August is Washington wine month for the Washington state liquor stores. State stores will be selling wine at reduced prices for the month. Wine Press Northwest provides a list of the wines and prices here.
An interesting article on Boudreaux Cellars in Wenatchee World. In this week’s column, Seattle Times' Paul Gregutt writes about Walla Walla winery L’Ecole, whose 2006 Recess Red we will be sampling for our inaugural virtual tasting later this month.
Finally, the Peninsula Daily News writes about Olympic Cellars Kathy Charlton’s battle with the U.S. Olympic Committee over the use of “Olympic.” Only in America. Perhaps suing the park service is next.

Thanks for the great links. My only question from the Raleigh Metro Magazine article...."Chester Kidder 2005, $28"....where?
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, if I could find this wine somewhere at $28, there would already be none of it left! The best I have seen has been about $45. A typo here. Good catch.
