As a lifelong Washington resident, Im glad to see the wines bringing some thunder. Although you didnt seem to be blown away, you were at least giving them some praise, and I have to be happy for that. Im planning on doing a wine trip to Walla Walla or Yakima with my parents this year, so that should be some good times. QOTD: As I am still new to getting into wines and such, I havent tried a ton from this area. I do really like the Chateau St. Michelle Muscat Canelli though.

QOTD – Right now, the Harlequin 2004 Minick Vinyard Syrah is my all-time favorite Washington Wine. A close second would be the Wilridge 2004 Syrah.

Gary, please make this episode a classic! Mott, link it up on the sidebar! This is my 2nd time watching this episode, and I think it’s a great example of the freshness that GV brings to the table AND a great little peak at what’s going on in Washington. As a Seattelite, I LOVE WASHINGTON WINE! Please, vayniacs, give a few a try if you haven’t already done so!

Best I had in 2007…? K Vitners Cougar Mountain Syrahhhhhhhhh. For 35 US dollars it was amazing. I’m also a huge fan of Fielding Hills Syrahhhhs. A small boutique with a massive fast growing reputation. Fall Line Red Mountain meritage blends are outstanding. And, of course if you can get a Quilceda Creek, damn,…that is the S!
Syrahhhhhhhhh

Loved the episode, I have to agree with the Chatter creek (their syrah is better). I have many favorites, but if pressed, I would have to say 2001 Northstar Merlot. I adore Sineann Pinot Noir (the vino-seals they use are very elegant) and so is the wine. For big reds- Leonetti (not very affordable anymore).

Best Washington wine has got to be Facelli 2005 Lemberger. Wonderful nose and long tast.

im a viticulture student at washington state university tri city campus. Had a seminar from the head winemaker at pepperbridege(Jean Francois Pellet) last wednesday. He grew up in a swiss family his father a winemaker. He’s produced wine in Switzerland, bordeoux, Napa Valley, and Washington presently. New school meets old school Vaynerchuk! Your good people and for the record I agree with the tom Brady referance. We are located in the heart of the columbia valley and wanna give props for washington wine country! I wanna see an episode on cheap columbia valley cabs. bernard Griffin, pepperbridge, seth ryan, hedges (CMS), terra blanca, tamarack cellers (fire house red is fantasticand my future best man is an intern doin the dirty work in the vineyard and cellar). These are the $10-$15 columbia cabs. Synopsis: Visit Washington Wine Country (Via Tri-City) and enjoy life as a vayniac!

Best Washington State merlot and best merlot maker in America is Andrew Will. Try Andrew Will Ciel Du Cheval merlot. It’s quite expensive at any where from $60 – $95 a bottle.
