Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’ll be participating in the event! The new book sounds like an interesting one. There are several great wineries in Spokane. I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding good wine to pair with the recipes.

The blog may have bias toward the promotion of the local region as a whole, but I am completely honest about my review of the wine, regardless of where it comes from.

Cheers and best wishes on your new book!

That said, as someone whose university marketing thesis was about he wine-making industry, and who has visited the vineyards of Europe, Australia, and South Africa, I look forward to looking into what the Pacific Northwest area has to offer wine-wise in the very new future (I’ve heard good things about Barrister), and I look forward to participating in your upcoming virtual WA-Merlot tasting (if I can get my butt unglued from the computer (and the proofing of yet another book) long enough to pick up a local bottle of the product.

Your blog, by the way, has been a big help, in helping me sort out the Washington wine industry, even if it does, at times (understandably so), come across as a bit biased in favor of the local industry, and the local product.
