Short Trips
WALLA WALLA -- First came the Cayuse, the Yakamas and the Nez Perce, then Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and then the Presbyterians.
The farmers with their wheat and peas and sweet onions were next, then came three colleges and a state prison.
But you ought to see Walla Walla now. It has caught more than lightning in a bottle.
It's the wine.
Safe to say, though, that if it's Three-Buck-Chuck that lights your wick, the closest Trader Joe's is four hours west.

Short Trips
WALLA WALLA Karla Broughten, tasting-room hostess for L'Ecole No. 41 Winery, hoisted a bottle of chardonnay over an array of other wine bottles on the counter and carefully poured Jeff and Susan Lyon from Tacoma each a splash.
Like good wine tasters, Jeff and Susan each sniffed the wine first to check its bouquet and then sloshed it around the inside of the glass for a few laps before drinking it. It was Jeff's 51st birthday and the couple had flown to Walla Walla to celebrate for two days.
