This weekend - November 6-8 - is Fall Release Weekend in Walla Walla. It is when most wineries officially release their new vintages for autumn. Here is my listing of wineries that I recommend visiting.

Tero Estates / Flying Trout - Here, Jan and Doug Roskelley and Ashley Trout have a bunch of new vintages, including the highly impressive Tero 2010 Old Block Cabernet Sauvignon (19.5/20 points) and Flying Trout 2013 Konnowak Malbec (both reviewed in the October issue of the Review of Washington Wines).

Seven Hills - Some new 2013's (reviewed November) will be poured, along with some library wines.

Forgeron Cellars, Kontos Cellars, Mark Ryan, El Corazon, Isenhower, Sleight of Hand - New releases, reviewed in November, will be poured at these downtown and South Valley wineries

Walla Walla Vintners, àMaurice - These two wineries off Mill Creek Road, east of Walla Walla will be having their new Fall Releases from the 2013 vintage. Reviewed November
