Times are a-changin’ Dear reader,

I know I’ve said this about every month thus far, but in all seriousness, September is my favorite.

Having recently escaped the school schedule (OK, it’s been a year, but I still wake up on Mondays stressed I haven’t done my homework), there’s an anxiety that comes with the fall: school’s starting up, the weather is changing, the days are shorter. But it’s also a time for posi-tive change: new books, new clothes, new classes.

Last fall, I found myself alone in New York City, brav-ing weird weather and busy streets while � nishing an internship. And despite being completely caught up in the massiveness of it all, I found myself longing for one thing: autumn in the Paci� c Northwest.

It means cooler weather (AFTER Bumbershoot, of course), warmer colors and wetter streets. It means football on Sundays, leaves on the ground, and the crisp breeze in my hair.

For our September issue we’ve got a variety of things on deck. On the cover we’re showcasing a pair of Eastside teens who are taking center stage as part of the ballroom dancing world championship in Vienna, Austria. We’ve also got design tips from TV personality and designer Tracy Hutson and fall make-up tips and all the scoop on Bellevue Fashion Week.

If entertainment is what you seek, we’ve got all the deets on what’s happening around town: Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh spills on what you can expect from their show with Blondie at Chateau Ste. Michelle, and comedian Bill Bellamy is talking about driving the ladies mad with his crazy, sexy and dirty jokes.

So take a seat, enjoy the ride, embrace the change. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a beautiful fall.

Fall Skin Refresher Treatment

BY KEEGAN PROSSER

Fall is just around the corner, and as kids gear up for back to school, grown-ups may be looking for a little change of their own - in the form of redesigning the house.

While it can o� en be overwhelming to redecorate a familiar space, TV personality and designer Tracy Hutson of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” fame says it’s all about � nding inspiration.

“It could be anything, from sitting down and looking through a magazine. But typically there is an art piece or a rug or a color swatch that you can just start from.”

Hutson says decorative pillows are a great jumping o� point for redesigning a room - especially for someone who is hesitant about bringing in bright colors. Hut-son also suggests mixing highend and lowend pieces to create your ideal space on a budget.

“I just love the idea of taking an inspiration photo or picture of a room that you just cannot get o� your mind and trying to accomplish that with vintage � nds,” she says.

In regard to saving money, Hutson says paint can go a long way. In addition to changing up wall colors she suggests � nding inexpensive mirrors at garage sales and paints them a bold color.

As far as design aesthetics are concerned, Hutson says current trends are lean-ing toward a more eclectic style. She says people are experimenting with a variety of di� erent looks, creating their own unique aesthetic: boho-chic, rustic-modern and more.

But Hutson says it’s all about choosing pieces accordingly. She says it’s OK to go for a “splurge” piece (an antique dresser, an expensive sofa), as long as you get cra� y with the rest of your budget. She also cites antique stores and � ea markets as the go-to for historical, one-of-a-kind pieces.

“You know no one else will have it because you didn’t get it at Pottery Barn,” Hut-son says.

Other features vital to redesign are lighting - and a good sofa. Hutson says lighting can make or break a room, and putting lights on a dimmer is an inexpensive way of setting, and controlling, the mood in the room. However, she says to be wary of can lighting. While the overhead � xtures can be a great way to light a room, people o� en install too many - which can wash out the space.

Hutson says a sofa can anchor a room, even in small spaces. For this piece, Hutson says it’s best to choose a neutral shade, and use piping or decorative pillows to bring in a pop of color.

“It’s a lot easier to buy pillows than reupholster a sofa,” Hutson says. Ultimately, the designer says the most important thing to consider when redesign-

ing a room is personal taste. You want the room to re� ect you style, so trust your own instincts in what you like (and don’t like). A� er all, it’s your space to enjoy.

American new wave act Devo � rst stepped into the scene in the ‘70s, as an exploration of the Vietnam War and the violence that surrounded it. Known for its use of science � ction, humor and political commentary, the act has recorded some of the most well known pop to date (“Whip It”) while continuing to push boundaries with quirky, art rock sounds.

