    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.

  • Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008
    Summary of Results: Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008 Wine Grape Cultivar Trials 2000-2008 in the Cool Maritime Climate of Western WA Gary Moulton, Carol Miles, Jacqueline King, and Charla Echlin WSU Mount Vernon NWREC 16650 State Route 536, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 Tel. 360-848-6150 Email [email protected] http://extension.wsu.edu/maritimefruit/Pages/default.aspx Wines produced from grapes grown in cool climate regions have generally low alcohol content, low viscosity, and high fruit aromas and flavor (Casteel, 1992; Jackson and Schuster, 1977; Zoecklein, 1998). Certain varietals from Germany, Austria Russia, Hungary, and Armenia, as well as some common French varieties such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris can produce excellent fruity wines in western Washington. Selection of the right clone is important and knowing the heat units of your site will greatly aid in the selection of which varieties to grow. The cool maritime region of western Washington is on the very low end of the spectrum with respect to the number of growing degree days (GDD) needed for ripening the more common wine grape cultivars. Although the Puget Sound region has a long growing season in terms of frost free days, mesoclimates within the area range from below 1200 GDD to 2200 GDD. The Washington State University Mount Vernon Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU Mount Vernon NWREC) research site is located at 12 feet above sea level in the Skagit Valley floodplain, 3 miles from the Puget Sound. Since 2002, annual GDD averaged 1693; in 2003 there was a spike in GDD of 1965.

    THE WINE NEWS Monthly newsletter Thankful for Wine November 2013 A big ‘thank you’ goes out to everyone that attended the Fall Tasting in Madrona. A great time was had by all that ducked in out of the wind and cold. In case you missed it, below are a few of the most popular from the tasting. Bocelli Family Prosecco Veneto Italy NV $21.99/$13.99/$12.59 From the family estate of opera singer Andrea Bocelli comes this classic Prosecco, a wine which has been made on his family’s vineyard for over 130 years. This sparkling wine has subtle flower and fruit aromas that make the palate deliciously light and playful. Unlike many Proseccos, it is not harsh–rather, it tickles the throat with a peachy softness, and is flecked with minerality. 2011 Mark Ryan The ‘Chief’ Red Columbia Valley $26.99/$23.39/$21.05 Aromatically dense, the 2011 ‘Chief’ showcases outstanding complexity, with aromas of redcurrant, cigar box and toasty caramel. The palate is mouth-fillingly rich with a core of black cherry, raspberry and cocoa. The finish is impressive, displaying substantial weight and refined acidity and tannin. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. 2011 Delas Côtes du Ventoux $14.99/$9.39/$8.45 This Ventoux shows red berries on the nose. Ripe, lush fruit of figs, plums and blackberries on the palate. A combination of power and freshness. The long, velvety finish will hold your interest.

  • A Taste of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignons and French Pinot Blancs
    A Taste Of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignons And French Pinot Blancs There are very few Chilean cabernet sauvignons Don Melchor Vineyard in Puente Alto (Image: “Vina Don Melchor” with the pedigree of Vina Don Melchor. First planted in 1883 in the Puente Alto region of the Maipo Valley, its 314-acre vineyard is divided into 7 primary parcels and divided yet again into 151 sub-parcels to isolate the unique character of the soil. The cabernet sauvignons – the only wines made by this producer – reflect the painstaking attention that goes into choosing the complex vineyard blend for each vintage. Named after the founder of Concha y Toro, this brand was launched in the late 1980s and quickly achieved fame among the world’s best cabernet sauvignons. Nine times it made Wine Spectator’s annual list of top 100 wines in the world. The 2020 Vina Don Melchor scored a perfect 100 by wine critic James Suckling. Don Melchor winemaker Enrique Tirado, Maipo Valley, Chile (Image: “Vina Don Melchor”) We had an opportunity to taste the 2017 and 2018 vintages with winemaker Enrique Tirado, who has been the exclusive winemaker at Vina Don Melchor since 1997. Based almost entirely on the great cabernet sauvignon that does best in the alluvial soil, Don Melchor sees sparse amounts of cabernet franc, merlot and petit verdot in rare vintages. Winemaker Enrique Tirado (Image: “Vina Don Melchor”) Few winemakers give so much effort in determining the final blend. Each year Tirado sends 181 lots of wine to Lamarque, Bordeaux, where he joins winemaker Eric Boissenot in picking the blend over three days.

  • Wine Selection June 2014
    BULLION 14B www.bullioncellars.com.au Evoking the Spirit of France, with a Kiwi Kicker wines are on allocation and then what do you pay for them, when in most cases price alone is not a guide Confused – so am I, which is why I never thought we would get a wine from Bordeaux into one of our packs. The good wines are just too expensive and the quality value ratio just does not work for what we do. We can thank Matthew Dunne and a meeting he had with an importer that needed some quick cash, for this fantastic wine from the Haut Medoc region. It is also from a newish classification called Cru Bourgeois. Newish in that it first began in 1932 and was ratified again in 2003 and then in 2010. (These more recent changes were due to the many legal battles with the Chateaus that missed out on attaining this classification- I told you they take it seriously) Matthew Dunne of Aria / Chiswick / North Bondi Fish is selecting the wines Today there are some 246 chateaus that are able to list Crus Bourgeois on this quarter. Not sure where he finds the time with all the restaurant wine their label. The great thing about this classification is that it is awarded to lists he looks after, but he had a lot of fun selecting these wines for us. He the wine and not the Chateau. There is a rigorous selection process which didn’t go with one theme this time, but rather a number: New school vs old requires each vintage to be reassessed every year, so just because your 2010 school, Bordeaux vs Languedoc, Pinot Noir vs Pinot Blanc.

So, if you were there and tried the wines this is a good opportunity to revisit them and if you didn’t make it then it is an opportunity to try some of these delicious wines that received so much attention at these events. We also have a number of special packs designed for drinking over the Christmas break including a pack of a dozen wines we have selected for festive occasions such as this which attracts a 20% discount.
