You&#39;re not the first. I don&#39;t really know why--I think it&#39;s actually the British way--that&#39;s just the way it comes out. I&#39;m not a fan of The Elements of Style either, I guess. Haha. Anyways, I think lots of Wshington wine doesn&#39;t make it very far out of the state, but more is becoming available, at least in California. What I like about Washington (other than it&#39;s where I&#39;m from) is that the cooler climate seems to allow for modern wines that have old world elements. In others words, all that&#39;s good from California, mixed with what&#39;s good about the old world.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01194752605118852057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395790518595308276.post-84311681569940373152009-12-27T12:22:27.312-08:002009-12-27T12:22:27.312-08:00Never heard of this one, but it sounds interesting. I&#39;m thinking of making Washington a focus for my wine drinking in 2010. (Well, I say that, but I also want to focus on Portugal, Montsant, Rhone, and Northern Italy so we&#39;ll see how focused I really am.) Lots of good stuff coming out of there and often in a more balanced style than CA.<br /><br />Also, what&#39;s up with putting the $ after the price (e.g., 15$)? The first few times I noticed it in your posts, I thought it was a typo, but it seems to be a choice. What&#39;s the story?Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09032349098198956160noreply@blogger.com
