As far as other Syrahs, there are so many good ones from Walla Walla. You are getting some of the premium ones. I would check out Saviah, Betz, Rotie and Gramercy. For Cabs, Corliss is one of my faves, as is Woodward Canyon. You can never go wrong with any of the wines at Long Shadows. Their Saggi and Pedestal are always spectacular. My favorite “little guy” is Latta. Their Grenache rivals No Girls, and is a wonderfully balanced wine that is affordable. They serve out of a bunker twice a year! Aluve is an up and comer. Devium flies under the radar and makes very interesting wines. Have fun exploring and don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

I would love any suggestions on Washington cabs. Caysuse is my favorite but of course I can’t get on that list...anything in the secondary market that you think is worth it? Any less obvious producers I should try if I like that style (I enjoy and have some horsepower and no girls. Also enjoy sleight of hand although it isn’t in quite the same league for me). The Reynvaan I have had has been too young so I am still waiting to see if I will enjoy it as much as the Cayuse. Would love to hear your thoughts. All the best, Jennifer

Other times I walk away feeling like I spent all day in a butcher shop breaking down various bovine carcasses. Your notes on the Washington wines are especially fantastic by the way. Well done!!

They thought it is in spine-I think it is in the cranium due to liquid in nasal cavity. You can look that up. Actually would not mind having someone on the board-you-to be able to talk about it once a week-warning I may throw out some frustrations. Dave
