Northwest wine (Avalon) website has updated their selections as of May 2007. The 2006 R. Stuart Big Fire makes the list but one I would like to try is the O'Reilly, second label from Owen Roe at about $16 a bottle.

Thanks for the link, Jane. We've tried about half, but not all the current vintages. We liked the O'Reilly '03 and '04 -- haven't tried the '06. We liked most everything we tried from Medici, including a wonderful dessert wine that I think we drank on the '05 offline at some point -- we may have left a bottle with Kathy after the Saturday dinner at her place. The '02 Brooks was great -- again, haven't tasted the current vintage. We did try the '05 Penner-Ash Rubio, which is a blend of Syrah and Pinot. We liked it, but not enough to buy it. Frankly, her Syrah always seems to taste like a Pinot, so the blend isn't all that unusual. We also liked the '03 and '04 Solena, but have yet to taste the current vintage. Again, thanks for the link!