� e Scene caught up with co-founder Mark Mothers-baugh to talk about the evolution (of the de-evolution), and their headlining tour with Blondie.

scene: Devo is know as one of the pioneers of the music video. What were you guys doing that helped to de� ne videos? MM: We were making � lms before records. We didn’t see it as being something separate. Sometimes we would conceptualize � lms before we even made the music to go along. We thought we were going to be something else - we wanted to be like the Akron, Ohio, version of Andy Warhol’s Factory. We talked about [creating] a network that showed � lms and music fused together - as part of the same. And MTV took a small step in doing that.

scene: Can you speak to the message behind “Whip It?”MM: We had just come back from a world tour, and we were surprised to hear what people thought about our foreign policy. � ey thought [Americans] were irrespon-

sible. I think the idea behind “Whip It,” was “You can do it, Jimmy Carter, and you can change things in the world”. I think he was in a similar situation to our current president - in that it’s hard to be one person trying to do the right thing. So it was our “Jimmy Carter, you can do it” song.

scene: In addition to making music with Devo, you’ve scored countless � lms and television shows. How does this process compare?MM: It’s totally di� erent. Devo is dearest to my heart of anything. When you are an angry young man, you make a state-ment. � is is who I am, what I think, why I’m angry. � at’s what Devo was to me. But when you’re scoring a TV show, there is a quicker turnaround.

scene: In 2006 you released Devo 2.0, a project that had kids performing to your songs. How did this project come about?MM: We always kind of liked the idea of the kids arena [be-cause] kids don’t have pre-conceptions of pop music. � e kids thing was just something easy because with Peewee’s Playhouse, I was able to do these sound e� ect-laden things that Cyndi Lauper sang on. In the kids arena, you didn’t

have to write [a song] like something they had already heard. Doing music for kids was never something foreign to Devo.

scene: You will be stopping by Chateau Ste. Michelle win-ery with Blondie. How did this paring come about?MM: Blondie was a great band back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. We were fans from the � rst time we saw them - and kind of felt like they are kindred spirits, in their own way. So we’re fans of theirs. I think it will be an interesting evening.

Devo and Blondie play Chateau Ste. Michelle at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7. $50-$113; 14111 NE 145th St., Woodinville.

Prepare to Devolve this fall

When Nancy Montalvo and Lubas Szabo met, they were both waiting tables and saving money, but they didn’t know for what.

But a� er their Vegas wedding, the two immigrants – Montalvo is from Peru and Szabo is from Slovakia – decided it was time to start something of their own.

Setup across the street from Bellevue’s downtown library, Danube Bistro has been serving a mixture of German and Italian food for � ve years.

“� is restaurant is a dream,” Montalvo said, looking across its large shady patio to a water fountain.

� e name comes from Szabo’s days as a boy swimming in the river of the same name. � e food was inspired by their belief that there was a niche in German cuisine.

While combining the two cultures might seem unusual on this side of the Atlantic, Northern Italy is known for its Bavarian cuisine – apple strudel, dump-lings and sausage. So they added some-thing familiar to their niche, Italian.

Try the hand-� lled mushroom ravioli and � sh piccata, which is covered in a lemon butter sauce and topped with ca-pers. � e spaghetti carbonara ($15.75), spaghetti mixed with egg yolks, crispy bacon and cream, is rich. However, un-like other variations, � nishing it doesn’t feel like you’ve been punched in the gut.

Try the carbonara with the spinach salad ($7.50). Warm and sweet purple onions melt with the mushrooms, bacon and sheep cheese. � e toppings are then brightened by a red wine vinaigrette.

For those accustomed to American cuisine, the experiences can be found in German fair.

Say “Wiener Schnitzel” ($24.75) without too much giggling, and you’ll receive tender veal beat thin, fried in a � ne breading and garnished with lemons, meant to be squeezed dry over the dish.

� e Chicken Patrikash ($19.50), which is really more Hungarian, is salty. � e creamy dish is lightly seasoned with paprika, and � lled with tender strips of chicken. Forgo the rice and order it with a side of “dumplings,” which would be better named Spaetzle. � e tender noodle is made by dropping little bits of batter into boiling water.

For those in the mood to leave stu� ed, start with garlic potato pancakes ($5.50). � e dense cakes are crispy on the edges and topped with sour cream and cherry peppers.

� e not-too-sweet apple strudel would be a traditional way to end a German meal. Be forewarned, it’s loaded with raisins. It comes with a scoop of ice cream if you’re American; if you’re European, they change it to whipped cream. (A European himself, Szabo insists strudel shouldn’t be served with ice cream.)

Nancy Montalvo notes that Northern Italy is known for its Bavarian cuisine.

There’s no question that heated markets like West Bellevue, Medina and Mercer Island are a popular choice for new

residents arriving to the region. With miles of gorgeous waterfront homes, renowned school districts, ample recreation, retail, dining and residential services – the Eastside has led King County out of a real estate tailspin. But such popularity comes with a price, especially for waterfront. Perhaps that’s why more and more buyers have been eyeing Bainbridge Island as an alternative, which boasts many similar attributes but at half the price, according to local brokers.

