Q. Thanks for your great articles about Washington state wine growing regions. I am seeking a list of the 500 or so wineries for educational purposes and hoping you could tell me if there is a Web site or resource available?

A. The Washington Wine Commission Web site (www.washingtonwine.org) is a good, quick resource for listings of wineries, itineraries for winery touring, upcoming wine tasting events and detailed information about Washington appellations. The commission also puts out an advertiser-sponsored brochure listing member wineries and providing tasting room hours, addresses, phone numbers and Web sites, along with more general background information.

The brochure is being updated and the newest edition should be out in the next few days. It may be found in many winery tasting rooms or picked up at the commission's Seattle offices, 1000 Second Ave. Suite 1700, or obtained by calling 206-667-9463. It will also mail one to you if you send a request to info@washingtonwine.org. Best of all, the brochure is free.
