Washington State’s total grape production reached 160,000 tons in 2010, marking a record high production level. White Riesling took back the number one spot in the state, which Chardonnay held briefly in 2009. The state also bonded its 700th winery.
The 2010 production numbers in Washington were a 3% increase, despite a somewhat challenging growing season. The numbers were released Friday in the USDA’s Annual Grape Report (Note: opens .pdf).

In tough times, we continue the search for good, inexpensive wines.
Pacific Rim is Washington’s Riesling specialist. The winery boasts a dazzling lineup of wines, from sparkling to dry to dessert. The Columbia Valley Riesling is off dry in style with 2.3% Residual Sugar beautifully balanced by acidity. The winery’s website states, “As wine lovers crave alternatives to heavy and oaky white wines, Riesling is experiencing a true revival (like a phoenix rising from the ashes — the inspiration for our label artwork).” Pacific Rim was recently purchased by the Mariani family.

The dinner with China's President Hu Jintao, which was described as a “quintessentially American” meal, included the 2005 Quilceda Creek Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and 2008 Long Shadows Botrytis Riesling. A Russian River Chardonnay from California was served as well.
For White House events, only wines made in the United States are served, a policy that has been in place since the Carter administration. The dinner was served at the State Dining Room, Blue Room, and Red Room of the White House.

Paul Beveridge of Seattle’s Wilridge Winery started offering reusable bottles several months ago. Beveridge says that the inspiration was both to be as green as possible and to provide high quality wine at “recession buster” pricing.
The reusable bottles reduce environmental impact by eliminating cork (the bottles have reusable stoppers), capsules, paper labels, and the waste associated with recycling glass. “It takes five percent of the energy to clean and refill a bottle as it does to recycle a bottle,” Beveridge explains. Additionally, unlike boxed wine, it comes in a package consumers are already familiar with and that is fully reusable.

Washington’s vineyard plantings exceeded 40,000 acres in 2010 according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Plantings totaled 40,575.9 acres, up from 36,500 acres in 2009.
The majority of the increase came from plantings in the Yakima Valley (1,832.5 additional acres) and the Horse Heaven Hills (1,524 additional acres). However, the diminutive Red Mountain saw the largest percentage increase – a whopping 40% - growing from 852.4 acres to 1,199.8.
Washington is the second largest wine growing state in the nation behind California. The state is, however, a distant second. For perspective, Napa Valley is home to over 45,000 acres of grapes and California boasts more than ten times that number.

The following post is written by Carrie Simon. Simon is the founder of Washington Wine 9, a custom trip planning service to travelers for Washington State's wine country.
In 1998, Steve Brooks came across an article in the New York Times that described the potential of Washington wine production to be “as large as the state itself.”
At the time, Brooks was nearing 40 and was determined to transition out of his nearly 20-year career at CNN in Atlanta. The news business had become physically draining, mentally depressing, and a detriment to Brooks’ family life. Brooks recalled that his grandparents, Italian immigrants, made wine in their basement and they routinely enjoyed it with meals; the newspaper article was all he needed to embark on a new journey as a winemaker. “This is the one shot I’m going to have,” he recalled thinking to himself. “I’d never forgive myself for not taking it.”

Four days into the New Year, I arrived at my first corked wine. In this case it was a holiday gift. I thought coming across a corked bottle so early in the year provided a good opportunity to count up the number of corked bottles I come across in 2011. So this year I'll be keeping a personal 'Corked Counter' along the side of the blog. I encourage you to keep count of your corked bottles as well. Also feel free to add comments to this post during the year as you have wines that are corked. I'm always particularly interested to hear the occasion the wine was opened for.
Let the counting begin!
Yesterday I wrote about the Washington State Liquor Control Board (LCB) ending the ‘corkage free zone’ in Yakima. This popular program allowed consumers to buy wine from local wineries and drink the wine at local restaurants – provided the wine was bought the same day - without paying a corkage fee. Below is additional information from both the LCB and Washington Wine Institute (WWI) regarding the matter.
While initial indications were that Yakima’s ‘corkage free zone’ might have come to the LCB’s attention due to interest by other parties in creating a similar program elsewhere, Communications Director Brian Smith, says that the LCB was following up on the issue due to a complaint from within the industry.
