Those aren’t the best representations of what winemakers in washington are doing right now. Rulo’s Viognier, Syncline’s Roussanne and Cor Cellars Alba (Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer) are much better plays of what Washington is capable of. I wonder who picked those out for G.

Ouch. Overall thats a tough first showing. Has to be hard calling it like it is with some of the winemakers in the room with you but I respect you for not bending over.

Personally I haven’t been too psyched about Washington whites, but I haven’t had any Viogner from there and I’ll seek that one out.

Just for the record GV I’m raising my hand as someone from WA that didn’t like the Cougar Crest!! Well….didn’t love it. I’m picking up a ton of oak from a lot of wines from CC.

I’m ready for part 2!!!

Way to tell it like it is, regardless of the audience. Hopefully the winemakers know that we vanyiacs know that every palate is different!

Hey Gary,
Sorry I missed you in Seattle. I am trying to open the tasting room in Prosser, WA and getting married next month back in Kansas City. TOO MUCH on the plate. Well you know what that is like. Great shows as always. You mentioned Albarino. Obviously you didn’t forget I mentioned it. Next week we will be planting 7 acres of it in a real sweet spot in the Yakima Valley. Very excited to start making some of this. Been a fan for years. Will definitely send a sample in 2010 from the tiny amount we get on second leaf.
Have a great weekend.

Gary!! So great to meet you in person. Enjoyed being able to attend a live taping of your show – very cool. Thought you were right on with your reviews of the whites. Disappointed that they didn’t present you with a better array of what WA has to offer! I look forward to seeing the reds portion of the show. Hope you get back to see us again real soon!
