'06 Washington Trip Notes

[Bucko]

I smiled as I read your notes. They pretty much mirror my experiences.

Seth Ryan and Russell Creek have long been dreck -- I wrote them off years ago.

I am surprised at Terra Blanca. I've had some wonderful wines from them -- maybe an off year?

Forgeron makes terrific wines, but they do push the wood. Dunham has actually toned down the wood some, to their credit.

I've not been to Ash Hollow, El Mirador or Two Mountain.
