NOT YOUR AVERAGE PLAYING CARD
Washington Wine Playing Cards

Washington wine lovers everywhere will appreciate this new collector’s item, straight from the heart of Washington wine country. Raconteurs Press of Seattle recently released Washington Wine Playing Cards, a collector’s edition deck complete with illustrations, maps and facts highlighting the history of one of the nation’s fastest growing wine regions. Each features an original watercolor picture illustrating some aspect of the state’s wine heritage, including major grape varieties and maps of every appellation.

What's particularly interesting about this item is its wide appeal to a variety of collectors. Card players, wine enthusiasts and Washington tourists alike will all enjoy this rustic-colored deck. But don’t confuse it with your normal $2.99 Bicycle playing cards you can find at the bookstore—this collectible runs at a suggested retail price of $10.95 per deck. Kind of pricy for playing poker, but still a good wine gift nonetheless. For more information, visit www.washingtonwinecards.com.
