A place so nice, they named it twice!  Yep, there is plenty of cheese in Walla Walla, and not just in the motto. 

There is also plenty of wine to be paired with the cheese.  Word on the street is, Walla Walla is "the next Napa".  Walla Walla had 6 wineries in 1990, and now boasts over 100 in the valley. The wines are receiving a lot of recognition, but the town remains quaintly sleepy - for the time being.  As Walla Walla is roughly 4 hours drive from most major cities, the distance might be it's way of retaining the small-town charm.  Or keeping out the riff-raff.
