Washington Hills - 2010 Washington Hills Sauvignon Blanc - 90 Points, Top 100 BEST BUYS
Wine Enthusiast#10 BEST BUY Wines of 2011

Washington Hills - 2010 Washington Hills Late Harvest Sweet Riesling - 88 Points, BEST BUY
Wine Enthusiast"Off-dry, this pleasant sipper also brings lemon tea flavors, and a light graceful structure to bear. Apricot and peach fruit, lightly kissed with tangerine, makes it a solid sipper." -Paul Gregutt, September 2011

Washington Hills - 2007 Washington Hills Cabernet Sauvignon - 88 Points, BEST BUY
Wine Enthusiast"It's hard to find a $10 Cabernet with this much muscle and depth. Solid black cherry and cassis fruit anchors a wine with dark streaks of espresso, bitter chocolate and smoke. The tannins are nicely repened also, and the wine leaves a chocolaty trail as it fades/" - Paul Gregutt, August 2010

Washington Hills - Washington Hills Cask Riesling, Great Value and Quality!

Washington Hills - Washignton Hills Cask Wines - Portability is a Plus With Wine in a Box
The Seattle Times"Washington Hills offers several Washington wines; the best is the Riesling"
... "The big plusses, apart from the environmental benefits, are that you get more wine for your money, you can enjoy as little as a glass a day and keep it fresh, you don't have glass to recycle, and the smaller cartons are great for backpacking, boating or any outdoor situation where glass can be dangerous.
There are other advantages. The rectangular boxes are easy to stack and store, and may be kept on a kitchen counter (best for red wines) or in the fridge (for whites). Once chilled, they hold their temperature longer than bottles, a plus on a picnic, a boat trip or a hike. They are surprisingly light considering how much they hold, and they do not require a corkscrew or any special tool to open.
Note that a 1-liter package contains a third more wine than a regular bottle. So if you are paying around $20 for your 3-liter bag-in-box, that's your basic five-buck chuck-only with better wine." - Paul Gregutt, The Seattle Times, January 2010

Washington Hills - Bag in Box Riesling- "A Box of Sweet Sips," Recommended!
Relish Magazinethe June issue of Relish Magazine (10 Million+ Circulation); Wini Moranville RECOMMENDS Washington Hills 3-Liter/Box Riesling for the summer! "More lightweight than the equivalent in bottles, this clever container is easy to tote to the places you're most likely to go barefoot (poolside, dockside, beachside). Plus, it's nicely priced ($20) for serving a crowd at informal picnics and barbecues."
As Wini mentions, Washington Hills Riesling truly is "a Box of Sweet Sips" and as we just passed our first day of summer; there's no time like the present to forward this superb endorsement.
