Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of the crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 off the coast of California. Among the 88 passengers and crew who perished was one of the most cherished people in the Northwest wine industry: Tom Stockley, the longtime wine columnist for The Seattle Times.
Consumers still love their Washington wines but have adjusted their palates to match their pocketbooks.
Bargain Bob is practicing a bit of home cooking this time with two wineries less that five miles from his front door.
The Spokane region wineries are a small, tight-knit group. Many are downtown, and it is a wine community where prices haven't gone though the roof.
Bargain Bob is always willing to go that extra mile to find cheap but good wines. This time, he's in Prosser, Wash.
In this unending time of increasing prices for almost everything, ol' Bargain Bob is more relevant than ever.
Bargain Bob traditionally gets excited when he finds a wine under $10, so how come he's all energized by a red wine that costs around $20?
Bargain Bob is at his parsimonious best this time, finding real bargain wines in Prosser, considered by many as the cradle of the Washington wine industry.
