The way things are going in Washington these days, the above headline needs a bit more information - because it seems like a Walla Walla winery is opening a second tasting room in Woodinville about every other week.
ROHNERT PARK, Calif. — Northwest wineries fared well at the 2010 Grand Harvest Awards, an international wine competition staged by Vineyard & Winery Management magazine.
Cal Knudsen, a Northwest forest-products exec, lawyer and Oregon wine pioneer, passed away April 24 in California after a battle with cancer. He was 85.
Knudsen planted a vineyard in 1971 and became partners with Dick Erath in the early 1970s, and Erath Vineyards' winery even changed to Knudsen-Erath from 1975 through the early 1990s. It changed back to Erath Vineyards after Erath bought out Knudsen's interest in the business.
Knudsen went on to help found Argyle Winery in Dundee, Ore., and his vineyard has been a primary source for Argyle's award-winning sparkling wines.
Knudsen was born in Tacoma, Wash., and later was a senior vice president for Weyerhaeuser.