“Like those that live on the Eastside, we enjoy independence from downtown Seattle given all the amenities found here on Bainbridge Island – this is a place where you feel like you get away to it all,” said Dennis Paige, Founding Director of the Bainbridge Island branch for Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty. “Sure, there’s the occasional business meeting, cultural happening or sporting event in the city but commuting downtown is only a half hour ferry ride away. And there are plenty days when that commute is longer (and more stressful) between Seattle and Bellevue. It’s only getting more challenging with the tolling of major routes and planned light rail initiatives.”

Comparing the trends on the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, there have been 32 waterfront home sales in 2012 within the Eastside region (areas #510 & #520) with the median home price of $2,342,000 or an average price of $656 per square foot. Over the same period there have been 52 such waterfront home sales on Bainbridge Island but the median home price was just $950,000 or an average of price just $349 per square foot.

“Bainbridge Island has long been an alternative real estate market for mainlanders but for families that know this community– it’s the preferred alternative,” adds Sonja Jones, Managing Broker and Founding Member of the Bainbridge Island branch office. “Our public schools consistently rank at the highest levels for state and national statistics. And as our storybook, seaside lifestyle becomes better known we’ll continue to see increases in real estate activity and property values.”

Skirts swirling gracefully across hardwood floors. Red tulle flowing from sparkling chandeliers. A

selection of posters promoting some of the most popular dance movies from the past 20 years. This is what you’ll see at first glance when walking into Danc-eSport International dance studios in Seattle. On any given Monday and Wednesday evening you’ll also spot Bellevue teens Sonya Tsekanovsky and Misha Voribiev.

From learning little steps in the dance studio to shining in the international spotlight, this pair of Bellevue teens has spent the past 11 years in each other’s arms – perfecting their ballroom style moves on the dance floor.

Sonya and Misha have been dancing with each other since they were 5 years old. Sonya started dancing when her dad asked if she was interested in the sport. She said yes. Misha’s mom is a former ballerina who urged her son to start dancing when he

was young. “We were in the same group of students when we were just starting and we were

paired up by our coaches,” says Misha. Eleven years later, it’s not just the bond between these friends that has stayed the

same. The amount of time and dedication to practice has also been consistent. “I practice six days a week, with at least an hour and a half of practice each day,”

says Sonya.Her mother, Marina Tsekhanovkaya, says on one particular Saturday in May, Sonya

had three dance classes filling most of the day, with a limited amount of breaks in between.

In addition to performing at school assemblies and talent shows, the pair have competed in a variety of local, national and international competitions, including one in Moscow in 2010.

On April 1, Sonya and Misha won the title of USA Dance Champions in the Youth Division of ballroom dance – a feat that qualified them for the World Championship in the 10–Dance competition. Sonya and Misha will represent the U.S. at the compe-tition in Vienna, Austria this month.

The “10” notes the 10 types of dances they are required to perform: Waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango and Viennese waltz are the five International ballroom (standard) dances – for which they will be judged. Also required are rumba, samba, paso doble (double–step), cha–cha and jive, types of Latin dances.

Let’s danceBellevue teens set to bring classic ballroom moves to world championship this month

September 2012 | TheEastsideScene.com | 11Cover StoryMisha and Sonya will each start their senior year in the fall, at International Com-

munity School in Kirkland and Bellevue High School, respectively. And while both admit that balancing school and dance has been a challenge, sum-

mer vacation has given them the opportunity to carve out more practice time. They spend three hours a week in lessons with their standard ballroom teacher Alexandria Hawkins, and three days a week practicing Latin style with coach Nataliya Sergiyenko at another studio.

“I don’t hang out with my friends and don’t sleep,” Sonya says, in regard to the gruel-ing schedule.

But despite the time crunch, they agree the thrill of competition makes sacrificing their social lives worth it.

“Feeling that you danced really well – going out and doing your best, and giving your all – and knowing you did that, is really rewarding,” Misha says.

As teenagers who have spent most of their life on the dance floor, you might think that these young people watch the TV show “Dancing With the Stars.” Surprisingly, they don’t.

“I don’t watch ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and the show has never really had an influ-ence on me as a dancer,” Misha says. “Though I do admire some of the international titles and achievements of the professional cast.”

