  • Pinotfile Vol 9 Issue 39
    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 9, Issue 39 March 31, 2014 Adventures on the Pinot Trail: World of Pinot Noir - The Seminars On February 27, 2014, I hit the Pinot Trail to attend four major events in California. Like the song, “Sugartime,” from the 1950s sung by the McGuire Sisters, it was “Sugar (Pinot) in the morning, Sugar (Pinot) in the evening, Sugar (Pinot) at suppertime. Be my little sugar, And love me (Pinot) all the time.” The trail first led me to Santa Barbara for the 14th Annual World of Pinot Noir, then to San Francisco for three more memorable events: a special retrospective tasting of the wines of Ted Lemon titled “30 Years of Winemaking, 20 years of Littorai,” at Jardiniere restaurant on March 2, Affairs of the Vine Pinot Noir Summit at The Golden Gate Club on March 9, and the In Pursuit of Balance seminars and tasting at Bluxome Street Winery on March 10. I will give a full report on each stop along the Pinot Trail in this issue and those to follow, highlighting some of the special wines I tasted. Some have accused me of being a Pinot pimp and rightfully so. One of my readers told me when I asked him what he had been drinking, “As far as what I am drinking, it’s Pinot you bastard, and it’s your damn fault. Now I empty my bank account at wineries nobody has ever heard of, on wines nobody has ever drank except you, you pr**k. You have ruined me....and I love it.” The World of Pinot Noir successfully relocated this year from its long-standing home in Shell Beach to the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara.

  • 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
    2019 WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT NOIR AVERÆN was born out of our love for cool climate Pinot Noir. Oregon’s Willamette Valley offers an ideal growing climate, where strong winds blow from the nearby Pacific Ocean, and the mix of ancient volcanic soils and marine sediments from a prehistoric ocean floor lend intense minerality and complexity to the Pinot Noir grapes grown on them. Simple sustainable farming, hands-off winemaking and a passion for Pinot Noir dictate our mission. Our vineyards span the Willamette’s sub-AVAs, enabling us to create a wine that is a true representation of the Valley as a whole – playing off each site’s specific personality and complementary nature to create a harmonious blend.

  • Schooled in Wine – Unit 3: Vineyard Practices
    UNIT 3 Vineyard Practices Conserving H2O ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES L’Ecole No 41 is a leader and active proponent of the growing sustainable farming program in the Walla Walla Valley. VINEA (The Winegrower’s Sustainable Trust) is a voluntary group of Walla Walla Valley winegrowers pursuing sustainability in the valley. VINEA works with Oregon’s LIVE (Low-Input Viticulture and Enology) to provide internationally accredited third-party certification to winegrowers in the Pacific Northwest, one of the highest certifications in the world for sustainable viticulture. Sustainability is particularly relevant in the field of viticulture where the vineyard is seen as a large integrated farm, where plant, animal and microbial life, aided by soil and water quality, contribute to the overall health of the environment and therefore the development and quality of the crop. Protecting the health of the vineyard’s The Walla Walla Valley receives only soil and surrounding environment is intrinsic to enhancing terroir. 8-12 inches of rain annually, so while All of L’Ecole’s Estate wines are Certified Sustainable and Salmon Safe. the need to irrigate our vineyards is essential, it must be managed Benefits of Sustainable Farming meticulously.

  • JWE 10 3 Bookreviews 382..384
    382 Book and Film Reviews VIVIAN PERRY and JOHN VINCENT: Winemakers of the Willamette Valley: Pioneering Vintners from Oregon’s Wine Country. American Palate, Charleston, South Carolina, 2013, 160 pp., ISBN: 978-1609496760 (paperback), $19.99. CILA WARNCKE: Oregon Wine Pioneers. Vine Lives Publishing, Portland, Oregon, 2015, 234 pp., ISBN: 978-1943090761 (paperback), $19.99. Admittedly, it was hard to write a dispassionate review of books that so lovingly describe the region in which I live and so admiringly profile many of my acquain- tances in the Oregon wine industry. Therefore, I used as measures of merit how well each echoed my impressions of this most beautiful area and its people, and whether each accomplished its objectives. Perry’s and Vincent’s Winemakers of the Willamette Valley (WWV) “is meant to showcase the stories of a handful of Oregon’s many Willamette Valley winemakers” (WWV, p. 11). A foreword by Chehalem founder Harry Peterson-Nedry sets the per- sonal tone that pervades those stories. Next, in a mere eight pages of text, the first chapter, “History of the Willamette Valley Wine Region,” covers the climate, soil, grape selection, craftsmanship, industry structure and early success in sufficient detail to provide valuable context. The authors then share intimate interviews with eighteen vintners and vignerons. Within each chapter named for one or two wine- makers are brief descriptions of the wineries that each is affiliated with. These include year founded, ownership, varietals, tasting room location, hours and con- tacts. Sustainability features, a point of pride in the Oregon wine industry, are also listed.

For example, “Willakenzie” is coined from the general area near the confluence of the Willamette and mcKenzie rivers in Lane county.
