Paul Gregutt is perhaps Washington's most well known wine writer.  He produces a list annually of the top wines/wineries in the state.  A wine/winery may only be listed once.  Paul believes if the wine or winery makes this list then probably all the wine produced by that winery are worthy of note.  by doing this he is able to spread the recognition to the top wine/wineries in the state.

Accolades from Paul Gregutt - Well Known Wine Writer

5 Star Rating - Highest Marks Given

The 2nd edition of Paul Gregutt's definitive book on Washington Wines is out. With over 700 wineries in the state, Paul does an excellent job of factual writing on the state's wine industry.

Paul is a long time Washington native and has walked the dirt of the state's vineyard like no other.  He reports on many of the wineries, grape varieties, and vineyards in the state and rates them with stars.  5 Stars is the highest award and only 20 wineries received that honor.  Fielding Hills is one of them. 

This book makes a great gift for the beginning wine enthusiast or for someone already familiar with wine.
