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.
