(KING5) - You could say that Washington Governor Chris Gregoire has started a war of wine words. On Monday, while announcing funding for a new $5 million wine research center in Richland, she uncorked a story about a recent trade mission to Europe. “Someone asked me what about California wine, and I said they make jug wine. We make fine wine!” Her comment drew cheers and laughter. Washington is second to California in wineries, with more than 700, or double the number of five years ago. Columbia Winery Wine Educator Steven Petersen believes the governor has a good argument.