Sonya’s favorite dancers are Luca and Loraine Baricchi. The Baricchis are professional ballroom dancers and teachers from Britain. They are two–time champions of the Professional World Ballroom Dance Championship, receiving the title in 1999 and in 2001. They retired from competitive dancing after winning the title in 2001.

Before their lesson starts you’ll find the pair in the corner of the studio, texting their friends, laughing about an inside joke. Sonya’s teasing Misha about the sweat seeping through his gray button down after just 10 minutes of practicing; Misha returns the favor when she trips over her long, Leopard–print skirt mid–move.

The platonic playfulness continues throughout their lesson with Hawkins. As they glide across the floor, necks stiff, eyes straight ahead, it’s clear that it is time to be serious. But they’re still having fun.

Hawkins is hands–on in her teaching methods, stepping in for Misha or Sonya on several occasions. A dancer for more than 20 years, the teacher slips easily into Sonya and Misha’s steps, correcting their neck positions, adjusting their limbs.

“It’s their responsibility to create balanced, beautiful shapes with movement,” says Hawkins, who has been teaching the pair standard ballroom consistently since 2009. “The wrong curva-ture of the elbow, the wrong angle of the neck, a misplaced leg, disturbs that movement.”

Hawkins’ and Sergiyenko’s jobs are to see the potential in each dancer – the vision of what they can be, what they can look like – and they’re doing everything in their power to help Misha and Sonya reach that potential.

“It’s a big deal [world’s], but it is just one more journey for them as dancers,” Hawk-ins says.

She says that if the pair continues to learn, and develop their skills, they will put forth a quality product.

“Of course I want them to win,” Hawkins says. “But a lot of the time people focus too much on winning – and on the competitiveness.”

She says the real goal is to continue to improve and to forget about beating someone else.

At this point, neither Sonya nor Misha have plans to pursue professional dance careers. And while neither knows exactly what they want to do in the future, they’re excited for the journey yet to come.

Hopefully, they say it involves dancing.

Today approximately 18 million, or 1 in 15 Americans experience Sleep Apnea, a sleep disorder involving the airway that disrupts a person’s sleep o� en leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, overall poor health, and in some cases, even death. According to Dr. Je� ery Doneskey, Oral Medicine Specialist and founder of � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center in Bellevue, therapy for the disorder can be di� cult. “� e most common treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) involves the use of a medical breathing device called a CPAP, “ said Doneskey. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, delivers air through a mask worn over the nose during sleep in order to help maintain an open airway. While CPAP can provide an e� ective solution, Doneskey reports that there are signi� cant reasons why some people are unwilling or unable to use CPAP. “For example, restless sleepers

o� en report having di� culty with getting comfortable and keeping the mask on during the night. Others may have trouble keeping a seal around the mask and must use head straps to keep their mouth closed while asleep,” said Doneskey. According to Doneskey, patients also express lifestyle concerns such as the inconvenience of taking CPAP along when they travel or go on vacation. At � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center, Doneskey reports high levels of patient satisfaction, compliance and success with a new oral appliance called “� e SilentPartner™, a jaw-friendly FDA approved oral airway dilator that Doneskey himself helped develop. According to Doneskey, � e SilentPartner is a comfortable, fully adjustable mouth appliance that allows the jaw to be safely placed in the optimum position to keep the airway open. In addition to keeping the airway open, � e SilentPartner eliminates snoring in most patients while

protecting the teeth of patients who clench during their sleep. � is appliance is so well received that according to Doneskey, more than 90 percent of his patients over the last 5 years are able to use � e Silent-Partner on a full time basis.~ Provided by Dr. Je� Doneskey

For the � rst time, six local and emerging apparel de-signers and two handbag designers, selected by a panel of fashion experts, will present a six- to eight-piece capsule collection on the runway at this year’s Bellevue Collection Fashion Week.

� e Independent Designer Runway Show is a great op-portunity for emerging designers to broaden their brand,

as their designs are not represented in any of the retail stores at � e Bellevue Collection. � e winner will receive a package that includes fashion funds, and the opportu-nity to display their designs at the Bellevue Collection for the entire month of October.

� e eight who will compete are: Anne Sylvain by Patri-cia Raskin; Ampersand As Apostrophe by Jessica Park; Bd Homme by Banchong Douangphrachanh; Built For Man by Francisco Hernandez; Carole McClellan by Carole McClellan; Kreati-ka by Kathy Sabin-Mensah; Masha Osoianu Design by Masha Osoianu; and Olga Szwed by Olga Szwed.

