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.

This farmer was called "Chasal", a name which over the years became "Cazaux", the current name of the domaine.

GOLD MEDAL WINE CLUB Taste the Adventure! France Rhone Valley ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT WINE REGIONS IN FRANCE, THE RH�NE VALLEY IS HOME TO AN ARRAY OF EARTHY, ROBUST WINE BLENDS AND SOME OF THE BEST WINE VALUES IN THE WORLD. Historically, the French have long been the major consumers of their own wines. But, for the last four decades, wine consumption in France has dropped drastically, down more than 40 percent according to the latest figures available. This existing condition has caused French winemakers to rethink their marketing efforts to appeal to broader markets, especially those in the United States and a number of Asian countries. France’s top tier wines (Bordeaux and Burgundy and a few Rhône Valley wines (see Region Spotlight) have not felt the pressure but have advanced in price to be today affordable to only wealthy wine aficionados. Needless to say, the price/value relationship of these top wines is way out of balance. This phenomenon had proven advantageous to a number of wine producing regions in France, and in particular the huge wine production area that comprises the Southern Rhône Valley. Led by its bell weather product, Châteauneuf du Pape, the region’s wine cadre has firmly established itself on the international marketplace. Several factors have influenced this reestablishment of this most important French wine producing region. First and most important, the Rhône Valley has been able to maintain an excellent price/value correlation. Perceived quality in the bottle by consumers has vaulted Rhône wines to positions of favor on wine shelves and wine lists.
