in. (There’s nothing better than a great hamburger on a road trip.) From there on, you breeze through farm towns, high desert and the Tri-Cities area into Walla Walla. A word to the wise – It’s easy to speed down the wide-open ribbons of highway in these parts. Keep in mind that state and local police armed with radar guns love to lurk in hard to spot places and welcome you to Washington State with a speeding ticket. “Real People Making Great Wine” is the slogan of the Walla Walla Wine Alliance. And it’s true; we tasted some very fine wine here, and most of the people we met here were absolutely real, as far as I could tell. This wine country really feels like traditional farm country, think Kansas with grapevines. The pace of life is relaxed, even slow, and the locals are friendly salt-of-the-earth types. Walla Walla was first explored by Lewis and Clark in 1806 and populated by fur traders and then farmers who arrived in wagon trains in 1840s. The downtown core is edging toward wine-country gentrified with refurbished historic hotels, trendy wine tasting rooms and surprisingly good eateries. But it still feels like a farm town - and that’s kind of refreshing. Although wine was produced by Italian immigrants from the early 1950s, the area was mostly known for its rich farm land producing wheat, asparagus, strawberries and especially Walla Walla Sweet Onions. It wasn’t until the 1970s that modern varietals were planted and by 1978 Leonetti’s Cabernet got national recognition. Wine making really got serious here and by 2012 five of the top 100 wineries of the world were in Walla Walla according to Wine & Spirits Magazine. 20 Wine Dine & Travel Summer/Fall <strong>2015</strong>
