Wine Press Club Shocked And Awed At Prosser Farm
It was a beautiful day in Eastern Washington’s wine country, seemingly perfect for the Wine Press Club to stage an attack upon Tom Douglas’ Prosser Farm. The mission: locate and destroy a four-course, wine-paired lunch. But Pamela Hinckley (chief military strategist and CEO of Tom Douglas Restaurants), countered with a winery pincer maneuver, surrounding our luncheon with visits to Den Hoed Wine Estates for a chat with their top viticulturalist, and to Chinook Winery for a tasting and to help pick the blend for the Dahlia Lounge 20th anniversary cuvee. Clashes erupted mid-morning, when Pamela’s forward troops met our forces head-on at the Exit 80 truck stop. Needless to say, the Wine Press Club was quickly charmed, then subdued. And in the style of any benevolent conqueror, Tom took us in . . . and promptly put us to work in the kitchen.
Luckily, one of our spies eluded capture to bring you this uncensored footage from the battlefield. Warning: these photos contain graphic images.
More details on the Wine Press Club picnic can be read on the Tom Douglas blog.
These photos are amazing. Beautiful photography can instantly bring tastes to the tongue and smells to the nose. I can’t think of a better recruiting tool for the Wine Press Club.
