Do you remember your first concert that you went to? I do, it was just two weeks ago. My wife (Dionne) and I bought tickets to the Gipsy Kings concert that was being held at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville.
Chateau Ste. Michelle celebrated their 25th anniversary of summer concerts and has now become one of the biggest concert gatherings in the Pacific Northwest.
This was my very first concert and I got to experience it with my wife (Dionne). I had a picnic basket filled with tapas, bread, olives, prochiuto, smoked salmon, cheese, and two wine bottles to enjoy while watching the concert. As we went through security check they told me that I was not able to bring my camera and wine unless it's from Chateau Ste. Michelle.
I bought Dionne a Riesling from Chateau Ste. Michelle, but the cabernet that I had was from another vineyard. So, I took the wine bottle and my camera back to the car. I then returned and went through security once more and then met up with Dionne.

I went and picked up a bottle of merlot from Chateau Ste. Michelle sales store and got to enjoy it with the food that I brought.

I would do this again, if the Gipsy Kings were in town. Here are a few songs that we got to enjoy and want to share them with you.
