This is my second time walking inChateau Ste.Michelle, Washington's oldest winery.
If the last time I came here was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, then this time it was as if I had traveled back to the familiar and long-lost "Spring Festival Temple Fair", and I was surprised when I entered.
Unexpectedly, the most delicious place in Seattle in the first month of the year is actually in this ancient winery.
Look outside the courtyard, with Chinese lanterns hanging high, big red couplets facing each other, and even the tops of the tents for outdoor seating are red.
The atmosphere in the tasting room is even more complete. The whole wall is painted with Chinese red, and the wine bottle is also hung with festive labels.
When we went there, we also caught up with the most lively lion dance. The two lions were jumping and jumping, which was extraordinarily vivid. It was more interesting than watching on the street.
Chateau Ste. Michelle is probably the first winery I have ever seen that pays so much attention to the Chinese New Year and Chinese guests. Facing the flamboyant decoration and falling flag, we have opened up the fantasy of the taste buds of Eastern New Year and Western wines. trip.

Beef and onion stuffed dumplings, served with a limited-edition Zinfandel,
It is a very curious food and wine pairing.
