After 25 years as the NW reviewer for Wine Enthusiast magazine (and a decade as the wine writer for the Seattle Times) I am posting all my wine writing on this Substack. I'll post about every third day. The focus is on the wines and wineries of the Pacific Northwest. I also comment on wine-related news and occasionally controversies. I welcome reader input. My tasting notes are carefully composed after days of tasting each featured wine. Only recommended wines are scored and profiled.
