wine industry

AP - Across central Washington's fruit bowl, farmers are buying vineyards, hoping to establish roots in the area and capitalize on the booming wine industry.

A legendary French winery is purchasing a famous winemaker in California. The deal comes decades after the same California winery beat French wines in a blind taste test.

Vic Motto, a wine industry investment banker, says it's "a very important merger of two great wine estates."
