Would you like to learn more about Washington cabernet from folks around the world? Are you interested in sharing your experience drinking Washington cabernet with others online? Are there stories about a Washington cabernet that go beyond the bottle worth sharing? If so, then I encourage you to participate in today's Wine Blogging Wednesday event, which is being hosted by Cattie of Through the Walla Walla Grape Vine.

As host, Cattie will post contributing blogs and their links on her site, which will hopefully build into a useful collection of tastings, experiences, and stories about Washington cabernet. Even if you're not blogging about wine, it is a great way to discover new Washington wines and those blogging about them.

Unfortunately, I am unable to participate in Wednesday's virtual tasting, as I am on vacation in the Colorado Rockies, far from any source of Washington cabernet. Being at 8,750 feet above sea level with the nearest town 10 miles away, wine is hard to come by up here. Suffice it to say, I am enjoying a lot of beer as my preferred choice of refreshment this week (and a ton of water to compensate for the dry air).

Finally, a note on Cattie's blog, Through the Walla Walla Grapevine. Cattie offers a great way to learn more about the people and places producing wine in the Walla Walla Valley. I have been following Cattie's blog for a couple of months now and really enjoy her commentaries and stories about Washington wine.
