Bob Beekman, Owner
Your site is THE BEST for NW wine tourism.
PROFESSIONAL FRIENDS OF WINE
HIGHLY RECOMMENDS
"Wines Northwest
is a well-designed,
well-maintained, and easily-navigated site that covers the wine regions of
British Columbia, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In addition to engaging
writing, it includes photos, labels, maps, tasting notes, lists of wine
shops, restaurants and lodging, tour guides, etc. Pages dedicated to
individual wineries... provide loads of information, in some cases more than
the winery's own site. A beautiful and thorough job by Susan O'Hara."
