All Things Wine

I attended the Food and Wine Pairing Class last evening at All Things Wine located at 4605 NE 4th St #4 in the Renton Highlands. This class was actually #4 in a series and now I wish I had been able to attend the previous three. Owners Leesa and Wayne Kofmehl are both very knowledgeable and have an obvious love of wine! And Wayne admitted his fondness of beer. He laughed when I told him my kind of beer is "Bud Light." All Things Wine offers free wine and beer tastings and has one lined up for tonight. So if you're looking for something fun to do this evening......stop by. Here's the upcoming tasting schedule: Tonight's Winery is Maryhill.

Wednesdays: 5:00-7:30 pm

Fridays: Beer and Wine Night 5:00-7:30 pm

Saturdays: Flagship Wine Tasting All Day 11:00-7:00 pm

All Things Wine also offers a Wine Club....for more information visit their website at: http://www.allthingswineonline.com/article.espx?SHOW=12263

Retirement......

Well I offically "retired" as of Tuesday night. I am so looking forward to it! I have so many things I would like to do but always had work commitments. I will keep you informed of my adventures!

These first few days include getting out in my much neglected yard and just plain relaxing. I do have a wine and food pairing class tonight that I signed up through Renton Technical College. It's from 7-9:00pm. The class is scheduled at All Things Wine in the Highlands. If you haven't had a chance to visit this great wine shop, you should. They have wine and beer tastings several times a week and usually always free! http://www.allthingswineonline.com/article.espx?SHOW=12263

Friday evening is Mike's official retirement party at the Pavilion. He retired in September after spending 38 1/2 years with the Renton Fire Department (the department has recently been renamed Renton Fire and Emergency Services) http://rentonwa.gov/government/default.aspx?id=644. Mike retired as Battalion Chief. It will be fun to see all the active and retired firefigthers who have been like family to Mike and I over the years. It's pretty special the brotherhood the firefighters have towards each other and their families. - Sue
