1/24/08 Love Washington Wines

Love Washington Web. I'm Greg Martin with today's Fruit Grower Report. Are you a fan of Washington wines? Like to give Washington wines as gifts? Like to have access to some great wines all in one place? Then visit lovewashingtonwine.com. BELCASTO: LoveWashingtonWine is an online website where small boutique wineries in Washington State gather to sell their wines online and these maybe wines that are award winning wines, they're hard to find, sought after wines where they may not have the nationwide distribution that the big wineries have but their fabulous wines. That's Trisha Belcastro who says that the web site has recently undergone an extreme makeover. BELCASTRO: What Love Washington Wine wanted to do was to take that wine experience, the taste, the aroma, the occasions when people drink wine and bring that to the wine site, so it's all about the colors and the flavors of the wines. It's colored in vanilla and burgundy and chocolate colors  which are some of the aromas in wine. It's a visual experience but it's till about the wine. The search engine has been improved and there is a lot of other great information included as well. BELCASTRO: We've added wine expert Amy Mummas' e-column "Notes from the Cellar". We're also launching videos featuring interviews with the wine-makers so it's deeper content to help people learn about wines, find wines and drink great Washington wines. That's today's Fruit Grower Report. I'm Greg Martin on the Northwest Ag Information Network.
