VineLines Dispatch coverage of 2019 vintage continues

By on October 29, 2019

The 2019 harvest throughout the Pacific Northwest was more panicked and compressed than in recent vintages, and Richard Duval, a photojournalist based in Woodinville, Wash., captured some of the action and emotion with his imagery.

Recently, Duval roamed the Royal Slope, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley and Red Mountain.

He continues to roam the Northwest looking for photo opportunities as part of our expansive coverage of the 2019 vintage. Contact him at rduval@pobox.com with updates about your activities. He will make every effort to come.
