On a tour of Terra Blanca winery - the cellar was an obvious stop.
This is the Wallula Gap looking west. It is here that the massive floods during the ice age had to slow down to make it through the gap and on down the Columbia River basin. Because the gap slowed the water the sediment was able to fall to the bottom of the water creating sediment which is very rich - and good soil for allowing a winery. The downside (but upside for winery) is low rain, so all agriculture needs irrigation.
Another great dinner called me away from the fourth deck and picture taking....
