Wine Blogging Wednesday #34 announced…
I’m pretty excited about this particular WBW! It’s an easy one for me in many ways since I live in the Seattle area. I also grew up in Woodinville for a number of years during my childhood, so I am familiar with Woodinville wine country more than most other Seattleites (sp?).
So what’s the theme for WBW #34? Simple: Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon. Through the Walla Walla Grape Vine is the host for WBW #34, which means this theme makes a lot of sense for her to host.
I remain unconvinced about WA Cabernet Sauvignon compared to California. I hope this WBW will help me find a wine I can get behind and advocate to my wine drinking buddies. Some of the big names in WA Cab Sauv have failed to impress me in the past, though. We’ll see this time. I do want to find something a little different; I’m not a fan of Ste. Michelle or Columbia, or any of the other “big box” WA wineries. There are so many other family affairs that are worth tracking down!
Finally, Poco Wine Room might be a good place to start with regard to finding a good WA Cabernet Sauvignon. So if you’re wondering where to find a cool WA wine for this challenge, check them out!
