It has long been rumored that the few rows of vines at the entrance to Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville, Wash., were required so the winery could be called a "chateau."
PROSSER -- Construction is expected to start soon on the next phase of what backers say will be the state's premier educational and promotional center for Washington's wines and food products.
Zin is California’s grape, that’s for certain.
No where else is this Croatian variety so widely planted. Because of the success of red Zin (vs. white Zin, a sweet blush that is given little serious consideration beyond cocktail hour), other regions are looking at the grape, including the Pacific Northwest.
As a result, a minature revolution of sorts is occuring in Washington with Zinfandel. Much of the vineyard acreage is in the Columbia Gorge, where hot days and constant breezes produce superior quality. A few wineries are crafting Zins that are proving in competitions to be the equals to some of California’s best. Expect this niche to grow through the years.
