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.
I just heard through Paul Gregutt of the Seattle Times that Bear Silverstein passed away Thursday.
Bear was owner of West Seattle Wine Cellars. He had suffered through a series of strokes the past few years and died Thursday at Mount St. Vincent in West Seattle.
Bear purchased West Seattle Cellars in 2000 and was a strong part of the wine scene in that community. I met him a number of years ago while judging the annual Washington State Wine Competition in Yakima. I'm not certain why, but he and I ended up on the same judging panel a few times (perhaps because we were the same height and similar build). Bear had great knowledge of the Washington and international wine scenes, so I always learned great insights whenever our paths crossed.
He will be missed - and remembered - by the Washington wine community.
