D Magazine's SideDish section calls Woodinville "somewhat kitschy."

Dallas does Woodinville?

It does now.

D Magazine's SideDish section today is touting Woodinville as a great place to visit to try wine and get out of the Dallas, TX, heat. 

From the article by a reporter who (freely) admits she visited Woodinvile as a guest of :

"If you haven’t been watching what is going on in Washington State lately, you are missing out. These Woodinville wineries are impressive, many sourcing fruit from the prized, mineral rich Walla Walla soil, to make hearty reds like Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon."

Although she understandably waxes on about Chateau Ste. Michelle, the reporter also said she visited and Delille Cellars and later tried wines from , and .

Of Woodinville, she said:

"This is a town designed for tourists, and though somewhat kitschy, I appreciated the layout of the comfortable town."

She finished the article by calling Woodinville "a serene part of the country" and encouraged Texans to visit on a cool summer weekend. 

What do you think about her review of Woodinville? Spot on? Way off? Are you pleased about a writeup such as this potentially bringing more tourism to the area? Tell us in comments.

I have been extremely frustrated in the past in trying to effectively communicate with Frontier. MyRead More developing sense was one of very poor live support. I find it refreshing to see Frontier respond in a timely manner to this very public assertion. One can hope this is also occurring in your phone support, especially after hours...

I have spoken to Mr. Gaulke and assured him we are not cutting speeds in the Woodinville market (orRead More any of our markets). We are working with him to approach his technical issues from scratch and will do all we can to alleviate his concerns about his speeds. His business, and all the business from our customers in the Woodinville market is very valuable to us. While we are disappointed to receive feedback his service is not living up to our standards, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Mr. Gaulke and keep his valuable business. We welcome inquiries from other customers if there is anything we can do to improve. Please reach out to me at 425.275.8579 and let us know how we can help.

Frontier has spent the past three years expanding broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes acrossRead More the US and increasing speeds in many of our markets. Mr. Gaulke’s experience and recount of his conversation with one of our reps comes as a surprise to us. We are checking our records to find out what the possible miscommunication could have been. In the meantime, let us be clear: We are not decreasing speeds in Woodinvile, or any of our markets for that matter. We will be reaching out to Mr. Gaulke to see if we can alleviate any lingering concerns. Christy Reap Frontier Communications
