K Vintners Wine Dinner
In April 2009, Paul Gregutt awarded 100 points to Smith’s 2006 Royal City Syrah, calling it “the finest syrah I have ever tasted from Washington State, and in fact as good as any young syrah I have ever tasted from anywhere.” Charles brought a bottle or two of this stunning wine to share with dinner guests!
