Trying to compare the 2009 list of top wines with that of 2008 from The Wine Spectator was pointless for me. I don’t even know what I’m looking at on the earlier list, whether red or white. I recognized one Zinfadel but that’s it. Examining the list more carefully showed that France dominated the top [...]

My plans to taste wines throughout the Shuswap and Okanagan regions have been thwarted by winter, which really means my plans were foolish flights of fancy.

The Columbia Valley wine region originally encompassed Lake Chelan. These viticultural areas were created to provide wine consumers with information regarding the quality or special characteristics of the grapes grown [...]
I visited two wineries this past weekend and Saint Laurent was one of them. I have enjoyed their wine before but had not visited the winery until now. The winery is up in the hills of the Wenatchee Valley. Orchards and vineyards surround the property. You get a nice view of [...]
Since I am in Wenatchee this weekend, I was treated to another wine tour in the valley. The first place we stopped at was Martin-Scott Winery a few miles out of town. The winery is perched up on a hill giving a good view of the Columbia River and surrounding mountains.
The tasting room [...]

I was first introduced to Saint Laurent Estate Winery with their Syrah Rose. That wine was the bottle that helped start me down the red wine path. I enjoyed it very much and also enjoyed the price tag at $14.99.
Recently we broke out a bottle of their Lucky Red we had been saving [...]

While I was staying in Wenatchee this weekend, I was given a tour of the wineries in Lake Chelan. The first one we stopped at was Benson Vineyards Estate Winery. The winery sits up on a hill and looks down on the north shore of Lake Chelan. If it weren’t for the [...]
