    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 Fronsac AOC, Bordeaux
    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.
