  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008
    Summary of Results: Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008 Wine Grape Cultivar Trials 2000-2008 in the Cool Maritime Climate of Western WA Gary Moulton, Carol Miles, Jacqueline King, and Charla Echlin WSU Mount Vernon NWREC 16650 State Route 536, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 Tel. 360-848-6150 Email [email protected] http://extension.wsu.edu/maritimefruit/Pages/default.aspx Wines produced from grapes grown in cool climate regions have generally low alcohol content, low viscosity, and high fruit aromas and flavor (Casteel, 1992; Jackson and Schuster, 1977; Zoecklein, 1998). Certain varietals from Germany, Austria Russia, Hungary, and Armenia, as well as some common French varieties such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris can produce excellent fruity wines in western Washington. Selection of the right clone is important and knowing the heat units of your site will greatly aid in the selection of which varieties to grow. The cool maritime region of western Washington is on the very low end of the spectrum with respect to the number of growing degree days (GDD) needed for ripening the more common wine grape cultivars. Although the Puget Sound region has a long growing season in terms of frost free days, mesoclimates within the area range from below 1200 GDD to 2200 GDD. The Washington State University Mount Vernon Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU Mount Vernon NWREC) research site is located at 12 feet above sea level in the Skagit Valley floodplain, 3 miles from the Puget Sound. Since 2002, annual GDD averaged 1693; in 2003 there was a spike in GDD of 1965.