Stick it to me� ere are few things I despise more than having my picture taken. My column photo

is a perfect example of my photophobia. A� er many attempts to get me to smile like a normal person, we � nally gave up and decided to mask my smile with what else, but MASKing tape. Every time I see that shot, I am reminded of the many ways tape saves the day and holds our lives together.

At my house, tape, is the second most di� cult item to locate, wedged behind the demands of a working pen and my wayward hairbrush. And yet when I recently turned

the house upside down to � nd six matching nails, it seems like all I could � nd was tape, tape and more tape.

We have tape for any occasion. Just sitting at my desk I can put my hands on Scotch tape, correction tape and double-sided tape. Scattered throughout the house we have permanent and removable poster tape, photo tape, blue tape and the new even MORE removable green painter’s tape.

Of course we also have athletic tape, � rst aid tape and a few accidentally purchased rolls of o� -brand and ignored “Cello Tape.”

My absolute favorite way to use tape is for gi� wrap-ping, so naturally we have pop-up wrist dispensers and special satin tape that supposedly doesn’t show on decora-tive paper — lies! Crystal clear or double-stick are better

choices. I imagine that the reason Santa doesn’t have to work in the o� -season is that he had the good sense to become an early investor in 3M. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the board is top heavy with elves!

Santa is also a trend spotter. He was stu� ng my kids’ stocking with fat rolls of Duct Tape long before brands like Alex Toys and Fashion Angels caught on.

I have learned to rely on tape to get me out of trouble; from emergency hems to taping on a malfunctioning diaper, tape is the ultimate Band-Aid. But sometimes tape is just too awesome, too fun, and too ubiquitous for its own good. In fact tape may be corrupt-ing America’s youth … or maybe it’s just corrupting my youth.

Tape is notably absent from school supply lists. I think I know why. A recent call from school (not telling which one) informed me that while my child was “not in trouble” they wanted me to be aware that he or she brought Duct Tape to school that was then used by other presumably “in trouble” children to tape innocent bystanders to posts and bind them to each other.

I pretended to be appalled by my child’s lapse in judgment and a� er reverifying for the record that no o� cial rules had been broken and that this call was strictly informational, I boldly encouraged the administrator to stick it to them.

BY KEEGAN PROSSER

Comedian Bill Bellamy may be best known for being the man that coined the term “Booty Call,” but he’s been up to a lot more since then. In addition to recently releasing his Showtime special “Crazy, Sexy, Dirty,” Bellamy can be seen back on TV this fall star-ring in the sitcom “Mr. Box O� ce” with Jon Lovitz, Gary Busey and Vivica A. Fox.

� e eldest of three children, Bellamy says he uses his real life experiences - as a funny guy, a father and an entertainer - as stepping-stones to his comedy. His groundbreaking new comedy tour, “Ladies Night Out,” featuring some of today’s hottest comics, comes to the Parlor later this month.

scene: I hear you got in to comedy as a result of enter-ing a male beauty pageant. Can you tell me about that? Bill Bellamy: � ere was a big sorority that did it every year at my college. And I just wanted to win that mon-ey. I was a struggling college student - and I thought if I could win $500, I could party and buy some books. So for my talent, I did comedy.

scene: You’ve been credited as the man who coined the term “Booty Call” (during Def Jam Comedy Jam). Can you speak to how that came about?BB: I wrote a joke about how guys call girls late on a Friday nights (to come over). And I had been doing [the joke] in clubs and people were just freaking out - they thought it was hilarious. It’s so funny because I didn’t know it was gonna take it o� like that - and now people are like ‘Oh, that’s a Booty Call.’

scene: Can you describe your act in one word?BB: Crazysexydirty. I say that because that’s my new comedy special out on DVD right. And if I’m ever asked to put myself in one category, it’d have to be all those words. � ey are the three aspects of my person-ality.

scene: You talk about musicians a lot in your comedy (Lil Wayne, Beyonce, Jay-Z). Why do these people provide for good material? BB: � ey’re such good personas that people are famil-iar with - and what I talk about are generally things [about them] that people don’t notice until I talk about it.

scene: Can you give a speci� c example? BB: Like Lil Wayne - he is really talented. But he is re-ally hard to look at. He’s really weird looking.

scene: You’re also an actor. How does acting in a movie di� er from stand-up?

