Keep Walking to 'Scotchtober' at Willows Lodge

Where: 14580 N.E. 145th Street [map], Woodinville, WA, United States, 98072

We hear the word "Rocktober," and we're instantly transported back to our Philly youth, when the 93.3 WMMR radio DJ's would belt it out with a reverb echo effect every chance they got. It kinda sucked, because October was (and still is) our favorite month, and the cheese factor of these overly schticky on-air personalities has stuck in our head for years. We'll get over it. Le sigh.

Instead of "Rocktober," some folks have, dare we say, more civilized visions of what this autumnal month means. For many, it's "Oktoberfest," a 16-day festival centered about consuming copious amounts of beer, schweinsbraten and sauerkraut. Oh yeah, and wearing sexy lace-up dirndls. But at Barking Frog at Willows Lodge in Woodinville (Seattle's answer to wine country, although most of the AVA's grapes are actually grown in Eastern Washington), it can only mean one, high-proof thing -- "Scotchtober."
