Washington wines are making inroads across the nation

A few short years ago, the number of Washington state wines available in Maryland could be counted on one hand. Today 56 brands are available. Washington is number two in total gallons of wine produced, although it only represents 2 percent of total wine production in the United States, with California generating 90 percent of total gallons. However, the more we taste wines from Washington, the more we are impressed with the quality and unique terroir that make them a welcome visitor in our homes.
