In fact, the first wineries in the Pacific Northwest actually were located in Idaho. In the year 1862, vines were planted in the Clearwater Valley by two French and one German immigrant, credited with bringing cuttings from Europe. The expertise of these immigrants paid off, and by 1872 a thriving new region became known nationally for its wines, taking gold medals at expositions in Omaha, Buffalo, St. Louis and Portland. At the 1898 Chicago World's Fair a Clearwater River Valley wine won acclaim, and at the 1904 International Exposition, placed second behind Chateau Cheval Blanc.
I switched the importance to low. Wine Competitions are not a particularly important aspect of understanding or enjoying wine.Mikecase00 20:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
