Walla Walla - wine region

Our initial itinery had one day of wine tasting in the Walla Walla region, but being a day ahead of schedule we thought we might take our time and make it two days.
Our drive from Hells Canyon turned out to be much shorter than originally planned, so we were in town and ready to go by about 2pm. We tasted wines at Canoe Ridge and Zerba wineries. Sadly a few others we stopped off at were closed, recovering from a big wine festival held the day before we arrived. Zerba was especially good, with a few really nice reds, and a cute little puppy dog to play with. We bought a bottle to take to Kristy up in Seattle.
After some snacks in our hotel (something like Budget Inn Walla Walla, worst customer service so far in America, but nice rooms), we headed to a brew bar in town.
We met a local guy, Reggie, who was a very interesting guy. We shelled peanuts and threw the shell on the floor, which was really doing christines head in, sooo dirty!
Christine did however really like the beers, so we stayed a bit longer than we expected.
