Where in NW Wine Country: June 23, 2009

Poll:

Where was this photo taken?

Even though Idaho's Snake River Valley is the least-visited wine region in the Pacific Northwest, last week's mystery photo didn't fool as many folks as I expected.

Some 57% recognized the image as being from Koenig Vineyards near Caldwell, Idaho. Meanwhile, 21% thought it might be The Pines Vineyard near The Dalles, Ore. Just 14% thought it might be Canoe Ridge Vineyard near Alderdale, Wash., and 8% guessed it was from Mount Baker Vineyards north of Bellingham, Wash.

This week's image, taken by Jackie Johnston of Wine Country Creations, is rather artistic and doesn't necessarily provide a sense of place as much as size. Let's see how you fare.
