L. and I recently discovered that one of the fun parts of wedding planning is figuring out the alcohol to serve at the reception. Our facility is restricted to wine, beer, and champagne only, so no yummy hard liquor concoctions, but we've had a good time with the other tastings.
After our research, we've decided on the following selections:
Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay, Columbia Valley 2006
Columbia Winery 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale
Redhook's Blonde Ale and Black Hook Porter
The cool thing is that Columbia Crest, Columbia Winery, and Redhook are all local here in Washington. Buffalo Bill's Brewery is in California, so it's the only one from out of state, but it's so good that we just couldn't pass it up for a fall wedding!
We got the Chardonnay and Pumpkin Ale today. We ran out of room in the car, so we'll have to get the Cab Sauv tomorrow. We'll also get the Redhook tomorrow, when they have their Micro Monday special, where you buy one case and get the second case at 1/2 off. Every little bit of money saved helps. L. about died when he figured out how much we were spending on alcohol alone, but it will be worth it. Plus, any leftovers will come back to our house, so we can use the rest at another time.
