WS Wine Spectator PF Pinot File 7 Agricultural Practices Some of the wineries represented by Monterey Bay Wine Company have chosen to grow their grapes natu- rally, without the aid of synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms. “Sustainable farming” refers to the ability of a farm to produce food indefinitely, without causing damage to ecosystem health. Biody- namic agriculture perceives the farm as an organism, a self-contained entity with its own individuality, and eschews the use of artificial chemicals on soil and plants. Organic farmers rely on crop rotation, integrated pest management, crop residues, animal manures and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity. In addition, several wines are Certified Organic by CCOF, Organic Certifiers or Demeter Certified Biodynamic. Alfaro Family Vyds.

  • 2017 Wine Awards
    2017 Wine Awards ©2017 by The Orange County Wine Society ocws.org 714.708.1636 Page 1 of 173 Purpose This booklet lists the winners of the 41st Annual OC Fair & Event Center Commercial Wine Competition. The judging took place under rigidly controlled conditions on June 3rd & June 4th, 2017, at the Hilton Hotel, Costa Mesa, California. 2,457 different wines were judged and 1,726 were awarded medals. Scope The competition includes only wines from California grown grapes including still wines, fortified wines, infused wines, and sparkling wines. This year 80 judges tasted 104 varieties and styles in 405 categories classified by price and residual sugar level. The wine samples for judging are submitted by wineries. Wines arrive at the OC Fair & Event Center grounds where they are transferred to an air-conditioned building for unpacking and cataloging. There are no entry fees; however, wineries submit 6 bottles of each wine into the competition. These wines are divided into A, B, C, D, E and F bottles. All entries are verified, comparing the entry form to computer listing to the actual bottle placed in a specific box. The A bottles are bagged and labeled by code, varietal, bottle, price code and sugar level. During the competition, the A and B bottles are moved to the competition site. Just prior to judging all A bottles are verified to ensure they are in the proper serving order. B bottles are used only if a defective A bottle is found by the judges. The judging is performed by professionals; each judge is either a winemaker or winery principal.

  • Gruet Winery NV Methode Champenoise Blanc De Noirs Brut
    WINE RECOMMENDAT ION Gruet Winery NV Methode Champenoise Blanc de Noirs Brut (New Mexico) An attractive salmon color introduces a sparkler with a lively mousse and striking Pinot Noir raspberry aromas. Aged for 24 months en tirage, it developed a complex flavour profile of berry fruits, a soft, velvety and creamy texture and exciting toasty notes. Full of charm and elegance, this sparkler finishes with loads of raspberry juiciness. Since 1989, when Gruet launched its first 400 cases of sparkling wine made by the Champagne method, it has grown to more than 80,000 cases with distribution in 47 states. At its price point, it offers hefty competition to most domestic sparklers. Because of its sprightly mousse and solid fruit core, it harmonizes well with smoked salmon canapés as an aperitif or with a first course of poached salmon and either a dollop of dill or basil mayonnaise. Serve it blind, then ask your wine aficionado friends where they believe its origins are. If they say, New Mexico, offer them a second glass because they’re darn good! Reviewed March 4, 2008 by Eleanor & Ray Heald. THE WI NE THE RE VIE WE R Eleanor & Ray Heald Winery: Gruet Winery Vintage: NV The Healds have been writing about Wine: Methode Champenoise Blanc de Noirs Brut wine since 1978 and have focused on Appellation: New Mexico appellation significance in many of their Grape: Pinot Noir world beat writings. They value Price: $13.50 recognizing site personality (terroir) within an appellation's wines. They praise balance and elegance in wines styled to pair well with food and eschew over-extraction, high alcohol and heavy-handed oak.
