Well dammit, now my eyes are a little leaky and my heart hurts a bit. I’ve lived away from Cascadia for too long. I love driving across eastern Washington and Oregon. Happily, living in Greece, I get a lot of the same landscape. I just wish it would freakin’ rain once in a while.

Walla Walla has some awesome wineries, good brewpubs in the area – and very nice people.

Sounds like you had fun.

Oh how I adore Walla Walla! So fun to hear someone else’s experience of it. But, I have to agree with Lynne’s diagnosis of Spocompton–seriously?? And I live in Tacoma, so that is saying a lot..but no, really–I am glad you enjoyed the PNW…come back soon!

So, you were in my motherland? Yes, it’s easy to fall in love with. Did you try Taco Time while you were there? I miss Taco Time.

Being someone who grew up in northern Idaho, I must say I was stunned when I read your comments about Spokane. Because it’s nickname is Spocompton. Seriously.

So – you made me realize that I should probably give it another try. I am very glad that you enjoyed the NW. Our wines aren’t bad, the scenery is stunning and all those people are pretty darn nice, eh?

Give me my damn Radiohead tape back since you won’t call or write me anymore! (I may have said this on someone’s voicemail (5 times) in my distant past.)

I sure wish I had been in the middle of the Sizzle and Kris love sandwich last week.

Duh. I sent my comment to the wrong post. Tried to be eloquent and ended up retarded. Atleast I am consistent. Nice pics.

I loved this post…especially the end. So well-written. Inspiring. *This* is what blogging is about.

“WEED! THAT’S TUMBLING!” Out of my one good, not-infected eye, I am laughing tears right now. (The sick eye is just crying on its own.)

Post made my morning :o)

I always thought Walla Walla was just one of those made up place names like Timbuktu or Xanadu or Bayonne.

The What Not to Wear gal with the faerie wings is Sunny – and how cute is that *after* hairdo?

I really wish I were you right now. I’m dying to head out that way.

I went to college in WA (Evergreen State College, no lie!) and this brought me back to that gorgeous scenery, the onions, the wine and the absolutely gorgeous colors of the pacific nw… Glad to hear someone loves it as much as I do! More pics?!

There is something about WA state…it could be all the vineyards. Maybe. Possibly, OK, Yes. It Is, indeed, the vineyards…so glad you enjoyed your trip!

You were in my old neighborhood(s). I toured Walla Walla earlier this year and it was truly amazing. Love the wine. P.S. Your pairing with the KFC Combo; pure fucking GENIUS!!

glad you had a good time in the Pacific NW. You’ve now traveled more in washington than I have, and I live in Portland.

Yeah Baby! That’s what I’m talking about! Very Hunter Thompson-esque! While I didn’t see any ether mentioned, it would have kicked it up a notch!

“I bought a wonderful bottle of Grenache, paired it with a KFC combo, and drank it out of a Dixie cup in my room”

Reminds me of the time a bunch of other sommeliers and I drank a rather expensive bottle of cabernet from juice glasses and paired with pizza from Dominos. It was great.

Glad you had a good time; glad you’re back on the right coast.

I want to live in the same Washington as you! It really, truly was a treat to finally meet you in person. I absolutely adore you and wish we had more time to gab.
