Anne Sampson has been writing about wines and Northwest wine country for 15 years. Formerly the managing editor of Omaha Magazine, she left her native Midwestern roots in 1989 and transplanted her career, along with her family, to eastern Washington, where the sun shines hot, the nights breathe cool, and the grapes grow dense. In that time, she's written for a wide variety of publications, including Wine Press Northwest, Wines & Vines, Northwest Palate, and Good Fruit Grower.
