I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

Wow, lucky you got to taste all these wines! Whenever I buy an Australian wine I am always impressed, and I've never regretted it. Thanks for the great reviews, obviously I'll go for the cheaper ones but it's nice to dream :p

Some fancy wines you had there! I agree with the commenter about the interesting mix of Pinot and Chardonnay. I wish I would have been there to taste it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

It's something that many people have difficulty with when they taste wines in the store until I remind them "that is more of a 'food' wine, imagine having that with ..." Many of my customers only look at wine as a cocktail and miss the food connection. That's OK too, but cocktail wines and food wines are built differently. My motto - "drink what you like, just buy it from me ;>"

I enjoy reading your descriptions. Thanks for a great article. The Pinot Noir/Chardonnay combination must be interesting. I thought you made a very good point - that many a French wine needs to be enjoyed with food in order to be appreciated. I think the French - more than Americans - think of it being drunk with food rather than being independent, when they make a wine.

I have been looking forward to your notes since learning that you were elected to go on tour. I'm delighted that you were pleased overall with what you sampled in the interest of us localvores. Thanks for sharing! Where you have indicated a "great value" wine, let us know if you decide to carry it and what price you set.

"We" didn't have to drive. The Washington Wine Commission chauffeured our collective butts all over the state of Washington for this event! And besides, we are all professional tasters here, we were spitting everything out ;>
