Daniel,
Don't worry, Washington wine is a secret even here in the US! Most folks don't realize that Eastern WA has a desert like climate...very warm summers, very long days, cool nights. It's not unusual to kick rolling sagebrush out of your way during harvest!Check out the link below...you'll find a list of almost every winery in the state with a pic of their label. Four years ago, probably a third of these wineries didn't even exist!
If you can't find the wine, I can happily recommend some good ones. Earlier this year I had a 1999 (great year here) Pepperbridge Merlot that changed my perception of how good Merlot could be.
