Great wine shop, free Saturday tastings
Friday, February 17, 2006
I have recently moved away from Seattle and I really miss McCarthy & Schiering. Why? Because I have trouble finding great Washington state wines now for one. These guys always have great new vintners mixed in with the elite of Washington winemakers. I loved finding an outstanding bottle for $18 in this shop. I also miss the friendly staff who always treated you nicely no matter how much or how little you know about wine. Finally, I miss the Saturday afternoon tastings. Spending a half hour browsing in the shop while tasting two or three wines is a great Saturday afternoon activity.
