Welcome back to House Wine and the beginning of an all new season!
After declaring to the world that Cognac was wine I seemingly vanished off the face of the internet... I put away my podcasting pillow fort and went into serious study mode in preparation for a wine exam.
Today we are going to talk about all things Washington State. I never felt quite at ease with Washington State Wine and so I made it a mission to understand this wine region and get to love it, and I really did come out of the research for this episode with a deeper appreciation for these wines; for the climate, the grapes and the people who make them.
If you have ever wondered what Chianti and Southern Washington have in common (said no ever) or if you have ever longed for the path less traveled and the wide open spaces of the west, than Washington State has the wine for you.
(Aside: I grew up on the West Coast and have a life long fascination with true crime as a result. Washington, Oregon and British Columbia all have some of the highest rates of murder and missing people in the world. I recommend a Washington State Riesling paired with your favourite true crime podcast)
I used some great resources:
The Oxford Companion to Wine 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson.
