OVERVIEW
Geography
Washington wine country has only been producing premium wines for some 50 years, no time at all compared to many of the world’s winemaking regions. Yet in that half-century, Washington has become the United States’ second-largest wine producer, behind California. And each year, Washington winemakers deliver an ever-more-impressive portfolio of world-class wines.
It’s not easy. Washington state wineries face serious obstacles, most notably the region’s climatic extremes.
Varietal / Type
Viognier, out of favor for much of the modern era, survived on a handful of acres in its native Condrieu, in France’s northern Rhône. Now Viognier wines are back in a big way, thanks to white-wine drinkers looking for interesting alternatives to Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.
