Join Walter Dacon In the Vineyard - It's All about Terroir -

Please Join Us at Walter Dacon Wines for our Third Seminar:



May 5th, 6:30 – 8 pm


“In the Vineyard – It’s All about Terroir

Here in Washington State, wine grapes have a legacy reaching back nearly 17,000 years when catastrophic ice age floods began carving the rugged terrain where today’s grape vines thrive. Lloyd (Andy) will help us experience the Missoula Floods through animations and learn how wine is a reflection of terroir (the interaction of geology, soil, climate and human intervention – a sense of place. We have no one word that translates the French word terroir).
We will taste wine from different vineyards, aged in barrels of the same cooperage and toast levels. You will see and taste the vast difference. We’re sure you will be amazed at the differing flavor profiles.

Please sign up early, there are only 20 spaces. You’ll receive a glass of Walter Dacon wine, nibble on gourmet cheeses along with artisan breads for a cost of $20.

Our last seminar on stemware was sold out.

You can go to Facebook, search for Walter Dacon, click on Events to RSVP to the seminar, give us a call @ 360 426-5913 or email us at ann@walterdaconwines.com.

Cheers!

SUNSHINE @ WALTER DACON WINES


Walter Dacon is now HOT - with a WiFi connection.  Holly was on the patio with her lap top today.

Join us on the patio - can you believe it - sunshine all day (Andy mowed all the lawns today - he tells me this is the first time in 30 years he's mowed in February).  Ah, the life of a winemaker!

A Day at the Legislature (well, part of a day)

Walter Dacon co-owner, Ann, who is a board member on the Washington Wine Institute, was asked to testify in favor of SB 6719, having to do with charitable events, pouring and selling wine to benefit the sponsoring charity.  She said it was a blast!
