It’s the Grapes!
The grapes
grown in the Pacific Northwest are among
the best wine grapes grown in the world.
Although
grapes have been grown in northern California for well over 100 years only
recently have they been grown in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon,
Utah, Colorado, Montana and Idaho.
The wines
produced in the Northwest rank among the best in the world.

Oregon

They have been winning awards since 1979.
Many

through Thanksgiving weekend. More
