Robin Pollard State Quotations

Taste Washington is one of the largest wine events in the nation highlighting a single wine region, providing connoisseurs and novices alike with the opportunity to mingle with Washington winemakers, sample hundreds of award winning wines and learn from leading experts in the field. We are introducing some changes to Taste Washington this year to bring the focus back to wine and create a more relaxed, intimate tasting experience for attendees. With more than 380 wineries located in virtually every corner of the state, our 'Ultimate Wine Tour' theme shines a spotlight on the many touring regions wine enthusiasts can visit, and reinforces the message that Washington state truly is wine country.

It's really going to be on a case-by-case basis. I suppose there is that danger of diluting the overall message and creating some confusion. From where I sit, we certainly are placing a priority on branding Washington state as the wine region.
