The PNA Wine Taste safely brought together more than two hundred tasters for an intimate evening in the Blue Building on March 5. Nine wineries offered more than thirty wines to sip, ponder, and purchase at the event wine store. Tasters mingled with winemakers as the sounds of corks, conversation, and laughter filled the space like wine in a tasting glass. The Wine Taste raised almost $9,200 for our vital programs and showed the talent of Washington winemakers and the warmth of our community.
