  1. Thanks for the suggestion, Lynnell. Can I find this locally?

  2. Natalie's doesn't sell wine on their website. Odom is their distributor in this area. The person that I've met from Odom is Sarah Lucke (800)822-1312 Ext 4128. Another source is to call Esquin Wine Merchants in Seattle (206) 682-7374. However, a far better source is to treat yourself to a trip to the North Willamette Valley located less than an hour from Portland. Pristine country!

  3. This is a great wine. I think it comes from old vines planted along the Columbia river. Unusual to find Zin so far north.
