  • 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."

Where in Northwest Wine Country: Dec. 8, 2009


Poll:
Where was this photo taken?

Last week's mystery photo turned out to be a real test.

First, it was obvious that the winery produced sparkling wines, thanks to the riddling racks taking center stage. Second, the winery had a high ceiling, so it was either large or dramatic.

And finally, thanks to the wide-angle lens used by the photographer, the ceiling seemed round, even dome-like. Thus, 52% of you thought the location was Mountain Dome Winery in Spokane, while just 19% correctly guessed the winery was Summerhill in Kelowna, B.C. (yes, that was taken inside Steve Cipes' famous pyramid). Meanwhile, 15% thought it was taken at Argyle Winery in Dundee, Ore., and 14% wondered if it was a photo inside cavernous Domaine Ste. Michelle in Paterson, Wash.

This week's photo, taken by Jackie Johnston of WineCountryCreations.com, should be a somewhat easier test.
