Wine Enthusiast magazine’s Top 100 lists for 2015 have been released. The magazine has three lists that related to wine: Top 100 Best Buys, Top 100 Cellar Selections, and the Enthusiast 100. Northwest wines are well represented on each list, as indicated below (click on the links to see the entire list). The Washington reviews were from yours truly and the Oregon reviews from my colleague Paul Gregutt.
The November/December issue of Vineyard & Winery Management magazine has an article I wrote on the growth of the Northwest wine industry. You can read the article here.
