TASTE WINES THAT ARE THE TOAST OF THE WHITE HOUSE AT TULALIP
Owner/Winemaker Rolando Herrera of Mi Sueño Featured Guest at Fiesta Wine and Dine Event
Tulalip sommelier Tommy Thompson knows how seductive the outdoors can be during the long, hot days of mid-summer. His next "Taste with Tommy", a fiesta event, will be held Saturday, August 6th on the mpulse Lounge patio and feature the top rated wines of Mi Sueño. Rolando Herrera, owner and winemaker of this boutique winery that is Spanish for "my dream", will be the featured guest at the wine and dine evening. Mi Sueño, located in California's Napa Valley, has been honored to have a wine served on three separate occasions at White House state dinners. At Tulalip, guests will have the opportunity to taste six of Herrera's wines from the silky Los Carneros Chardonnay to vibrant Pinot Noirs, dark fruit Cabernets and the tantalizing El Llano Cabernet and Syrah blend.

Michoacán born Rolando began work at Stag's Leap Winery at the age of 17 as a laborer and during his tenure there, spent the last seven as Cellar Master. With twenty-plus years in the industry, he has worked as assistant winemaker at Chateau Potelle, winemaker at Vine Cliff Winery and Director of Winemaking at Paul Hobbs Consulting. Each job has played a significant role in refining his style of winemaking. He founded Mi Sueño with the philosophy that "great wine is made in the vineyard". Rather than purchasing fruit from a variety of growers, Rolando has taken the slightly different approach of long-term leasing where the winery actually manages and farms the land itself. This gives ultimate control of the process from start to finish.
The Mi Sueño Fiesta and Tasting event will take place from 5:00 to 9:00 pm, and is priced at $110 Pre-purchase and $125 at the door, inclusive. For more information call (360) 716-1239.
