Looks like I'll be out this month unfortunately. Saviah has no distribution in Texas. But if nothing else, this contributes to the body of evidence about which WA wines get distribution in Texas. Overall, I'd say we probably have a pretty poor selection relative to all that is available in Washington. In addition, beyond the mega wineries, it's hard to predict which smaller wineries have broad out-of-state distribution.
Mike, you will be missed!
I wrote up some impressions about Saviah The Jack after the virtual tasting. http://wine-beer-washington.com/tasting-notes/2009-saviah-jack/
This wine really changed as it opened up but the labeling is confusing to customers.
