Once again, Taylor Shellfish (and my friend Jon Rowley)sponsored the Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition to find the best wines to accompany oysters. The best wines are crisp and God-like with fresh oysters. Here are this year's winners:

Listed alphabetically:

Acrobat 08 Pinot Gris (OR)

Anne Amie Vineyards 09 Pinot Gris (OR)

Anne Amie Vineyards Cuvee A 09 Müller-Thurgau (OR)

**Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery 08 Sauvignon Blanc (WA)

CMS White 08 (WA)

*Columbia Winery 08 Pinot Gris (WA)

Franciscan Estates 08 Sauvignon Blanc (CA)

Heitz Wine Cellars 09 Sauvignon Blanc (CA)

*King Estate Winery 08 Pinot Gris (OR)

**Kunde Family Estate 09 Sauvignon Blanc (CA)

* Prior Oyster Award Winner       ** Multiple prior Oyster Awards

I'm sure these are all great, or you can always drink whisky with oysters for my personal favorite food/drink pairing...
