The Taste Washington Festival is going virtual in 2021 and
we are delighted to celebrate all the deliciousness Washington has to offer! In
the past, the festival featured over 300 exhibitors pouring wine and serving
food in an event center in Seattle. This year, we are happy to invite our
friends & family, both near and far, to join in and
Taste Washington at Home!
Each week in March we will encourage you into the kitchen...with a bottle of wine, of course, to savour a themed food & wine pairing, honouring Washington's top-produced varietals. Not in the mood to cook? Go ahead and support a local restaurant! We will share recipes on our Recipe Blog to give you inspiration and run special offers or special releases on the featured wines. Watch your email for details!
And here's the fun part, share a picture of your themed meal with a Dineen Vineyard's wine using the hashtag #DineenVineyards during the month and you will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate!
Washington Wine Month Themes:
Week 1: Cabernet & Casserole
Week 2: Chardonnay & Catch of the Day
Week 3: Syrah & BBQ
Week 4: Red Blend & Family Recipes
Week 5: Riesling & Noodles or Dumplings
We hope you will join us in supporting your local food purveyors & Washington Wine all month long!

We
are excited to be approaching the soft re-opening of our new gallery and
feature two art shows at one time!
Víctor Ospina
February 2021
"Abstraction, geometric
figures, experimentation, simplicity, creation, aesthetics, and art inspires
me. Because with art I can create, I can solve situations intelligently and I
can admire the beauty of the universe; With art, I can be the inspiration for others.
My
artwork was born from the interest of involving different study subjects from the
social sciences such as sociology, history, anthropology, with the plastic
arts. Consequently, social issues such as violence in Colombia, Post-truth, the
voices of the silenced and victims of war as the central axis of my work that
invites the viewer to reflect on our society, to be inspired and to be part of
the change for a better country."

Composer/pianist
Ben Macy brings his unique
improvisational take on various genres of music ranging from chamber music to
folk to post-rock, all nestled surprisingly well next to your jazz favorites.
Joined by some of the finest musicians from all over the Northwest, Ben's deep
roots in the music of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett act as a springboard to draw
listeners into these deeply personal, musical stories.
Ben Macy - piano
Skyler Mendell - trumpet
Greg Lyman - bass
Tyson Stubelek - drums
Ben's music brings a rare sense of sincerity to every show. With songs that can be whimsical as well as melancholy, every show gives audiences a chance to connect deeper to both the music and themselves. Whether he's playing solo, with his trio, or with a full string quartet, Ben's concert appearances are not to be missed.
