Tasting the whole store today, Gary?

I give the spit bucket a solid 90+

“Dirty dancing all over your palate”……..”Darth Vader all up in your grill”

Thats gotta be two of the best TN ever!!!!!

I love Owen Roe Washington efforts. They have delivered consistent quality since I discovered them in the late 90’s. One harvest of Columbia river Syrah was affected by the smoke of a wildfire which produced an incredible wine. WL carries them.

wow… what a blockbuster episode today. Funniest TNs I have ever heard. But seriously GV, a unicorn? Are you kidding me…

Anyway, I dont think I have had any real washington state wines. I haven’t even had fake ones. But I am going to seek out some real ones.

2001 powers meritage…which i adored

Being from Washington state, it’s both exciting and sad to watch the industry hit the world stage. Quality has certainly gone up, but so have prices and (to be blunt) snobbery. Guess you have to take the bad with the good, though. Best WA red I’ve drank was a Merlot from Leonetti. They developed a cult status in the early 90’s, then got bashed for a while, but I’ve found his wines to be terrific as long as you enjoy the old world style. For whites I’ve been very impressed with Ch. St. Michelle’s Chardonnays. Oaky, but with plenty of stuffing. In the $20-30 range, look for Terra Blanca wines. They’re all great.

Gary,
Ambitious episode. Great job. Very intriguing. You also hit all the price points. I have not tried any Washington state wines to my knowledge, but now I do not fear them!

Free Georgia from the enslavement of our idiotic legislative oppressors! Wine Library can no longer ship to me and that is complete bullsh!t! (Pardon my French, but there’s simply no other way to put it.)

We have to change the wine world and fix this idiotic, archaic system. So frickin ridiculous it’s unbelievable.
