Cross State Washington Cabernet Clash
December is cyclocross season for the pro bike racers and some of the best racers are battling it out in Belgium. The race conditions get brutal at this time of year with all sorts of mud, sand and snow all topped off with thousands of screaming fans lining the courses.
Our weather may not be quite so radical, but this week's battle just might be worthy of the hype. The final installment in the Lucha Vino Seattle Urban Wineries v. Lake Chelan AVA intra-state rivalry series features a clash of Cabernet Sauvignons - what some people call The King of Grapes. This one is a doozy, featuring a young gun stepping up to challenge a wily veteran.