BB: With stand-up, there is instant response. You see right away if people like your joke. But with movies, you don’t know how it will end up - you don’t know if people will see it, or if people will like it, or if you will get edited down. For me, every time I am on screen, I try to do my best. And I hope the part that they keep is golden.

scene: You have two young children. Do you think be-ing a dad has in� uenced or changed your comedy? BB: I think it’s given me di� erent departments to go into. Now I see my life as a dad, and what my parents were trying to explain to me. [My kids] bring such a di� erent amount of emotion and experience that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t have them. And I cherish that.

scene: You previously hosted “Last Comic Standing” and “Who’s Got Jokes,” shows in which new comics compete. What are you looking for when it comes to new talent?BB: I’m looking for uniqueness - people with their own perspective, their own style. And these guys that I am bringing out [for the Ladies Night Out tour] - they are just downright, outrageously funny. � ey’ll make you spit out your water.

scene: What can fans expect from the Ladies Night Out tour?BB: We are going to make the ladies go crazy. We’re crazy, too. We’re just gonna party together.

scene: So what do you have coming up next? BB: My new show, “Mr. Box O� ce,” is premiering this fall and it will be syndicated in Seattle.

Bellamy brings his “Ladies Night Tour 2012” to Parlor Live Comedy Club Sept. 28-30. $15-30. www.parlorlive.com.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s well known novel “The Great Gatsby” was the inspiration for an evening that celebrated true luxury living as more than 200 guests attended a recent garden party event at one of Mt. Baker’s most noted historical homes.

Guests arrived in Gatsby inspired fashions from the roaring ’20s and were treated by East-

side businesses including savory hors d’oeuvres from John Howie along with wines from DeLille Cellars and O Wines. Masin’s Fine Furniture and Interior De-sign staged this beautiful estate with luxurious furnishings to compliment the Gatsby theme.

It was impressive to see a marketing spin on an event like this one. Luxe magazine and

Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty were able to bring the best of brands together from wine, food, real estate, automobiles, design, spirits and art, to cross align with like-minded business-es and host a special evening for their collective top clientele.

The Realogics Sotheby’s offices were opened over a year ago with over 50 agents under the ownership and leadership of Dean Jones, CEO and president, and his wife, Stacy Jones, vice president. “We saw a natural shift in both the Seattle and Eastside marketplaces becoming more cosmopolitan and international,” the couple said. “We knew that an alignment with a global international brand was the right partnership for us and our business growth.”

This event stands out as being one of this sum-mer’s most memorable.

BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMAN

Woodinville is far from the state’s vineyards, but it has long been home to Washington’s oldest and best-known winery. And thanks to the success of that producer — Chateau Ste. Michelle — more than 70 wineries and tast-ing rooms now crowd that city.

Ste. Michelle opened its chateau in 1976. At the time, few understood the move to what was then a remote area of King County. But wine lovers came in droves, and today more than 300,000 visit Ste. Michelle each year for wine tasting, events and concerts.

With this foundation, Woodinville has grown to a su-perb destination. Between new wineries that call Woodin-ville home and producers that have opened satellite tasting rooms, visitors will � nd more than 70 places to visit.

One can easily spend a long weekend in Woodinville or make it an a� ernoon trip.

Here are a few wines from Woodinville producers we’ve tasted recently. Ask for them at your favorite wine mer-chant or order directly from the wineries.

Pondera Winery 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Co-lumbia Valley, $28: � is big, bold wine opens with aromas of boysenberries, black tea, blueberries, mint and fresh-out-of-the-oven brownies. It’s a big wine in every way and should be enjoyed with grilled meats.

Baer Winery 2009 Ursa, Columbia Valley, $39: A blend of Cabernet Franc (44 percent), Merlot (38 percent), Cabernet Sauvignon (9 percent) and Malbec, this brings hints of blueberry cobbler, dried cranberry, violet and sweet oak tones of tobacco and black pepper. � e drink is dang delicious with its theme of inky blue fruit, bittersweet chocolate and Aussie black licorice.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2008 Ethos Reserve Caber-net Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $38: � e attrac-tion begins with its inky nose of black cherry extract and includes raspberry, root beer and woodru� , backed by humidor aromas and the cured meat mark of Syrah. � is wine should continue to evolve for the next � ve to eight years. In the meantime, enjoy with a porterhouse.

William Church Winery 2009 Philip’s Vintage Gamache Vineyard Malbec, Columbia Valley, $30: � is Bordeaux variety is made with a fruit-forward ap-proach that’s � lled with intoxicating aromas of blueber-ry, boysenberry, plum, dried currant, fresh � g, chai and Jolly Rancher grape candy. � ere’s not much oak, little tannin and delicious pie cherry acidity. It’s polished o� with hints of black olive and mocha espresso.
