    CLOS DU MONT-OLIVET Lirac Rouge

    Wine Facts CLOS DU MONT-OLIVET Lirac Rouge The family estate of Clos du Mont-Olivet is the collector’s choice for traditional, aromatic and age-worthy southern Rhône blends. This multi- generational estate was one of the first wineries North Berkeley Imports partnered with in the south of France more than 25 years ago; since then, the estate has come to symbolize both what we seek out in winemaker- partners and importantly, what we hold true and dear in great wine. Always elegant, aromatic and long-lived, these wines reflect not only the rich character of southern Rhône terroir but also the subtle, spicy personalities of the region’s native grapes. Clos du Mont-Olivet is “one of the great estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape,” says the Wine Advocate.

    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.

As a freelance writer, she contributes to numerous publications while eating and drinking her way around the world. Whether looking for a romantic getaway or a weekend with friends, Carmel-by-the-Sea is that seaside town that offers charm, comfort and, of course, wine. Located on the south side of the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel-by-the-Sea (also called Carmel), feels like a town straight out of a storybook. It is a quaint town Carmel Beach with buildings that are a mix of Swiss Alpine chalets and English cottages. This one-square-mile village, with no parking meters or street lights, is packed with restaurants, galleries, boutiques and wine tasting rooms. Grapes are grown throughout the Monterey area, from north of Monterey Bay to the southern border with Paso Robles. Although the area is diverse, the entire area benefits from the ocean breezes and fog from the chilly waters of Monterey Bay. Most of the winegrowing takes place in the ninety-mile-long Salinas Valley, which includes the AVAs of Monterey, Arroyo Seco, San Bernabe, San Lucas and Hames Valley. Santa Lucia Highlands, Chalone, San Antonio Valley and Carmel Valley are the four AVAs outside of Salinas Valley but are also part of the Monterey AVA. There are more than one hundred and seventy-five vineyards in Monterey Wine Country which means that there are a lot of wineries and tasting rooms to visit.

  • Lamorinda AVA Petition

    Lamorinda AVA Petition

    PETITION TO ESTABLISH A NEW AMERICAN VITICULTURAL AREA TO BE NAMED LAMORINDA The following petition serves as a formal request for the establishment and recognition of an American Viticultural Area to be named Lamorinda, located in Contra Costa County, California. The proposed AVA covers 29,369 acres and includes nearly 139 acres of planted vines and planned plantings. Approximately 85% of this acreage is occupied or will be occupied by commercial viticulture (46 growers). There are six bonded wineries in the proposed AVA and three additional growers are planning bonded wineries. The large number of growers and relatively limited acreage demonstrates an area characterized by small vineyards, a result of some of the unique characteristics of the area. This petition is being submitted by Patrick L. Shabram on behalf of Lamorinda Wine Growers Association. Wineries and growers that are members of the Lamorinda Wine Growers Association are listed in Exhibit M: Lamorinda Wine Growers Association. This petition contains all the information required to establish an AVA in accordance with Title 27 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 9.3. List of unique characteristics: All viticulture limited to moderate-to-moderately steep slopes carved from of uplifted sedimentary rock. Geological rock is younger, less resistant sedimentary rock than neighboring rock. Other surrounding areas are areas of active deposition. Soils in Lamorinda have higher clay content, a result of weathered claystone. The topography allows for shallow soils and good runoff, reducing moisture held in the soil. Despite its position near intrusions of coastal air, Lamorinda is protected from coastal cooling influences. Daytime microclimates are more dependent on slope, orientation, and exposure, leading to a large number of microclimates.
