Welcome to the new business in town. "Jacob Williams Winery" owned and operated by northwest born Brad Gearhart and staffed by a local crew. Brad brought his "The Dalles Dry Hollow Vineyard" to Lyle and with the new location came the new name, which is in honor of his two sons, Jacob and William. The location is at 34 State Street (Hwy 14) and the phone numbers are (509) 637-2885 or toll free (888) 594-6363. Tasting Room Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday mid- April through November. While chatting with Brad we got a quote from a "self described California wine snob" customer Lynda Kolberg from San Jose, "If you like big jammy red wines this is your place. It is incredibly, unbelievable." Check out its web site at www.JacobWilliamsWinery.com for special events or to sign up for their wine club.
Watch out for the school busses, and the children walking to and from school. By the time this comes out school will be back in session for the fall. If you have free time and enjoy children this would be a great time to get involved by volunteering. The staff encourages parents and others to help with class projects, reading, etc. Call the school and see what you can do to share your knowledge and talents with others.
The Twin Bridges Museum was visited by a direct descendent of the founders of this community. Mollie Lefevre is the great-granddaughter of G.O. Lyle. She brought a box full of Lyle family pictures and memorabilia as a gift to the museum, all which will be worked into a display for the next time it is open. The museum is growing and some day will be a gem for this community.
The Song of the Rivers (a history of Lyle by Elizabeth McDowell): "IV THE NEW LYLE -- The Woman's Club House is the remodeled service station section of the old Lyle Garage, which was moved there to make room for the present Lyle Mercantile Store. The men of the Lyle Commercial Club built on additional space and the Woman's Club modernized the kitchen. The Club House was recently repainted and the porch and steps were renewed."
