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.

hooray for rosé!

Now that I’ve got your attention, it’s time to drink pink. Never mind that spring is on hold here on the west coast. The great rosés are rolling in, and here in Washington there are more than ever before. They come and go quickly – many wineries just make a few dozen cases – so now’s the time to jump in.

I’m jumping in with the help of my good friends at Randall PR in Seattle. They have invited me to host a live, online wine tasting, and I’ve chosen rosé as the topic. We’ll taste seven different Washington rosés, chatter on about them, welcome some of the winemakers, and take your tweets and comments live.

This will be a live podcast from Lori Randall’s houseboat on Lake Union. Here are the deets:

#WARose Tasting with Paul Gregutt
Location: Anywhere
Time: 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM PST
Thursday, June 10 from 5:30 to 7 pm PST

Rosé wines tasted will be:
• Barnard Griffin
• Charles & Charles
• Chinook Vineyards
• Dusted Valley (just added!)
• Lullaby
• Sleight of Hand
• Syncline Wine Cellars
• Waters

Participants are invited to watch the live stream from the Randall PR Tastelive page, ask questions and tweet their thoughts on Washington dry rosés using the hashtag #WARose.

Here is where you can register. Gonna be a party!
