Riesling Originated in the Rhine Region of Germany
Riesling Originated in the Rhine region of Germany 1st mention of it was in 1435 when a noble of Katzenelbogen in Rüsselsheim listed it at 22 schillings for Riesling cuttings Riesling comes from the word “Reisen” means “fall” in German…grapes tend to fall off vines during difficult weather at bud time Riesling does very well in well drained soils with an abundance of light, it likes the cool nights. It ripens late so cool nights are essential for retaining balance Momma and papa Parentage: DNA analysis says that • An aromatic grape with high Gouais Blanc was a parent. acidity Uncommon today, but was a popular • Grows in cool regions wine among the peasants during the • Shows Terroir: sense of place middle ages. The other parent could have been a cross of wild vines and Traminer. Riesling flavors and aromas: lychee, honey, apricot, green apples, grapefruit, peach, goose- berry, grass, candle wax, petrol and blooming flowers. Aging Rieslings can age due to the high acidity. Some German Rieslings with higher sugar levels are best for cellaring. Typically they age for 5-15 years, 10-20 years for semi sweet and 10-30 plus years for sweet Rieslings Some Rieslings have aged 100 plus years. Likes and Dislikes: Many Germans prefer the young fruity Rieslings. Other consumers prefer aged They get a petrol note similar to tires, rubber or kerosene. Some see it as fault while others quite enjoy it. It can also be due to high acidity, grapes that are left to hang late into the harvest, lack of water or excessive sun exposure. -

Developing a Grape Site Selection Gis for the Inland
DEVELOPING A GRAPE SITE SELECTION GIS FOR THE INLAND PACIFIC NORTHWEST By IAN-HUEI YAU A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN SOIL SCIENCE WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Crop and Soil Sciences DECEMBER 2011 To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the thesis of IAN-HUEI YAU find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted.

Bonair Winery Owners and Vineyards
BONAIR WINERY Gail and Shirley Puryear “Experience the Dream” BW-WA-121 Phone 509.829.6027 Fax 509.829.6510 OWNERS: Gail and Shirley fell in love with wine (and each other) as college exchange students in the wine country of Chile in 1967. After graduating from Washington State University, they moved to Southern California. It didn’t take them long to discover the wine country of California. Careers and children intervened for the next nine years, but in his spare time Gail read wine books, made wine, and taught wine appreciation courses. In 1979 the family moved back to their native Yakima Valley and purchased the five acres that is now the location of the original estate vineyards, the hospitality center, and the winery. They planted the chardonnay and cabernet vineyard and sold the grapes to Quail Run Winery. Not satisfied with just growing the grapes, they decided to jump into the fledging Washington Wine industry and bonded the winery in 1985. Their family and friends felt sorry for them because they thought that no one would find a winery at the end of a dusty country road. Shirley quit her teaching job in 1987 to work the vineyards and tasting room. Gail quit his job as elementary school principal in 1992 to devote his winemaking skills full time to the winery. Bonair Winery now encompasses 35 acres of prime vineyards in the heart of the Rattlesnake Hills AVA. A state of the art winemaking facility and a beautiful new hospitality center with spacious picnic areas are open year round. -

It keeps well for 2–3 days in the fridge. It can also be frozen for up to 1 month, but it may need to be blitzed with a hand blender when reheating, as it may split. Ingredients Method 900g (2lb) sweet potatoes, Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/gas mark 6). Place the sweet cut into cubes potatoes in a baking tin, drizzle over half the honey and roast for 2 tbsp Donegal Rapeseed Oil 25–30 minutes, until tender. -

2016 Charles & Charles Riesling
2016 CHARLES & CHARLES RIESLING ART DEN HOED VINEYARD • YAKIMA VALLEY • WASHINGTON STATE THE VINTAGE The 2016 vintage’s slightly different profile is due to the cool September and October months, which allowed an even gentler ripening. Also, the fact that it’s our third year working with this vineyard and we believe that we are directing the farming a little better, particularly from an irrigation point of view. THE WINE The result is a wine that has a unique richness for Riesling as the high tones are even a bit higher. There's a touch more of the high tone key lime Mosel component that shines through to make for a more dynamic and complex profile. The aromatics have a distinct citrus zest, key lime, apricot, peach and summer flowers. Thankfully, none of the aromas or flavors dominate, allowing an underlying salinity and mineral component to shine through. The wine is beautifully balanced from a kiss of sugar and bright acidity. pH – 3.05 RS – .12g/L Alc – 12% 15,000 cases produced THE TERROIR This Riesling is 100% from grapes grown on the Art Den Hoed vineyard, right on the outside edge of the Rattlesnake Hills AVA, in the Yakima Valley. Aside from Art’s great farming, what makes this vineyard special for world-class Riesling is the gently sloping, high elevation (1,250 feet) and shallow, well-drained Warden Series silt loam soils. The higher elevation maintains a mountain climate with much more moderate summer temperatures. THE LABEL Hatch Show Print, the legendary poster shop from Nashville, TN created the original label from which this is based. -
