Spring Barrel Tasting!
(Not that we need another reason to love spring…)

This weekend Yakima Valley Wineries will show off their unfinished wines-straight out of the barrel. Be one of the first to taste this year’s vintage and learn about the wine-making process.

Of course, while you’re out there, come over to Chukar’s Wine Country Road store in Prosser, WA to learn about pairing wine and chocolate and enjoying Chukar treats with local wines!

Don’t forget to ask for your complementary cherry treat perfect for any regional wine. 

Do you have a favorite wine pairing tip? How about a fun wine recipe? Post it to our Facebook wall!
