OLYWA

I've just been in Olympia visiting family and friends, eating razor clams at Ben Moores and drinking, admittedly, more beer than wine. When in Oly I always make a point of sampling some of fish tale's finest and this trip was no exception. I used the Fishbowl as both a lunch spot and as a mobile office (with great beer on tap and free wireless!). Of their beers I tried this time I gravitated towards their Organic IPA.

Outside of Fish Tale I was able to check on the '07 wahluke slope syrah and things are shaping up. It's a lighter bodied and colored syrah than your average new world - more cherry than plum. so far - i like it - still trying to figure out whether to leave it in the barrel for 6 more months or bottle in October.
