One of my Favorite Value Wine Brands - Wines of Substance

Remember the periodic table of the elements from your high school chemistry class?  Winemakers Greg Harrington of Gramercy Cellars and Jamie Brown of Waters Winery have re-imagined it as the Washington State Periodic Table of Wine.  One of my favorite brands in the country, Wines of Substance strives to highlight the unique terroirs of Washington and produce every varietal which grows in the state.  The iconic packaging and innovative website are my favorite!  The periodic table includes elemental-ish symbols for more than two dozen varietals grown in Washington (e.g. Me for Merlot, Ch for Chardonnay), which sharply translates into sleek, cool graphics for the wine labels.  The concept is to provide a bit of a tasting primer for beginning wine drinkers to start to be able to identify unique attributes of wines, by highlighting them in their purest form.  That being said, these wines are surprise hits even for the wine snobs among us.  Substance is the kind of homework that most anyone would be able to get into!
