I have been spending some time in the San Juan Islands area of the Pacific Northwest, teaching sailing.  There’s a great wine shop in Anacortes called Compass Wines that has quite a varied selection of wines.  I have purchased from them on several occasions and enjoyed their offerings (except one) but took zero notes.  I seldom just drink a new wine without much thought to it so it’s a refreshing change to just pop-n-pour.  Here are a few I have bought from them, and with the exception of the Freisa, all were delicious and nicely structured.
