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.
Q. In the past couple years, I've noticed more Northwest wineries are producing port-style wines. But they seem to vary widely in type, style and even in the grape varieties used. Why so much variation?
Q. What does the French term "terroir" really mean? And how is it really pronounced?
Q. What makes the difference between a $50 wine and a $10 wine? Costs of grapes, barrels or what?
Q. My spouse and I often open a nice bottle of wine and drink only about half of it. Once it’s open, what’s the best way to preserve the leftovers?
Q. What's an appropriate way to take young children wine touring?
Q. What’s the difference between Chablis and chardonnay?
Q. Can you explain "corkage" and the thinking behind the fees that are charged? What's a fair amount to expect to pay?
Q. I've frequently seen someone swirl a wine, peer at the glass, then say something like, "Look at those legs." What does the comment mean? What can you learn from looking at those legs?
Q. I'd like to know more about wine and port storage: temperature, time considerations, upright or on side and other aspects I might not have considered. My primary concern is storage of ports.
