 Part of what makes Washington wine so appealing, the wine line you may have heard of. Our wine country and the Bordeaux region both sit on the 46th parallel, offering some striking similarities. But when you go to Paris and you're looking for wine, don't act like a tourist. In other words, over there, don't order wine by varietal. And if they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot. No, if anybody orders Merlot, I'm leaving.
