    West Side Wine Club May 2011 President’s Musings ! ! April showers bring…. May showers. Our cool spring continues, although the grapevines have budded, the next stumbling block is blossoming. Once blossoming has occurred, the rate of ripening is has little room for variation. A grape, after all, can only ripen so fast. But there are factors at work that do effect ripening. In a perfect year, we would have 80 degree days all day, never over- but Scheduled Meetings rarely under. January 19, 2011 During this time period, we watch carefully hoping to purchase good grapes. This year has been a Crush Talk struggle so far. Viticulturists in eastern Washington have been hesitant to commit so far. The freeze January 22, 2011 last fall has wine makers running around trying to find out how much they have and if they can Holiday Party/Awards replace any shortfalls. This means that when the growers tells us what’s available, we will need to Gala jump on our orders to insure we can get a variety of grapes. Some grapes will not be a problem. Others will be difficult to purchase. Sammy has been in discussions with growers and will let us know February 16, 2011 when he knows more. Red Bordeaux Tasting But this is also a time to think about purchasing barrels. May15th is the deadline for purchasing February 27, 2011 barrels at Bouchard cooperages at a discount and with no shipping cost. They make Damy, Vicard, Argyle Winery Tour Billon and Cadus barrels. All their barrels are quite good, although each provides different component to a wine.

    2015 CHATEAU DE LA RIVIERE FAKTA Fronsac AOC, Bordeaux Rødvin Drue(r): 2% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, Distriktet Bordeaux-distriktet Fronsac ligger i nærheden af byen Libourne nord for Dordognefloden, og har været kendt for sine 8% Cabernet Franc, 84% Merlot vine længe før, områder som fx Graves eller Médoc begyndte at plante vinstokke. Fronsac kan desuden prale med at Alkohol: 14.5% høre under en af de ældste vinlovgivninger i Bordeaux. Områdets komplekse jordbundsforhold med rige aflejringer Skruelåg: Nej nogle steder og ler- og kalkholdige eller småstens- og siliciumholdige lag i dybden andre steder, forklarer de store Varenummer: 01410511535 kvalitetsforskelle i området. De bedste vinmarker siges at ligge i den nordlige del, nær Canon-Fronsac (egen AOC), hvor sand og kalk dominerer. Navnet Canon kommer i øvrigt af, at de høje skrænter ved Fronsac blev brugt af flådens skibe, som lå for anker i Dordognefloden, til at afprøve deres kanoner. AOC'erne Fronsac og Canon-Fronsac tillader kun rødvinsproduktion, hovedsageligt på druen Merlot, tilsat Cabernet Franc (i området kaldt Bouchet), Malbec og Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinene er generelt kraftige og krydrede, ofte med god sprødhed og struktur, og de bedste af dem desuden med velour og finesse. De vinder som regel i harmoni og kompleksitet ved at blive modnet (5-10 år). Vinene fra Fronsac nævnes ofte som gode (og ofte billigere) alternativer til St. Emilion- eller Pomerol-vine. Producenten Château de la Rivière er uden tvivl et af de meste berømte vinslotte i Fronsac-området. Dets beliggenhed på La Rivière-sletten (ca. 60 m. over Dordognefloden), omgivet af 65 ha.

  • Alain Jaume ( Grand Veneur ) France - Rhone Valley
    Alain Jaume ( Grand Veneur ) France - Rhone Valley In the 14th century, during their stay in Avignon, the popes built a papal castle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Impressed by the area’s exceptional terroir surrounding the castle, Pope Jean XXII planted the first vines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 1320. Interestingly, the wine that gave Châteauneuf-du-Pape its original reputation was the white and not the red. The white wine was a favorite of Pope Innocent VI. Today the castle is now a historic monument in Avignon, and the papacy is based in Rome’s Vatican City. But still today, the pope’s coat of arms remains on the bottles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and the wines are still produced in a similar manner as when the popes first pressed their juice. Founded 1979 Established in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the commune of Orange, the Jaume family has been dedicated to the art Location of wine growing since 1826. Founded by Mathieu Jaume, the Domaine is now run by the 5th and 6th generations of Jaumes: Alain Jaume & France his children Christophe, Sébastien, and Hélène. Wine Production Area Historically, Domaine Grand Veneur was known for its white wines, France - Rhone Valley - Chateauneuf du Pape until 1995 when the winery refocused their efforts on the reds.

