Ah yes... snow... lots of it and I suspect winds that go with the storms... That winery looks very interesting... Those labels are beautiful, they look like book covers... I will look for their wines... Imagine a good portion of those wheat fields converted to wine production... and the improvement that no doubt will come as the entire American wine industry will develop. This in hope that the price of good wine will begin to drop... (and hopefully the entire nation will learn to drink more of it). "There is a lot of homogeny out there, with lots of wine that tastes the same," said Derby. "We like to think ours taste different and unique." once I talked to the winemaker of Blackwood Canyon (in Yakima), he used to plant herbs next to the vines, with the theory that as pollination would ocur on the grape flowers, the bees hopefuly would bring some flavors from the herbs nearby... I simply listened not knowing if the guy was putting me on as I have no knowledge if such Thing is possible. However, their wines were very unique... they had a Semillon Blanc that was rich and with a very unique flavor. To this day, I have not been able to find another Semillon anywhere close to his... I bought an entire case of it (1987)... which by now it is long gone... I have not been able to locate anymore of his wines.... his Chardonnay was equally great and he also had a reasonable Pint Noir --which I must admit I am very bias to its French original --> The wine of Burgundy.
