Where was this photo taken?

Once again, last week's mystery photo kept you off balance.

In fact, just 15% of you correctly identified it as Suyematsu Vineyard on Bainbridge Island, Wash., while 62% thought it was Shea Vineyard in Oregon's Yamhill-Carlton District. Meanwhile, 13% guessed it was Celilo Vineyard in the Columbia Gorge and 11% wondered if it was Salt Spring Island Vineyard in British Columbia's Gulf Islands.

In fact, just 7% correctly identified the photo as coming from Idaho's Snake River Valley. Meanwhile, 42% guessed the Puget Sound AVA, 28% thought it was Vancouver Island and 23% went with the Columbia Gorge AVA.

This week's photo was taken by yours truly and should provide a solid challenge.
