Welcome to paulgregutt.com - covering wine-related topics of interest, controversy, and debate. My focus on Washington wines, Oregon wines, and the wineries of the entire Pacific Northwest is where the conversation begins. I hope you'll make this a regular feature of your own wine blog reading.

For more of my wine reviews and commentary, please visit my Facebook page, my Seattle Times Wine Adviser columns, and the thousands of wine tasting notes and reviews in the free Wine Enthusiast database.

If you are interested in a truly great wine country experience, check out my two rental cottages in Waitsburg. Each has 2BR/2BA suites, full kitchens, living room, expansive gardens, etc. See www.waitsburgcottages for more. I live right across the street and will be happy to suggest places to visit, eat and drink.

Music

upcoming performances


Walla Walla: Multi-instrumentalist Peter Crawford and I perform as Where’s Mary in and around Walla Walla. We are also available for bookings out of town. Sweet, acoustic music featuring great songs from the 30’s, 50’s, 70’s and 90’s. Nothing from those even-numbered decades!

Waitsburg In Waitsburg I am teamed up with Larry Davidson. Our acoustic guitar-based duo is the Wicker Chair Winos. A fine mix of original singer/songwriter material and classic blooz and country. Look for us at the Anchor Bar, and special events in the Waitsburg and Dayton area. I am posting some studio recordings on Soundcloud also. I have written hundreds of songs, and at one time was signed to a Nashville publishing company. I have worked and recorded at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan, as well as many Seattle studios, and most recently, in Tacoma.
