Washington wines and wineries : the essential guide

"During the thirty-five years wine critic and writer Paul Gregutt has lived in the state of Washington, its wine industry has ballooned from a mere half-dozen wineries to nearly five hundred. Washington Wines and Wineries: The Essential Guide offers a comprehensive, critical, and accessible account of the nation's second largest wine-producing region. Gregutt points out the best vineyards, the most accomplished winemakers, the must-have wines, and the newcomers to watch. He rates wineries - not wines - with a 100-point scale, providing an insider's view of the best that Washington state has to offer. As the global wine industry reinvents itself for twenty-first-century palates, Washington is poised to become as important and influential as California on the world stage. Washington Wines and Wineries is the definitive reference book on the subject."--BOOK JACKET
