Dumplings have always been more than food to me. They’re part comfort and heritage, but also one of my favourite ways to bring people together, which is exactly why I started Wallala Dumplings .

This year, Wallala has been on pause.

Without the SMAK tasting room (our usual dumpling pickup spot) and with me spending so much more time on the road, I simply didn’t have the hours to make dumplings.

And now?

Those hands are deep in harvest. 🍇

I miss it, though. A lot.

Food has always been such an important part of how I share my heritage, how I connect with people, and ultimately how I think about w**e.

So Wallala isn’t gone. I’m really hoping we can get the dumpling crew back together for something fun before the year is over.

Until then, Happy National Dumpling Day. Eat a few extra for me. 🥟❤️

Soaking up the last rays of summer in Bainbridge Island.

Wandered down Winslow Way to Bruciato the other day for a wood-fired pizza and a glass of SMAK Autumn Rosé (now officially on the menu!) 🍕🥂

Because the seasons may be changing, but the rosé doesn’t have to.

Summer out. Autumn in. 🍂

SMAK Autumn Rosé with pizza marinara and Caesar salad. Can’t go wrong with classics.

Fall equinox is here, that little in-between moment when we’re not quite ready to let summer go, but we’re starting to feel autumn creeping in.

And honestly, we can’t think of a better place to spend it than Bainbridge Island.

9 vintages later and apparently Fiona Mak still solves w**emaking problems by climbing on top of things.

Some harvest traditions involve picking bins and punchdowns, mine starts with rosé. 🍾🌹

9 vintages ago, on the very first day of SMAK’s first harvest, Peter Peter Urian showed up with a bottle of Rosé Ch*****ne and a bouquet of pink roses.
And he’s done it every year since.

Peter is a w**emaker too, for The Walls Vineyards just down the road, so he knows what that first day means : the anticipation, the nerves, the excitement, and the very long days that are about to begin for the both of us.

Today, as SMAK begins its 9th vintage, there they were again. 🌹

Would you expect anything else? 🥂

What you see vs. what I see. 🍇

You see pretty grapes.

I see one shot to get this right.

At SMAK, our still rosés are single vineyard and single varietal. I don’t make a red w**e from the same fruit. I don’t get to decide later what I want it to become.

This fruit was chosen to become rosé.

So when I walk the vineyard at harvest, I’m looking at everything.

The flavor. The acidity. The sugar. The seeds. The weather. The vineyard. How much longer I can hang. Whether today is the day or whether one more day could make all the difference.

Because once I make that picking call, there’s no going back.

That’s what makes harvest so exhilarating. After an entire growing season of watching and waiting, there is this tiny window when potential becomes a decision.

And eventually, that decision becomes the w**e in your glass.

It’s harvest time. No pressure 😅

This past weekend, watching families line the sidewalks for Wheelin’ Walla Walla, waiting for classic cars to parade through our neighborhoods, I kept thinking about what that word really means.

Community is more than where you live.

It’s the people who show up.

A few weeks ago, I watched this community show up when we came together to raise $4,000 for the Spokane Wildfire Response Fund. And today, as I send that check on its way, I’m reminded again of just how grateful I am to call Walla Walla home.

People often say to me, “Wow, New York City to Walla Walla. That must have been a big change.”

It was.

I came here for school. The community convinced me to stay.

New York had plenty of the glamour people imagine it has. But Walla Walla gave me something I didn’t know I was looking for: people who supported me, kept me grounded, showed up for me and, in turn, gave me the space and opportunity to show up for others.

Over the years, this community has supported my dreams, my business and the person I’ve become. Being able to give some of that support back means more to me than I can put into words.

And now, as I begin my 14th harvest in Walla Walla, I think I understand community a little differently than I did when I first arrived.

It isn’t simply the place you choose to live.

It’s choosing to show up for one another, again and again.

I’m glad I chose Walla Walla.
And I’m even more grateful that Walla Walla chose me back. ❤️

A little bit of France, right here in Walla Walla. 🇫🇷🍷

We’re so excited to welcome Brasserie Four to the SMAK family, and even happier that Autumn Rosé has found a home on their incredible wall of w**e.

This downtown Walla Walla institution has long been a favourite of Fiona Mak and her husband Peter. They’ve been having their regular order - Spicy Tomato Moules Frites for her, Steak Frites for him - for over a decade now.

Next time you’re downtown Walla Walla, stop in, stay awhile, and pick out SMAK Autumn Rosé from their w**e fridge. 🍂🥂

$4,000. 🩷

What started as a small idea to help our Spokane neighbors became something so much bigger because of all of you. Together, we raised $4,000 for the Spokane Wildfire Response Fund.

Thank you to The Drayman House for donating the space , The Mill in Downtown Walla Walla - Grab & Go Market for donating the delicious food , and the SMAK-Artifex team - Annie, Emma, Neil and Sophia - for donating their time.

To everyone who came, purchased w**e from near and far, donated, shared our posts, and helped spread the word, thank you, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Walla Walla, you showed us what it means when one Washington community shows up for another. 🫶

TOMORROW!! Can we raise $5,000 for our Spokane neighbors?! 🩷🔥

We think we can, but we need YOU.

Tomorrow, we’re taking over Drayman House for an evening of w**e, snacks, community, and giving back, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the Spokane Wildfire Response Fund.

Can’t make it? Our w**e sales will be donated too!

Huge thank you to The Drayman House and The Mill in Downtown Walla Walla - Grab & Go Market for their generous donation to make this event happen!
