  • 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Washington State Wine Industry Colleagues and Friends
    2020 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Washington State wine industry colleagues and friends, Fiscal Year 2020 (July 2019-June 2020) was on track to be one of our busiest years ever. From July through February, our team was laser-focused on executing programs and events all over the country that engaged high level trade and media in order to drive opportunity and growth for Washington wineries. In March 2020, COVID-19 put a halt to travel, yet our team has taken on the challenge to innovate and market Washington wine in new, creative ways. We’ve significantly enhanced our presence and activity on social media, and increased our digital marketing efforts tenfold. We worked collaboratively with our partners to plan and execute virtual media tours, online seminars, and even Zoom winemaker dinners. We created two different digital conversation series to engage our network of wine professionals both nationally and internationally. Constituent communications became an even higher priority, to keep our wineries and vineyards well informed about the many changes and adjustments coming from the Governor’s office. We launched a new brand logo and a new marketing campaign, Drink. For WA., to support Washington wineries as well as our neighbors and friends in the restaurant and hospitality industries. We are thoughtfully addressing the social justice movements, and our board formed a Diversity & Inclusion Task Force to help lead the industry in ongoing learning and dialogue. Our research program continues to soar, and the online seminar format allows more of our industry to engage and give input on the future of Washington wine.

  • Periodically Spaced Anticlines of the Columbia Plateau
    Geological Society of America Special Paper 239 1989 Periodically spaced anticlines of the Columbia Plateau Thomas R. Watters Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 20560 ABSTRACT Deformation of the continental flood-basalt in the westernmost portion of the Columbia Plateau has resulted in regularly spaced anticlinal ridges. The periodic nature of the anticlines is characterized by dividing the Yakima fold belt into three domains on the basis of spacings and orientations: (1) the northern domain, made up of the eastern segments of Umtanum Ridge, the Saddle Mountains, and the Frenchman Hills; (2) the central domain, made up of segments of Rattlesnake Ridge, the eastern segments of Horse Heaven Hills, Yakima Ridge, the western segments of Umtanum Ridge, Cleman Mountain, Bethel Ridge, and Manastash Ridge; and (3) the southern domain, made up of Gordon Ridge, the Columbia Hills, the western segment of Horse Heaven Hills, Toppenish Ridge, and Ahtanum Ridge. The northern, central, and southern domains have mean spacings of 19.6,11.6, and 27.6 km, respectively, with a total range of 4 to 36 km and a mean of 20.4 km (n = 203). The basalts are modeled as a multilayer of thin linear elastic plates with frictionless contacts, resting on a mechanically weak elastic substrate of finite thickness, that has buckled at a critical wavelength of folding. Free slip between layers is assumed, based on the presence of thin sedimentary interbeds in the Grande Ronde Basalt separating groups of flows with an average thickness of roughly 280 m.

  • THE WINES of WASHINGTON 2019 Andrew Will Winery Defining the Terroir of Washington State
    THE WINES OF WASHINGTON 2019 Andrew Will Winery Defining the Terroir of Washington State “I am not interested in the similarities of my wines but the differences. The different identities of our vineyards and varietals which explore the identity of Washington State as distinct from California or Bordeaux.” Chris Camarda, Owner & Winemaker "[Chris Camarda] makes a bevy of incredible wines that will stand toe to toe with Bordeaux's 3-4+ times their going rates.” - Jeb Dunnick, The Wine Advocate "...These single vineyard bottlings are amongst the most superb wines made in the US today and are built to age long and gracefully in the cellars and only reveal their entire complement of aromatic and flavor complexities in the fullness of time." John Gilman, View From The Cellar Working out of a humble 60’ by 10’ winery, winemaker Chris Camarda launched Andrew Will Winery (Named after Chris’s son Will and Nephew Andrew) with his inaugural 1989 vintage. He has spent the last two decades producing some of Washington’s most well respected wines. Structured, elegant, and age worthy, they are a singular voice that has never adjusted in an attempt to chase scores or suit trends. Although always a focus, Chris’ attention to terroir has only intensified over time. Since 2001 he almost exclusively produces single vineyard blends as he feels this shows the terroir more clearly than a single varietal bottling. Currently he only sources from four vineyards that he feels provide the finest fruit: Champoux, Discovery, Two Blondes, and Ciel du Cheval. All Andrew Will wines are treated more or less the same in the cellar; 25-35% new oak barrels, aged for around 21 months, followed by a year of aging in bottle.

  • 2018 RESEARCH ANNUAL REPORT Dear Washington State Wine Industry Colleagues and Friends
    2018 RESEARCH ANNUAL REPORT Dear Washington State Wine Industry Colleagues and Friends, In three short years, Washington State Wine has taken our viticulture and enology research program to new heights. We’re proud to share the 2018 program highlights with you in this annual report and hope you will take a few moments to learn more about the industry’s wine research program. The research program is guided by a well-defined strategic plan that was developed with broad industry input. It is one of a few in the nation funded by all wine grape growers and wineries in the state. In a nutshell, the program is: • Industry driven – research priorities are established by growers and wineries • Industry guided – funding recommendations are approved by industry • Accessible to all – winemakers and growers, regardless of size, have access to research results Washington State Wine Board members who sit on its Research Committee and volunteer industry mem- bers of the Wine Research Advisory Committee (WRAC), a subcommittee of Washington State Wine, play a crucial role for the wine research program. The Research Committee has fiduciary oversight and drives the Washington State Wine research program; WRAC works to keep the statewide viticulture and enology research program impactful and relevant to the wine industry. The ultimate goal is to help Washington wine producers—both growers and winemakers—grow even better grapes and make even better wine by providing science-based tools to help them improve. Research is a stra- tegic imperative for the industry’s continued health and long-term growth, and one of four pillars of Washing- ton State Wine’s overall strategic plan.

    UNIT 3 Vineyard Practices Conserving H2O ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES L’Ecole No 41 is a leader and active proponent of the growing sustainable farming program in the Walla Walla Valley. VINEA (The Winegrower’s Sustainable Trust) is a voluntary group of Walla Walla Valley winegrowers pursuing sustainability in the valley. VINEA works with Oregon’s LIVE (Low-Input Viticulture and Enology) to provide internationally accredited third-party certification to winegrowers in the Pacific Northwest, one of the highest certifications in the world for sustainable viticulture. Sustainability is particularly relevant in the field of viticulture where the vineyard is seen as a large integrated farm, where plant, animal and microbial life, aided by soil and water quality, contribute to the overall health of the environment and therefore the development and quality of the crop. Protecting the health of the vineyard’s The Walla Walla Valley receives only soil and surrounding environment is intrinsic to enhancing terroir. 8-12 inches of rain annually, so while All of L’Ecole’s Estate wines are Certified Sustainable and Salmon Safe. the need to irrigate our vineyards is essential, it must be managed Benefits of Sustainable Farming meticulously.
