Palmarès Du Concours Général Agricole
PALMARES DU CONCOURS GENERAL AGRICOLE 2011 Les médaillés du Concours Général Agricole Les Vins / VAL DE LOIRE ET CENTRE Date d'édition : 24/02/2011 PALMARES DU CONCOURS GENERAL AGRICOLE PRÉSENTATION Depuis sa création en 1870, le Concours Général Agricole (CGA) s'est donné pour objectif de distinguer les meilleurs représentants de chaque catégorie de produits alimentaires. Il s'agit exclusivement de produits agricoles ou issus, en première transformation, de produits agricoles récoltés sur le territoire français. Ils sont d'origine fermière, artisanale ou industrielle. Organisé sous le contrôle de l'Etat, ce qui garantit son impartialité, le CGA a lieu chaque année et se déroule dans le cadre du Salon International de l'Agriculture. LA SÉLECTION Le CGA, réglementé par un arrêté du Ministère de l'Alimentation, de l'Agriculture, de la Pêche, de la Ruralité et de l’Aménagement du territoire, associe le plus étroitement possible la profession à sa conception et à son évolution : -les prélèvements sont effectués par les agents de l'Etat, ou sous leur contrôle ; -les présélections sévères aboutissent à n'admettre en phase finale que des produits d'une qualité certaine ; -les jugements sont rendus par 3800 jurés indépendants constitués en jurys représentant l'ensemble d'une filière ; producteurs et transformateurs, négociants et distributeurs, techniciens, sommeliers et restaurateurs, consommateurs avertis. LA VALORISATION DE LA PRODUCTION AGRICOLE FRANÇAISE La finalité du CGA est de confronter les meilleurs des échantillons au sein d'une catégorie bien définie et homogène de produits, lors des dégustations effectuées par des experts. Il met l'accent sur leurs caractéristiques sensorielles, après avoir vérifié qu'ils correspondent bien aux normes officielles. -

Loire Valley
PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list. -

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. -

Bodegas Ponce Bodegas Ponce P.F
BODEGAS PONCE BODEGAS PONCE P.F. Manchuela, a lesser-known Spanish wine region that is inland from Valencia, specializes in the Bobal grape variety, which is known for its thick skins and rusticity. And while there are very few defenders of this region and even fewer winemakers that are dedicated to this varietal, Juan Antonio Ponce stands alone as the leader of Manchuela and as the master of the Bobal grape. Varietal/Blend: Bobal Farming: organic and biodynamic Soil: calcareous Ave. Year Vines Planted: 1925 Vine Training: goblet Harvest Technique: by hand Yeast: indigenous (natural) Fermentation: whole cluster fermentation in old 4,000kg wood casks Malolactic: full ML Juan Antonio Ponce began his winery in 2005, at the age of Aging: 10 months in 3rd and 4th vintage 600L French Oak barrels 23. He works biodynamically in the vineyard, and in the Alcohol: 14.5% winery he takes a natural approach, using low levels of sulfur Fined: none dioxide. His philosophy is to make natural wines with wild Filtered: none yeast fermentation, to respect the local varietal Bobal and to Production #s: approx. 1,000 cases express its terroir.

Motion Made: Board Member Negra Seconded: Board Member Brion Board Decision: Unanimously approved (3-0 vote) previous Board Minutes. B. Announcement by the Chairman for ratification of a Board Action. The following Board Action approved on October 1, 2015 was decided by Notational Voting by Chairman Holden, Member Brion, and Member Negra since the Board’s last public meeting: The Bureau of Purchasing & Contracting Administration and Information Technology recommended that 1,700 memory sticks be purchased in order to help with facilitating implementation of the new point of sale systems in the Board’s Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores. Following the installation of certain software, the point of sale systems were experiencing poor response time and slow scan recognition issues, and the use of memory sticks has proven to be effective in addressing such issues. The total cost of the memory sticks is $44,506.00. The Board unanimously agreed (3-0) to approve this recommendation.
