I Drink Wine I have traveled through a good portion of the United States, Canada and Mexico....

The days of west coast wine, I lived in the San Joaquin valley during the 80s and learned to love the Zinfandel while I was there! You have the most awesome sister so I had to stop by when she mentioned you. Consider me a resource if you need anything at SW! 🥀🍷

A woman after my own heart - and so suited to my profile name. 😉

There is a small difference though... I haven't a clue when it comes to the finer points of what I'm drinking. I either like it - or I don't like it so much.

This evening, it was good (red from Chile) - apart from the name. It was called "Pour ma Guele". What's that meant to be about..?

The "local" part of "local wine" can be fascinating sometimes. I remember sampling wines at a winery in New Mexico. The Burgundy and the Chablis were pretty mediocre. But then I tasted the Chamborino, named after the grape that was indigenous to the area. It was spectacular (and of course, not available anywhere else in the world!)

Yes, the wines of the Northwest are truly worthwhile. Oregon is famous for pinot noir and pinot gris. Washington's vinological variety is staggering. Red blends are worth exploring.
