But some brewers in the nation's largest hop-growing region say their products should be included, too. A bill sponsored by Rep. Bob Hasegawa, D-Seattle, would allow the Legislative Gift Center on the first floor of the Capitol building to add bottles of Washington wine to its ample product display, which includes locally produced candies, candles, gourmet foods and flowers.

Washington would be smart to promote its wines and its beers! Here in NY, they make wine, but nobody can buy it in the grocery stores (like they can in WA). And with the damned deposit laws, none of the grocery stores want to sell really good beer, either. They don't want to have to program any more than MillerBudCoors into the bottle return machines.

Sometimes I miss my old home state!