  • 377 Final 2003/0140
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 24.6.2003 COM (2003) 377 final 2003/0140 (ACC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the conclusion of an agreement between the European Community and Canada on trade in wines and spirit drinks (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. This agreement between Canada and the European Community is the result of bilateral negotiations which took place from 7 November 2001 to 24 April 2003 on the basis of a negotiating mandate adopted by the Council on 1 August 2001 (Doc. 11170/01). The agreement comprises arrangements for the reciprocal trade in wines and spirit drinks with a view to creating favourable conditions for its harmonious development. 2. The agreement specifies oenological practices which may be used by producers of wine exported to the other Party, as well as a procedure for accepting new oenological practices. The Community's simplified system of certification will be applied to imported wines originating in Canada. Canada will not introduce import certification for Community wines and will simplify the extent of such testing requirements as are currently applied by provinces, within a year of entry into force. Production standards are agreed for wine made from grapes frozen on the vine. Concerning production standards for spirit drinks, the agreement provides that Canada will adhere to Community standards for its exports of whisky to the Community. 3. Procedures whereby geographical indications relating to wines and spirit drinks of either Party may be protected in the territory of the other Party are agreed. The current "generic" status in Canada of 21 wine names will be ended by the following dates: 31 December 2013 for Chablis, Champagne, Port and Porto, and Sherry; 31 December 2008 for Bourgogne and Burgundy, Rhin and Rhine, and Sauterne and Sauternes; the date of entry into force of the agreement for Bordeaux, Chianti, Claret, Madeira, Malaga, Marsala, Medoc and Médoc, and Mosel and Moselle.

  • Domaine De Castelnau
    Domaine de Castelnau, Picpoul de Pinet “Notre terroir c’est la mer.” Domaine de Castelnau’s origins date back to the 13th Century when it was the property of the Seigneurs (Lords) de Guers. Situated between Béziers and Montpellier, Castelnau-de-Guers is one of six communes that make up the Picpoul de Pinet appellation. This Côteaux du Languedoc sub-re- gion is dedicated entirely to white wine made from the Piquepoul grape. Now owned by Christophe Muret, Domaine de Castelnau is one of only 20 independent domaines in the appellation, as cooperative wineries account for nearly 80% of Picpoul de Pinet production. About 32 of the domaine’s 240 acres are planted to Piquepoul, a variety that has been growing near the Mediterranean’s Thau Basin for centuries. This natural lagoon is one of the finest sources for shellfish in southern France and particularly renown for commercial cultivation of oysters. Languedoc locals and tourists agree that the citrus and mineral characteristics of well-made Picpoul de Pinet make it the perfect accompaniment to les Huîtres de Bouzigues, the basin’s famous bivalves. The rich marine fauna and flora of L’Etang de Thau also make it a desirable habitat for migrating birds including grey herons and pink flamingos, the latter adorning the label of Domaine de Castelnau’s Cuvée L’Etang. DOMAINE FACTS Vines: 32 acres of the domaine’s 240 acres are planted to Piquepoul in the village of Castel- nau-de-Guers. The appellation is comprised of 3400 acres planted in six communes (Castel- nau-de-Guers, Florensac, Pomérols, Pinet, Mèze, and Montagnac).

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

Ich würde sagen nicht besser, aber ganz anders auf ähnlich hohem Niveau. 2005 und 2010 zeigten Kraft, Konzentration, Mineralität und Eleganz. 2009 glänzte mit perfekter Reife, gezügelter Opulenz, enormer Fülle und toller Eleganz. 2015 hat von allen erwähnten Komponenten etwas, aber eher in gemässigter Form, das Überragende an 2015 sind die Feinheit, die Raffinesse, die unglaublich leckere Art der Weine. Die Witterungs-Verhältnisse waren absolut ideal. Der Süden des Médoc und die Regionen Pessac-Léognan, St. Emilion mit der ganzen Umgebung von Castillon über Fronsac bis Bourg und Blaye und auch Pomerol inkl. Lalande de Pomerol profitierten von absolut perfektem Erntewetter. Nur im Norden des Médoc gab es einige Regenfälle. Das wurde aber von den Top- Betrieben sehr gut gemeistert, auch hier sind einige überragende Weine ent- standen. «Dieses Jahr hat uns der Regen sogar die Qualität der Ernte geret- tet», meinte Véronique Sanders, Direktorin von Château Haut-Bailly, «immer genau dann, wenn Trockenstress drohte, gab es den nötigen Regen.» Besuchen Sie unbedingt unsere grosse Arrivage-Degustation mit den Winzern in Zürich (23.4.18, Volkshaus) und an weite- ren Orten in der Schweiz – siehe www.gerstl.ch/events Herzliche Grüsse und viel Genussvergnügen mit Bordeaux 2015!
