Not bad for our local NCW area! And as you all know, not all wineries enter this competition. We have outstanding wines from wineries other than those in the competition--and this is just our local area. In the same judging, wines from other parts of Washington showed outstandingly well, with five wineries receiving overall Best of Class in six categories. You can read more about it in Alex's Examiner column.
