First a few notes about this past Saturday and a note about the next TWO Saturdays, so let me start with that:<\/p>\n
PLEASE NOTE WE WILL BE CLOSED SATURDAY JUNE 27 <\/span><\/strong>!<\/p>\n WE WILL BE OPEN SATURDAY JULY 4 <\/span><\/strong> with yet another in the popular series of our own delectable chocolate truffles<\/strong> made by the as-yet unnamed partnership of Pat and Janice H, which I think should be called “Lummi Island Chocolate Kompany,” or LICK <\/strong> short…?\u00a0 If you have not tried these confections, you are really missing something, so be sure to put it on your calendar!<\/p>\n Now, as for the past weekend…it was like Out of Control. Shortly after opening time of 1pm (NO ONE shows up at ONE…well almost no one) there arrived one of our favorite twosomes, Dan R the wine writer for the Herald and partner Alex, who is writing a story for a new Whatcom monthly to appear in August, featuring wine tasting on Lummi. Perhaps by then our friends at Legoe Bay winery will have their tasting room open…<\/p>\n WHAT? Lummi Island as a wine tour Destination! W@hoa, Dude!<\/p>\n New guest Mary Ann got to experience the Dan and Alex show and then became part of the Judy and John show (no last names) as Judy on a “business call” brought by a number of wines for us to taste, so of course all the guests of the moment got to try them, too. Favorites included a nice little sauv blanc from South America and a barbera from Italy that we will be tasting soon.<\/p>\n It all got a little blurry after that; our laid-back little wine shop in the country filled up with revelers and honest, doc, that’s all I remember. More later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First a few notes about this past Saturday and a note about the next TWO Saturdays, so let me start with that: PLEASE NOTE WE WILL BE CLOSED SATURDAY JUNE 27 !
