The Great Northwest

By now, everyone knows about the great wines made in California, but the formidible wines of the Pacific Northwest remain a bit of a secret, seeming to get only a small fraction of the attention paid to their southern cousins. The Wine Press Northwest site might just change all that, with its extensive coverage of the area's wines. Red wine fan? Check out the reports on the excellent Cabernets, Merlots and Syrahs from Washington. A recent article on a vertical tasting of 19 years of Woodward Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon highlighted the quality and longevity of the region's best wines. Or maybe you'd prefer to learn about the wonderful Pinot Noir of Oregon. Sweet tooth? Look for the notes about the spectacular dessert wines of British Columbia. Add biweekly columns by Bob Woehler, wine event listings and major tasting competition results, and you have a site that's sure to delight anyone who wants to know about the great Northwest.
