"Unquestionably the most comprehensive book on the topic, Washington Wines and Wineries is a new benchmark in learning about this exciting wine region."—Evan Goldstein, author of Perfect Pairings "I never miss a chance for lunch or a tasting with Paul Gregutt. He is an eclectic student of wine and an astute taster who never takes himself too seriously. But his Washington Wines & Wineries is a serious publication. The number of Washington wineries has exploded since the turn of the millennium. There are several important new AVAs. Many wonderful wines are being made. So there was an urgent need for this splendid new guide, written with passion and authority. No one who loves Washington wines--in fact, no one serious about wine--should fail to get a copy."—Oz Clarke

Publisher description -- The dynamic Pacific Northwest landscape--long known for its majestic mountains, powerful rivers and lush forests--is the stage of an exciting modern-day wine renaissance that has been captured in all its color and beauty for the first time in the pages of this volume. The same climatic conditions that for generations yielded fragrant and flavorful fruits and berries for which Washington and Oregon are famous are now producing fine vinifera wine grapes of unique quality and character. This beautiful and informative book, with its extensive text tying in the vastness of the movement, highlights the individual stories and adventures of the people--the winemakers. The information is oriented to the Northwest, but offers firm insight, knowledge and understanding which will help one grasp the properties of winemaking and the characteristics of the vine.
