    2017 Eight Bells Chardonnay- Sourced from the Boushey Vineyard, they have utilized four clones of Chardonnay for this wine. The wine was largely aged in stainless steel prior to bottling. The nose shows toasty brioche and pear elements with a touch of starfruit. There is a great freshness to the wine as it shows off Japanese pear, vanilla cream and lighter peach flavors. This shows wonderful poise. Drink 2018-2024- 91 2015 Eight Bells Pinot Noir- Sourced from the Methven Vineyard, just south of Dayton in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The wine is crafted from three clones of Pinot Noir. The wine saw no new oak prior to bottling. This has a pretty red cherry and rose petal nose with a touch of baking spices. There is a light orange rind element on the palate that combines with bright guava puree and strawberry flavors. This is lithe and forward pretty Pinot Noir that has a good freshness. Drink 2018-2024- 90 2015 Eight Bells Sangoivese- This Sangiovese was sourced from the Red Willow Vineyard first planted in 1992. This translucent wine starts off with aromatics of smoke, red cherry and bright strawberry. This has really good minerality, as the wine has a nice salinity and mouthfeel. Red cherry, cranberry and orange zest flavors impress. Drink 2018-2024- 90 2015 Eight Bells Merlot- From a block planted in 1990, this deep colored wine starts off with black raspberry, coffee grounds and black cherry aromatics. The wine has a wonderful mouthfeel and purity of fruit. Red and dark cherry flavors beautifully combine, as this has a Bordelaise feel.

  • Westside Liquor Wine Newsletter January 2012
    Westside Liquor Wine Newsletter January 2012 "Liquid Gems" Virtually every week I have the privileged opportunity to taste new wines from our country and from around the world. I'm continually amazed by the diversity and overall quality of these wines. Whether it's coming from old world countries and done in ancient styles or from new world regions crafted with a modern twist many of these wines over deliver. Good wines are varietally correct. They are balanced and have character and ultimately speak of the place they come from. Throw in a couple more attributes and you have some liquid gems. The selection of wines in this newsletter will accompany a myriad of foods and make great sippers all on their own. I have put in a new wine from California's Santa Barbara County. This region is starting to make some fabulous Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Sea Glass Sauvignon Blanc is outstanding for under 15 bucks. Chatter Creek is a new producer for us and if you enjoy Pinot Gris and red blends check this winery out. For all you lovers of Argentina Malbec check out Triventos Amado Sur. This Malbec blend is mind blowing for under 15 bucks. I've also thrown in a killer value red from Rioja Spain. The wine is made from the Graciano grape and a fun wine for people looking for something different and off the beaten path. One of my favorite desert wines from Italy is a Recioto Di Soave. We just received a new one in the last couple by Ca'Rugate.

  • Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.

  • Colleagues and Friends
    October 1, 2015 Colleagues and Friends: The Yakima Valley Appellation is located in both Yakima and Benton Counties and is home to over 30% of the state's vineyard acreage. The combined production of these two counties in 2014 was 9.5 million cases of wine -- 67% of the state's total wine production.* This region’s wine industry (wine production, tourism, and distribution) is responsible for more than 3,600 jobs, $151.7 million in labor income and generates business revenues exceeding $1.01 billion*. These numbers underscore the importance of the Yakima Valley AVA to the local and statewide wine industry. We are pleased to present our 2015 annual report, and we invite you to join our efforts in 2016. During 2015, we’ve continued to focus on establishing Yakima Valley as the world’s premier winegrowing appellation. The result has been increased media interest resulting in more editorial coverage. Our promotional and advertising efforts generated more than 57 million impressions in print, radio, television and online outlets during the past year. Wine Yakima Valley signature events, Red Wine & Chocolate, Spring Barrel Tasting, Catch the Crush and Thanksgiving in Wine Country, continue to be great vehicles to promote the entire Yakima Valley to wine enthusiasts across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. In addition to the standard events we produced a highly successful Secret Crush event as a kick off to Red Wine & Chocolate. This event featured 90+ scored wines from the Yakima Valley. The annual Yakima Valley vineyard tour continues to be successful with another sold out tour in August.

    agricultural researcher Walter clore (1911–1991) Was recognized by the Washington state legislature as the “father of the Washington Chateau Ste. Michelle (now Ste. Michelle Wine industry” in 2001 Wine Estates). When he left in 2000, the company had gone from $5 million in an- nual sales to a handful of states, to $175 million in annual sales to most states and more than 10 countries worldwide. Also during this time, David Lake joined Co- lumbia Winery, another one of Washing- ton’s original producers, as the first Master of Wine—an official certification that in- cludes rigorous testing—to make wine in the United States. He realized the state was capable of producing high quality red wines with classic European structure, such as the Bordeaux-style blends that Washington is l l becoming known for. e v a From the late 1970s through the early e l 1990s, key boutique winery players—Alex e l Golitzin of Quilceda Creek Vintners, Gary l e i Figgins of Leonetti Cellars, Rick Small of n a Our State Of Wine Woodward Canyon Winery, Marty Clubb d : of L’Ecole No. 41 and Chris Camarda of e Master Sommelier and Washington Wine Commission t i Andrew Will—balanced daytime jobs with s o education director Shayn Bjornholm takes a look at the time in garages and sheds where they fol- p p o lowed their instincts that Washington wines past, present and promising future of Washington wine ; could astound.
