My mom returned to Patit Creek Restaurant in Dayton, Washington, a favorite from 23 years ago



I enjoyed it, too!



Home, with wines and corks to show for our travels. We ran out of room in our cooler, and were concerned about the drive through the desert, so some Washington red wines are being shipped to us as the weather cools. We'll get to relive and share our trip as we enjoy our wines!
