Wounded Wine Town

Wounded Wine Town
In this photo taken Monday, April 27, 2009, Dustin Mowe, president of wine cork supplier Portocork, sniffs a 2008 Chardonnay at the L'Ecole No. 41 winery in Lowden, Wash., near Walla Walla, Wash. The two work for a wine cork business. As the number of wineries near Walla Walla increased to more than 100 in the past decade, wine enthusiasts started calling it the Napa Valley of the Northwest. Now, leaders in this and other rising wine regions from New York to Central California that are far from urban centers wonder if the recession will leave a temporary blemish or start them on a permanent downslide.
