What to do with wine corks...hmmm..


I know! Make them into earrings.

Not your average winery


This is a great place to have a party. We have been meaning to stop at this place for a long time and this last week I got a chance to stop by. it is a micro winery where they make a small batches of award winning wines BUT they also allow folks like you and me to make your own. What a great idea...make your own wine but not worry about the hassle of OWNING your own winery. We are planning on taking up on that AND/OR going on a tour they are setting up during Thanksgiving weekend. check out their website, http://www.classicwinemakers.com/.

heymann Whinery


What a great place to go and whine (haha). The owners Bob and Flossie Heymann, has made this downtown shop worth stopping and un-WINE (again, haha). The Cranberry wine is my favorite where my husband's favorite is the Blackberry. They have wine tasting right inside their shop as well as winemaking supplies to help you make your own wine. The next time you drive, take the train or the take the bus and you are going south of Olympia, stop in Centralia to their WHINERY. You won't be disappointed.

Liz and Randy Lobe

P.S. our wine barrel stave candle holders are available in their shop as well.
