Tried this at a tasting not long ago, then saw it was on sale. Had to buy two. It is really quite lovely. Many may not realize this, but Washington State produces some fantastic wine.

Maybe for my next historical project I will learn about not only when Americans began to cultivate wine grapes, but actually began producing high quality wine (in California, I am sure) that got a bit of respect. I recently read a book discussing the origins of wine; it started in ancient Greece and like so many other things, was co-opted by the Romans.
