital and the Washington Wine Education Foundation.

• We're also very pleased to welcome Salida Wines (by Doug and Kim McCrea) new tasting room in downtown Olympia, located in the New Caldonia Building, 116 5th Ave.  They are open for tastings and sales Thursday through Saturday 1 pm to 6 pm and Sunday from 1 pm to 4 pm.  Stop in and tell Kim and Doug that Walter Dacon suggested you drop by.

Friends of Olympia Farmer's Market is holding the 11th annual "Taste of the Market" on Tuesday the 24th of August, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.  Walter Dacon will be there pouring Voignier, Belle and Beaux.  Tickets can be purchased at the Farmers Market Office or online at Farmers Market.  Come out and support our local farmers and vendors!

• We also want to invite everyone to join us over the Labor Day Weekend to listen to live music by Teacher, drink great wines and feast on Taylor Shellfish Farms fresh steamer clams done Walter style.  Noon to 6 pm Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 4th, 5th and 6th.
