What is a good local wine?

Colton I love your attitude!

This is a great time for you. The time for exploration. You are in the middle of the Puget Sound Wine Region and I'm sure your local retailers will have the wines. Try to find a Mom and Pop wineshop where someone actually knows something about the wines and can help you.

Also, get a notebook and start writing down your impressions. Is the wine so tannic that you need food with it or can it be consummed on it's own? Do you like the weight of the wine (how big it feels in your mouth) or is it too big or too light.

You don't need sophisticated descriptors, just use your own lingo. The key here is to start paying attention to your palate and figuring out what you like.

Once you have "your style" recognized you can have a good time going all over the world.

Welcome to the wineboard. Wine is fun, not intimidating.
