Michelle Winery in Woodinville, Washington is one of my favorite venues! When you can sit on stage and have THIS in front of you: BEAUTIFUL! YES, I am originally from Texas. YES, I now reside in Minnesota. NO, there is no other air that smells as sweet to me as the air located in the great Northwest! I just love it up there.One of the highlights of this venue is the "wildlife" that resides there. On your way to the catering house, you pass several cement ponds full of trout (and a few ducks to keep them company). You might also get a chance to see the peacock! In June 2015, Thomas Scheuzger got to formally make his acquaintance!
