Coming up APRIL 25: Lighten Up, It's Spring!
Light-bodied wines are more delicate and leaner. They typically contain the lowest amount of
alcohol, and they are lighter in the mouth. It makes these wine pair well with lighter foods, such as
white meat, seafood, or salads. Bring your own light-bodied wine paired with a food you like and
let’s share our thoughts!

FEBRUARY 2021: ARMSTRONG FAMILY WINERY
Wine has been part of the Armstrong's life celebrations ever since Tim pulled out a bottle of wine and two glasses from his backpack on a canoeing trip on one of their very first dates back in 1999. As their relationship grew, so did their love of wine. Armstrong Family Winery is a first-generation winemaking family working together to craft outstanding, classically-styled Washington wines that are meant to share the table with great food, friends, and family. Jen and Tim Armstrong will tell us how they got 'Hooked" on wine from a bottle of Walla Walla Merlot, and moved their family to Washington to start their wine adventure. While they are influenced by their first wine-love, the wines of Bordeaux, they like to think their approach is Bordeaux-inspired rather than Bordeaux-style.
