He told us that it is one of his favorite wines to make and that a bottle of Syrah - the  1988 Columbia Winery Red Willow Vineyard Syrah -  actu ally brought him to tears. Syrah was only introduced in Washington in 1986, so it's one of the newer Washington varieties though it is now the third most c...
