The Exxon-Valdez:
1 part smoked salmon flavored vodka.

Sure, Corona is the best-selling beer produced by Mexico, but does that mean it’s the best-tasting Mexican beer?

We have already hinted about Washington State’s so-called GSM-blended wines. Now, our friend Paul Gregutt explores the trend and offers a modest list of worth-trying options. The state of Washington is second only to California in grape production, total wine bottling, and total amount of AVAs . Salud!
Grenache has come roaring back, once again an important component in blends, notably the GSM (grenache-syrah-mourvèdre) wines based on southern French reds. More and more Washington wineries are offering grenache in a blend or as a varietal wine, and as new plantings mature and winemakers get more experience with the grape, quality is on the upswing.
