Something to do this Weekend: Northwest Wine & Cheese Tour

I don't know about you but my two most favorite things in this world are a good cheese matched with a quality wine.  Lucky for me (and everyone else who likes to indulge) the Olympic Peninsula Wineries are putting on their third annual Northwest Wine & Cheese Tour this weekend, April 16th and 17th.

Eight wineries and eight cheesemakers are pairing up to offer participants great tasting local wine and palette pleasing cheeses.  $25 buys you tastings at all of the participating wineries.
