'06 Washington Trip Notes

[wondersofwine]

I remember wanting to have a Kestrel red (don't remember if it was the Syrah or a blended red) shipped to me last year but Kestrel doesn't have a license to ship to North Carolina. Two Mountain Riesling was one of the four bottles I took home on the plane with me last year. It is nice. And I also liked Matt's Lemberger (better than the one I tried in the Finger Lakes although that one was also pretty good). I was impressed with the wines at Willow Crest but not necessarily the same ones you favored. I do remember thinking that all of them were quite good. It sounds like you didn't get to Saviah. Their Red Mountain Syrah was one of my favorites last year and I may order 2 or 3 bottles from them this fall. You listed some interesting wineries that were previously unknown to me. Good report. Greetings to you and Anne. I'm not doing much traveling this year with my move and with the trip back to Nebraska concerning my mother. Maybe next year I will get to California wine country again.
