Washington State vs New York Rieslings - Who Will Win?
2008-04-15 22:07:00 We had a wonderful time visiting with Gary Vay!Ner!Chuk! of Wine Library TV last week at Taste Washington 2008. On a one-to-one with Gary, we discussed not only Washington State wines, but Gary shared with us the possibility of him creating a new wine rating point system. With Washington State taking a new interest in one of their original grapes the Riesling, this episode #440 of the "Thunder Show" from Qwest Field in Seattle, Gary Vaynerchuk shows us a taste-off between Washington State and New York State Rieslings. I don't want to tell everything about this episode, but I am pleased to say it may be one of the reasons why Poet's Leap Riesling from Long Shadows is "leaping" off the shelves at the Wild Walla Walla Wine Woman. The winery is officially out but they found a few extra for me!!!

The game on Thursday features the Cougars second best defense (56.1 points allowed per game) against the second-highest scoring offense in the nation (89.9 points scored per game).

We're playing against extreme talent and our style of play will be very important." Washington State will try and stay disciplined on Thursday just as they have all season. "It's not like we're trying to become a solid transition defensive team in the next few days while we get ready for them," Bennett said. "Hopefully, what we've done throughout the season will pay off......

Food & Wine Magazine - Terrific Washington State Reds
2008-03-04 16:49:00 The March issue of Food & Wine Magazine has an article named,Terrific Washington State Reds and following up with their Twenty Top Bottles. Senior Wine Editor, Ray Isle tasted a total of 105 red wines from Washington State. And in that total included Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, Syrahs and Blends. Obviously to choose only 20 wines was a difficult task and as the article states, "one of the most difficult selections he’s (Isle) ever had to make" And to quote Food & Wine, "Across the board, quality was remarkably high—a testimony to how exciting Washington state wines are right now." Duh - last year after Long Shadows of Walla Walla won Food & Wine award for Winery of the Year, Lettie Teague, Food & Wine’s executive wine editor said "...she has admired the incredible ambition of this project...to prove the potential of Washington wines." The potential? Ya think? Like I commented last time. Where've ya been Lettie? Washington's wines have long passed the "poten...

Barack Obama's Sweep: Wisconsin, Hawaii, and Washington State
2008-02-20 09:26:00 Barack Obama has one again. He won decisively in both Wisconsin and Hawaii, and by 58 percent / 41 percent in Wisconsin, and a whopping 74 percent to 26 percent, respectively in Hawaii. That's ten straight wins for Obama and a fresh set of donors and fans. But the campaign withstood what is the strongest challenge of negative press on the part of both the Clintons and the mainstream media. It's started with what I think was a misguided and vealedly racist attack on Barack's speeches as lacking substance. But then it got worse with attacks on Michelle Obama because she said that in her adult life she was finally proud to be an American.I agree.Clinton fans are wondering why she's not only losing, but being totally beaten in a landslide most of the time. The answer is simple. She's using the old style politics of divide and attack and it's not working. Many public officials know that you don't attack when it's not popular to do so.I end this blog post with a video mad...
Damn Those Grapes For Making Washington State Money! How Dare They!
2008-02-15 16:10:00 Beware - - she's on another rant. Run for cover!A few weeks ago I read a letter to the editor in the local paper. The writer was from Milton-Freewater, Oregon (which is 10 miles from Walla Walla, WA) and she was complaining, not only about the wineries in Walla Walla selling the heathen devil's juice, but also complaining about a new Harley-Davidson sales room that was going downtown Walla Walla. Yup, the last thing we need in Walla Walla is another winery contributing to our state/county/and city revenue, let alone encouraging the sorted bunch of ruffian outlaws like the local doctors, attorneys, bankers and funeral directors to buy another Harley-Davidson for their collection. How silly this person is. And my answer to her is: If she doesn’t like wine and Harley-Davidsons in Walla Walla, then stay in Oregon. As it is in Washington State, as a courtesy to our Oregon neighbors, we do not charge them sales tax on their purchased items. It is a courtesy depending on the retailer a...

Obama wins in Washington State
2008-02-10 22:40:00 Malla Jaou ( quelle joie), Obama a gagne a l'etat de Washington. Cette victoire semble insignifiante sur le plan national, mais vous ne pouvez pas imaginer l'effort que tous les militants et sympathisants ont du depenser pour atteindre ce resultat. Sur un plan personnel, ces deux derniers jours ont ete tres intense et a part les meetings politiques et manif auxquels j'ai assiste au Liban, je n'ai jamais ressenti autant d'emotion "politique". Voir Obama de ses propres yeux, ecouter ce leader parler ( ya baba ala el 9och3ourira), faire parti de cette foule de sympathisants, observer ces americains de toute race et de toute classe sociale s'unir et supporter ce jeune homme d'origine africaine ne peut pas vous laisser indifferent.Les caucus ont ete aussi l'occasion de voir la democratie se pratiquer au niveau du quartier.

Washington state may introduce MPG-based car taxes
2008-02-09 21:11:00 Legislators in Washington state want to put the hurt on people who buy vehicles that consume more fuel by charging a new annual tax that's weighted in inverse proportion to the vehicle's EPA fuel economy ratings. The more fuel a vehicle uses, the more it will cost the driver to register the vehicle. The tax would help restore some of the revenue that has been lost due to apparently falling gasoline sales in the state as prices have risen. Of course anti-tax advocates in the state are not pleased about the plan and complain that lower-income drivers that can't afford newer higher-mileage cars will be inordinately punished. While the goals of tax plan are laudable, the implementation is problematic. Perhaps some kind of tax break for lower income drivers to help with the purchase of more efficient vehicles might have a greater impact by getting some of the older vehicles off the road entirely. There is also the issue of calculating a tax based on the EPA mileage numbers, when those...

Washington State has a tough next few days…
2008-01-10 21:23:00 Wazzu continues their upward descent and have eclipsed the top 4 ranking in the country. I know I wrote a pretty harsh article about the Cougars a while back, but here they still are, plugging away, albeit some people have formed a similar opinion (yahoo’s preview of the Wash St-USC game notes that “After cruising through a mediocre non-conference schedule and defeating instate rival Washington 56-52 in its Pac-10 opener on Saturday, Washington State’s (13-0, 1-0) schedule is getting considerably tougher.”) Now, I don’t want to disrespect Wash St. at all, but these next couple of days will ultimately prove with the ranking they have–is it live or is it Memorex? Is it the real deal or is it hype? Because from today until Saturday night, Wazzu plays USC with hyped up frosh O.J. Mayo (His parents had to have been hungry after childbirth) and then travels to Pauley Pavilion for a matchup against #5 UCLA. I think that, unfortunately, the Cougars won&rs...

They say as much in the article which I must quote here for its humor. Washington is given as the fourth most frequently visited state by respondents outside North America, and this can only be because many, if not most of these, have actually visited Washington, D.C. and believe that they have been to Washington State. One wonders what the implications of this almost universal confusion are for Washington, D.C. and for Washington State, and if the confusion is to be cleared up, whose responsibility it is to do so. Certainly, a massive, long-term global education campaign would be req...
