Washington Wine Month at state liquor stores generally brings tremendous discounts while supporting state vintners. Last year, Washington Wine Month moved to September, but the state has returned it to August this year. Late Harvest Chenin Blanc (dessert Wine) This year, wine lovers will see price reductions on nearly 200 different wines, with discounts ranging from 5 percent to nearly 50 percent. While many of the wines come from larger producers such as Columbia Crest, Hogue Cellars and Covey Run Winery, there also are several wines from smaller wineries, including Hyatt Vineyards, Randall Harris, Hoodsport Winery and Steppe Cellars.Here are a few of the best bargains we picked out: -- Washington Hills, which is owned by Precept Brands in Seattle, produces a three-liter premium boxed wine, the equivalent of four bottles of wine. Each box costs $14.99 at the liquor store, bringing the cost per "bottle" down to $3.75. It comes in Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio and Merlot. Now, at least a few people are trying to add something new to the list of successful crops -- grapes ripe for wine. While western Michigan and parts of Ontario for years have been producing quality wines and marketing vineyards as tourist attractions, eastern Michigan largely has missed out on the action. But, some experts are saying it doesn't have to be that way. Late Harvest Chenin Blanc (dessert Wine) Apparently, turning places such as St. Clair and Sanilac counties into wine country is all about finding the right combination of soil, fruit and enthusiasts.In the U.S., boxed or kegged wine is often seen as cheap or bad. P.F. Chang's hopes to upgrade that image with its boxed wine. With the launch of the boxed wine Vineyard 518, P.F. Chang's China Bistro has propelled itself to the front of a national drinking trend. As bars and restaurants become more eco-friendly and value-focused, they become less tradition-obsessed, and Scottsdale-based P.F. Chang's is on a short list of restaurants offering drinkers a greener, cheaper way to imbibe.

While the small, original tasting room and the winery itself were undamaged, the fire left the winery crammed during high season, forcing them to erect a large tent. Trying to make the best of a bad situation, owner Fred Frank asked all employees for input on how to improve the new space. "We added bigger windows, offering great panoramic views," he says. They also put in noise-absorbing ceiling tiles, a better air-conditioning system and attached bathrooms—something no good tasting room should be without.
