This was our first time being invited to Andrew Will on Vashon Island.   It was a perfect day…how can you beat the weather and a short ferry trip to Vashon Island?   We weren’t sure what to expect at Andrew Will…it was delightful.

We sampled 5 new 2005 releases (which is a stellar vintage for Washington wines BTW).   And throughout their compound, they had wonderful snacks from salty olives, breads, cheeses and salads to brick oven pizza cooked right before our eyes.  There was a one-man-techno-band that seemed to work in with the laid back atmosphere.  And did I say we tasted the 2005 releases?

Andrew Will is normally not open to the public.   I highly encourage you to get on their mailing list so you can enjoy a day such as this!

To cap it all off, we uncorked a bottle of 2005 Two Blondes to enjoy with my husband, his brother and sister and law who live on Vashon before heading back to West Seattle.
