ReplyDeleteOne thing that I think we should all take a moment to note....compared to a few years back, these lists are so much longer and more diverse in terms of the people writing about wine from the Northwest.
It's fun to see, a sign of the times to be sure (in a very good way).
Thanks for doing these and including us!
Mark, I was actually thinking the exact same thing when I put this listing together. Pretty exciting to see!
