Reader survey for 2008 Washington wine of the year

Folks, while Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and others weigh in on the wines of the year, it is time for us to do the same. I will be posting a list of my top wines of 2008 shortly, but right now it is time to kick off a reader survey of your favorite wines of 2008. Here is what you need to do. Email me/leave a comment by the end of the day Friday with your top 5 Washington wines of 2008. I will roll these up to a survey starting Saturday. I will keep the voting open until end of the day Monday whereupon we will declare the winner on Tuesday. Let the reader survey of the top Washington wine of 2008 begin!
