The snow is here.
As I write this, we are receiving our first snowfall of 2025 in Walla Walla. It is the time to bundle up with friends and family and reflect on the year that has been. It seems crazy we are here, starting December 2025 in what seems to be a rush to kill time. What a year it has been however! Certainly for me, 2025 for been a life changing year. So many tough days, amazing days, fun days, and trying days, but that is what makes us human. In the end, hopefully the good outweighs the bad.
As I reflect, I’m grateful for so many new friends with our new location. I am grateful for the new location, which is really everything I hoped it would be, but so much more that I didn’t expect. Sure, we are still working on it and will be maybe forever, lol, but it has turned into a place I really enjoy going to everyday. It’s great to see so many of you enjoying the space and having a good time. It really makes it so rewarding. With this new location we left behind a tourist attraction, and became a locals hangout, a gathering spot, a spot for the community. I have seen many birthday parties, anniversaries, and after work parties, along with watching so many big games with you in just such a short time. Eternal has become a spot for your biggest moments as well as your much needed smaller, daily breaks from whatever you’re dealing with. I thank you for bringing us into your life.
Holiday Barrel weekend is this weekend. We will be tasting out of the barrel! I have selected our 2021 Drink Washington State Pinot Noir which will be part of our Spring Release, and our 2025 Eternal Lust Albarino. We will be offering pre-sale discounts on both along with light snacks.
We, of course, have some great concerts on Friday night for this month. We welcome Pamela Thomas-Martin for the first time on Dec. 5th. We then roll into local favorites Diego Romero, Gary Winston and Danger Contaminated.
We have a sold-out paint and sip event on December 7th. We are going to be doing these on a more regular basis going forward. I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s gnome painting on Sunday! I am sure mine will be a true Picasso. Dare I say, I still miss my best bud.
Our wines have won more awards (yawn, I know). It’s not their fault they are so delicious and interesting. Our Drink Washington State Chardonnay won Platinum and scored 94 points in the Best of the best platinum wine competition. This wine is an ager if you like older whites, but it is tasting nice now if you want a fuller but tropical Chardonnay.
We have 4 more comedy events on the books, the last Saturday of Jan, Feb, March and April! Our facebook or emails are the best place to keep up to date with these shows.
We have some new daily events. We are now doing karaoke on Saturday nights when we don’t show a UFC PPV event. We are presently into our winter hours and are closed on Tuesdays. We are also opening 30 minutes later Mon-Sat, resulting in either 11 or 11:30am now.
We open at 9:30am on Sundays for football and are serving Micheladas and mimosas by the glass. Memo’s has agreed to do 2 for $5 breakfast tacos for Sunday mornings. Join us for your favorite game. We feature 7 different games each Sunday. We play the games with sound all day on Sundays, in addition to Thursday and Monday nights. Monday nights are our big promotion nights. We give away 2 jerseys each Monday night. If you want to stock your closet with free awesome jerseys, you need to be present on Monday nights. We do a raffle for the jerseys with 1 ticket for everyone who shows up and another for each drink you buy. Get a bottle of wine and receive 4 tickets! We pick the winners at the beginning of the 4th quarter and winners must be present. 2 jerseys each week.
