Seattle Spells Let's Eat: Food Events & Resources Around the Sound

Wine

Intro

I am no wine expert, and there is so much wine activity here in Seattle, I wouldn't possibly presume to be able to put together a definitive resource.

But if you too are learning to explore wine, or a wine lover on the lookout for more chances to explore your interest, this is a starting point for more wine fun. The Wine Events Calendar has all kinds of tasting and special events. Be sure to check out the Washington Wine Talk Blog Feed also in the sidebar for the up-to-the-minute from Seattle area wine experts and enthusiasts.

Go Analog! Washington Wine Books & Magazines

Eat & Drink Northwest is a series of books focused on pairing local foods and wines.

Wine Press Northwest is a quarterly magazine for those with an interest in wine - from the novice to the veteran." It is published in March, June, September and December and focuses "on Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia's talented winemakers and the wineries, vintners and restaurants that showcase Northwest wines."

Want to plan your own winery tour? Check out Wine Trails of Washington. The book "presents 228 wineries throughout the state of Washington grouped into 32 amazing WineTrails. Most WineTrails can be experienced in a day or two. Profiles of each winery include a winery description, winemaker philosophy, photos, contact information, hours, maps and driving directions."

Paul Gregutt is a heavy-hitter in the world of WA Wine, so check out his site and consider picking up his book Washington Wine and Wineries.

FREE! Wine Tastings

You can see the free wine tastings within the main calendar in the upper right hand corner of this page, but most weeks I'll also post a round-up of just free tastings. You can also check out any of the below local wine shops; they've often offered free tastings in the past.
