On hand was Woodinville Mayor Scott Hageman to open up the ceremonies for all of the Columbia Wine members and Enthusiasts who were there to celebrate the New Remodeled space! Also Susan Hutchison, who is running for King County Executive, was there to enjoy the activites as well! Thanks to all the supporters, wine lovers and Woodinville Residents who enjoyed the afternoon with us!

The Columbia Winery in Woodinville invited me out to photograph their Newly Remodeled Winery! Look out for Photographs from their Ribbon Cutting Ceremony later this week!

They’ve recently invested in a $2 million renovation of the entire Interior and boy is it BEAUTIFUL!! Not only is there a beautiful new wine tasting bar, Beautiful new central Fireplace with cozy seating all the way around, but the winery is now also licensed to sell wine by the glass and is offering FREE WI-FI…Sorry, Starbucks…The Columbia Winery now has the goods!!

So now you can drive through wine country, stop in to enjoy a glass of their Delicious Peninsula blend, fire up your laptop and enjoy the Gorgeous and peaceful surroundings! Not a bad way to spend your afternoon, eh?!!

View images of the Grounds, Main Wine Tasting space complete with Fireplace and Cozy seating, Members lounge and the Wedding Reception Interior and the Bridal Suite….

Great job and thanks so much for all the hard work!! Habitat for Humanity ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

And this is BillaBong!! She is half Yellow Lab and half Golden Retriever! Though her owner Sally truly thinks there is a few other breeds blended into her shady mix! Sally was living in Hawaii when she got BillaBong as a pup and was looking for a dog that would love the water as much as she did. When she walked in to see all the puppies available she was told that BillaBong was a mistake pup, but when Sally saw her alseep with her head IN the water bowl, she KNEW she had found a dog who would love the water as much as she did!!!
