Vino di casa

Would it interesgt you to try a HAL p pick of US north west wines and designate it a house wine?

Would you be interested? I'd b e curious which they selected out of the many choices. . :)

They already have a partnership with Chateau Ste Michelle from Washington State, making it very difficult for them to pick anything else.

There are a couple of NW wines they serve that are very nice .. Betz Pere de Famille and Silverado ... those would be great choices!

Bring on the Charles Shaw. Naaaah, not exotic enough to charge a premim price and HAL cannot get it cheap enough, even in bulk.

Hey, I was trying to give the idea some dignity!

Yes: Cayuse, Nine Hats, Chateau Ste Michelle and Columbia Crest, all have some good ones.

I know HAL stocks the Nine Hats and it is quite potable.

I like Columbia Crest Grand Estates as well as Chateau Ste Michelle.

Love Chateau Ste Michelle.. ;):D

I hear Oprah might be endorsing a wine..that’s probably something HAL will get behind :) LOL

Love Chateau Ste Michelle.. ;):D

YMMV but we do not care for Chateau Ste Michelle.

Here's the problem with quality wines. The bar manager of our Country Club told us that he would like to upgrade the wine list but the typical customer wine selection process works like this: white wine fish, red wine beef, we're having beef so what's the cheapest red on the list. And, yes, our club stocks Chateau Ste Michelle.

Holland isn't going to pay much more than $3 per bottle for a house wine. Just picked up our wines for our next cruise. Prices ranged from $25 to $50 per bottle.

We also order Chateau Ste Michelle from time to time on a cruise.

They make wine in the North West? Never heard of it.....

Yes, some of it quite good and renowned. Washington state is # 2 behind you there in California. Oregon pinot noir from the Willamette Valley rivals that of Burgundy in quality. Two really nice road trips are visiting Walla Walla in Washington and the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Read below if you're interested in learning about U.S. Northwest wines:

We enjoyed many a bottle of Silverado. It is very much to my taste.

And yes, I like some of the St. Michelle, I forgot about the HAL connection. They don't particularly advertise it. :)

You're welcome, neighbor (neighbour) to the north! My husband and I have toured British Columbia's beautiful Okanagan wine region, and enjoyed many a wonderful glass of wine there. (We even have a few special bottles in our wine cellar:D)

Great post. Thanks for it

You are welcome, Sail. Thanks for a nice thread, even if you did try to post it 3 times initially:D(y), lol

One of our favorite PNW vinyards.. :)

In our opinion, their wines rival anything we've had in California's wine country (including Napa Valley).;):D

I know we totall enjoyed the North west wines we had with our dinners in Seattle
