I've tasted a lot of things, but every time I stop in, he has something for me to try that I have never tasted before! Always trust his recommendations. The shop itself is huge and full of amazing wines. The tasting list is diverse and large and they are super flexible in allowing guests to build their own tastings from the list. They also have some snacks! The outdoor area is right on the water and is absolutely lovely. I could spend the whole afternoon out there! For the past two years, my mom and I have joined them for their wine and crab cruises and nothing compares to them- absolute magic. This place is a total gem!

We took an evening tour out of La Conner through the slough and toward Deception Pass, sliding…read moreunder the bridge and out into open water. Along the way we saw numerous ospreys, eagles, harbor seals, arctic terns, etc. Although this wasn't advertised as a whale watching tour, we did see a small whale feeding that breached the water nearby at least a dozen times before we returned to La Conner! This was a wonderful two and a half hour boat ride and I highly recommend it.

I live in La Conner and frequently walk my dog down first street around the time people are making their way to the tour. At least two days a week, I encounter customers that are totally lost. Some of them are waking East away from the water and others are walking towards the marina. I even encountered one group a half mile away at the North Basin of the La Conner Marina. I alway tell them how to get to the boat.

There are about five parking spots in the small lot right next to the museum and street parking otherwise. The day that we went was actually the first day that it was open after being closed for a while. We explored some of the exhibits and one thing that caught our eye was an art piece that seemingly had some trash (like a burger bun wrapper) which was confusing. When we left we talked to the docent and she explained that it's there on purpose and many people had been asking about the very same thing. There were also some other exhibits of local artists on both the first and second floors. There's also a gift shop if you want to shop around. It's a nice place to check out some local art and support local artists.

Had a cup of their coffee Friday morning, and it was so good, we returned Saturday morning to enjoy another cup o' Joe. I'm a raven, so finding anything about ravens is exceptional and rare. Lots to look at here. Spent far too much money doing it. What's a raven, you might ask? If you have to ask, the distinction won't make an impression on you. For those that know, they're ravens, too, It's a safeguard thing: Odin made the raven an imparter of wisdom. Anyway... This is a great store! The proprietress is a fascinating individual with whom I loved talking, and if we hadn't had a mandatory obligation 80 miles away at an appointed time, I probably would have spent more time and money (yes!) in the store. It's on my list of places to revisit when we return to La Conner.

On multiple occasions, they have made me feel bad about asking any questions at all about the menu or not ordering quickly enough. They seem put out by serving customers. The last time I was in, I had a question about the size of a beverage, and the woman was not only rude to me, but she proceeded to talk rudely about me behind my back when I was in the bathroom and my friend who was waiting for me overheard at all. I guess they have enough business, because they feel like they can treat customers like crap. The coffee is nowhere near good enough to treat people this way, as well.

They have a great, inexpensive and unpretentious wine list with plenty by the glass. We split a glass of rose and it was lovely! The food was just okay. They bragged about having large portions but our $18 cheese plate was a small snack for sure. It also said it came with fruit and chocolate and they only brought out the cheese, crackers, and nuts. Not sure if they were out, we didn't have enough time to talk to our server to figure this out. The servers were all in a huge hurry and missed a lot. I know they were busy and don't completely blame them, but it was definitely amiss. They asked if we wanted more wine and we said no, so they cleared our food quickly even though we were still eating. They also put a reserved sign on our table while we were still there (we only stayed maybe 25-30 min) and told us that someone else wanted our table. It was kind of rude and we felt super rushed by the servers. We really felt like we were being hurried out and didn't get the full experience. They also took our water glasses and dumped them on the ground next to us while we were still sitting and before we were done. They could not have been more blatant about wanting us to go even though we weren't there long. I would probably revisit on a slower day to see if things improved, but the service wasn't great.

I'm not a big fan of gift stores, but both my companion and I were HIGHLY impressed with the very well stocked cigar humidor in the rear of the store.

After we purchased a few favorites, in our AirBnb that evening, we enjoyed a couple of tots of bourbon and two vanilla infused cigarellos - the perfect end to the first day of our vacation getaway.

For all of us, the highlight of the trip was definitely seeing and hanging out with the two incredible Orca pods. It was memorable without compare. I was especially pleased that I was able to take some great video of the Orcas and wonderful photos of my grandchildren.

I have high expectations, and the Mesman's exceeded them. We picked up some hamburger patties for connivence and ate those first. That was some of the best hamburger I ever had. In a lifetime of eating grass-fed beef those hamburgers stood out for intense, rich flavor. Ordering was easy. They have their common cuts listed on their website. You email in your order. (If you want something that's not listed, just ask). I was hoping for same-day pickup to take advantage of a rare sunny day. I left my phone number and they called me back within an hour to confirm they had everything I wanted except the lamb. One beautiful drive up, it was all ready to go. I gave them my card and off I went. Easy as pie. The place is attractive, easy to find with navigation, clean, and everyone's friendly. Even the sweet old dog resting in the sun came over to say 'hi' before we left.
