		<description><![CDATA[It was a difficult decision to attend Taste Washington 2011 because my heart just wasn&#8217;t into tasting wine at this particular time, much less write about it. Partly due to a little burn-out on blogging about wine and partly because the wineries I write about here in Washington rarely seem to appreciate the mentions. Granted, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe that right here in Microsoft&#8217;s backyard, most wineries know very little about social media.
