Nebbiolo
The red grape of Barolo and Barbaresco from the Piedmont region of Northwest Italy. Named after the word 'nebbia', or fog in Italian, which rises around the hills of Alba, the famous truffle countryside. It is noted for its high acidity and 'mouth puckering' tannins and its distinct bouquet of black cherries, liquorice and leather. A top Barolo will take years to soften but when mature will evolve the vegetal, gamy characteristics for which this Italian classic is famous. The colour on ageing Nebbiolo wines fades rapidly to form a distinctive brownish rim.

Finally, wine lovers around the country can savor a wine that Northwest locals often describe as "quintessential Northwest."
One of the state's first premium wineries, Snoqualmie witnessed demand for Columbia Valley wines grow beyond available grape supply. Rather than compete with the larger wineries for grapes, Snoqualmie chose to work with its existing vineyards and limit its distribution primarily to the Northwest. But as the call for Columbia Valley wines grew in the mid-1990s, Washington vineyard owners began planting in earnest. And with the new vineyards came new possibilities for Snoqualmie. National expansion begain in 2000. Today, a bottle of Snoqualmie can grace dinner tables from coast to coast as the winery finally enjoys national distribution.
