We landed in Boise, ID today at about 4pm. Our first stop was the Sierra Trading Post, where I bought three new outfits and two new pairs of shoes, including a pair of Brook’s Defyance (3), my running shoe of choice.

We’re settled into our motel room now, checking email on our respective netbooks and watching Ichiro (on TV) play for the Yankees (sigh, sniff).

Tomorrow we plan to hit Walla Walla AND Yakima for some wine tasting. Wine is among my great loves (I know, there are many of them…. I love a lot of things/people/creatures). How about if I keep notes on my favorite tastes and make some recommendations in my next post? What do you like? Red? White? I’m looking for a new house red now that the liquor stores in Washington have closed and I can no longer easily get Hyatt’s red label wines.

I’ve tasted wine on 5 continents, and I still think Washington wines are the best. Whether you’re a runner or not, you’ve gotta love wine! Stay tuned.
