American Wines
by Greg Cruey on October 6, 2009
Washington State has a much more complex set of wine regions than most consumers realize. Some 30 varieties of wine get pressed, fermented and bottled in the state. There are over 30,000 acres of vineyards in the state. There are over 600 wineries.
Washington wine can be traced back to Italian immigrants in who began vineyards in the Walla Walla region of the state in the 1850's. But it was a century later that wine production really took off in the state. Now Washington ranks second in wine production in the US, after California.
Washington Wine Country also offers some excellent sight seeing.
