On March 17, St. Patrick's Day, we chase them out. I have lived here for 30 years and have yet to see one. Actually, the AVA is totally in Yakima County, although the range of hills extends into Benton County. The AVA is one of the warmest in the state and is home to many great wines due to the varied topography of the hills. North slopes grow great cool climate grapes, while the south slopes grow big reds. You might visit my blog, the Grumpy Winemaker.

Very disappointing, My favorite is still the California Wine Club because they focus on wine from smaller vineyards that don't distribute widely.

Unfortunately, you are right - this is not about readers' opinions (or perhaps anyone's opinion), just on capitalizing on the discounts. I guess the buck always wins out. I get shipments from one that are clearly inferior products. cheap looking labels, and most often, bad wine. Wine clubs were a very cool idea in the beginning, and perhaps still are, but too many people jumped on the wagon, and now everyone has a wine club, many not even related to actual wineries!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('313','Margie Tosch'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('313','Margie Tosch','My guess is that they are taking advantage of the huge overstock of wine out there that wineries are deeply discounting in order to move.
