Washington Wine Quiz Puts Readers’ Knowledge to the Test

A new quiz about Washington wine invites readers to measure how well they know the region’s wines. Its reference to a “Super(Sonic)” score gives the title a playful, competitive tone, although the available summary does not specify the number of questions, their subjects, the difficulty level or how results are calculated.

Testing Washington wine knowledge

Washington wine is the central topic, but the source material does not identify whether the questions cover particular grape varieties, growing areas, wineries or historical developments. It is therefore not possible to determine whether the quiz is primarily intended for general wine consumers or readers with extensive professional knowledge.

The format nevertheless presents wine education as an accessible, interactive exercise. Quizzes can allow readers to check what they already know while identifying subjects they may want to explore in greater depth. Based on the supplied material, however, it is not known whether the answers include explanations or links to additional background information.

Dana Nigro’s editorial career

The accompanying profile outlines the professional background of U.S. wine writer Dana Nigro, who is based in New Jersey. Nigro joined Decanter in June 2026 after spending more than 25 years with Wine Spectator in New York City.

She began at Wine Spectator as a news editor before becoming a senior editor for the magazine and later its digital managing editor. In the digital role, she was responsible for the publication’s website, social media and apps. Her career history therefore includes both traditional magazine editing and responsibility for several digital publishing channels.

From the Finger Lakes to Riesling

Nigro developed her interest in wine while studying magazine journalism in New York’s Finger Lakes wine region. During that period, she took advantage of the wine program at Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration, which the profile describes as excellent.

That early exposure helped make Riesling one of her passions. The supplied excerpt begins to mention another interest but ends before identifying it, so no further detail is available. The profile nevertheless connects Nigro’s later career in wine publishing with formative educational experiences in a recognized wine region and within a university hospitality program.
