Dorothy and John retired the column that created this icon evening today in the WSJ. I loved them so and will continue the tradition, but--in the last column they listed the 9 most delicious wines they tasted in 09' from all over the world!! Three were from Washington state Jean!! A Dunham Cellars Syrah 04' at $44.99 was in the top three--and an Owen Roe "Ex Umbris" Syrah 06' ($21.99) & a Gramercy Cellars "Lagnippe" Syrah 05'($29.99) were in the top nine. All from Columbia Valley. I think California has Cabernet, Oregon has Pinot, and Washington has cornered the quality on Syrah--Jean, another reason to enjoy the Pacific NW. Enjoy the new year my friend.
