It's Washington against the world!Posted by Jeff Gordon in Untagged |
OK. Here is my first shot at this blog thing. This industry is amazing. There are 650 wineries in Washington. For the most part, we only compete in the retail arena. We support each other. No matter what we like to think, we are chasing other regions in the world for attention, for acceptance, for respect, for all the things that will make us the number 1 wine region in the world. We have to support each other!
I have found that for the most part if you travel as little as 200 miles outside the State, nobody cares about different regions in the Washington. They care about what they can sell to their customers.
I think for the most part we have done a good job presenting that quality. I have seen in the past couple of years an actual Washington section in wine shops outside the Northwest. We have made great inroads in the market place, but we have so far to go.
