PNW Wine Life & Style

Here are my suggestions for beautiful floral, botanical cocktail books. They use herbs, edible flowers, fruits, spices and botanical items to make garden-to-glass style cocktails. Most of these books have mocktail or non-alcoholic options. Many of these books have recipes for infusions, shrubs, and tinctures too. These really are most useful in summertime and at harvest when nature's bounty is available.

Here are fun puzzles and games for wine lovers and cocktail enthusiasts. I've included several wine and cocktails trivia games as well. Some of these are great to bring with you on a girls getaway weekend!

Cookbooks to help you pair food and wine, cook with wine and infuse wine into your dishes. It's good to have a couple of these books on hand for reference if you host a lot of dinner parties or garden parties where you serve food.

If Happy Hour starts every day at your house at 4 pm like it does at mine, you might like these cocktail themed kitchen towels. Most are tea towels but some are the soft absorbent terrycloth like I prefer.

The best glasses for tasting and drinking wine. Specially created to enhance the flavors and aromas of the wine you're enjoying.

Woodinville doesn't have many Mexican restaurants, and I love all of them!
