7th Annual Cascadia International Wine Competition
The seventh annual Cascadia International Wine Competition was staged April 9-11, 2019.
A panel of 22 winemakers, viticulturists, wine buyers, writers and restaurateurs from California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia spent three days a stone’s throw from the Columbia River at the Courtyard Marriott Columbia Point in Richland, Wash.
Columbia Gorge destination Maryhill Winery opens two more tasting rooms in 2019, and New Zealand-born talent Richard Batchelor will fill them with some of the Pacific Northwest’s best wines. He and right-hand man Dirk Richardson delivered 10 gold medals for owners Craig and Vicki Leuthold, among those was a double gold for Cab from McKinley Springs, a sibling planting to Coyote Canyon Vineyard.
