Walla Walla has it all for a wine trip: breathtaking natural splendor of the Columbia Valley, foodie havens and the Vintage Walla Walla weekend for an insider's experience of America's rising star region (June 16-18; onewineweekend.com). Syrah is Walla Walla's hallmark and DaMa's label depicts its Syrah – plump and inviting flesh brimming out from velvety texture. It's a little smoky, a little spicy, and to some, it's sure to say ‘Mom.'
