  • A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K
    European Review - Fall 2014 (in press) A brief history of wine in South Africa Stefan K. Estreicher Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA Vitis vinifera was first planted in South Africa by the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. The first wine farms, in which the French Huguenots participated – were land grants given by another Dutchman, Simon Van der Stel. He also established (for himself) the Constantia estate. The Constantia wine later became one of the most celebrated wines in the world. The decline of the South African wine industry in the late 1800’s was caused by the combination of natural disasters (mildew, phylloxera) and the consequences of wars and political events in Europe. Despite the reorganization imposed by the KWV cooperative, recovery was slow because of the embargo against the Apartheid regime. Since the 1990s, a large number of new wineries – often, small family operations – have been created. South African wines are now available in many markets. Some of these wines can compete with the best in the world. Stefan K. Estreicher received his PhD in Physics from the University of Zürich. He is currently Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University. His biography can be found at http://jupiter.phys.ttu.edu/stefanke. One of his hobbies is the history of wine. He published ‘A Brief History of Wine in Spain’ (European Review 21 (2), 209-239, 2013) and ‘Wine, from Neolithic Times to the 21st Century’ (Algora, New York, 2006). The earliest evidence of wine on the African continent comes from Abydos in Southern Egypt.

  • Moody Vineyard, OR 2018 New Price $140.00 Id
    Cabernet Franc - Columbia Valley AVA - Moody Vineyard, OR 2018 New Price $140.00 id. 18MCF Moody Vineyard, located in the Columbia Valley AVA, is perched high above the confluence of the trout-filled Deschutes River and the Columbia River. Western basalt cliffs help shield the vines from the wind blowing down the Columbia Gorge. The east slope offers early sun and provides heat to ripen and develop premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc wine grapes. One of the furthest westerly vineyards in the NW to ripen these varietals successfully. Averaged Lab Readings: Brix: 25.4, pH: 3.71, TA: 3.7 g/L Recommendations: - Add 35 g. tartaric acid and 2 good nutrient doses, ferment to 85° f ICV/BM45. - The ripe grape’s low acidity makes it an ideal candidate for a blend – Super Tuscan Blend with the 2018 Sangiovese. Two pails of Moody Cab. Franc with one pail of 2018 Sangiovese will create a full bodied, aromatic wine. The addition of 1.8 L of unchlorinated water, 64 grams / 2.3 oz of tartaric acid, and a large dose of yeast nutrient will prepare the must for fermentation. Sangiovese - Carneros AVA - Santo Giordano Vineyard, CA 2018 New Price $155.00 id. 18CSG Santo Giordano Vineyard is located in the Carneros AVA next to San Pablo Bay, across Arnold Drive from the Gloria Ferrer Vineyard. The vines are cooled by morning fog and the influx of afternoon marine air. Sangiovese is the primary grape in Tuscany’s Chianti wine. Our California Sangiovese is grown in a region sufficiently hot to allow full sugar and phenolic development, while maintaining fresh acidity.

Thanks to favorable weather at bloom and an extended warm growing season with no weather pressures, growers with heavier crop loads than in the past were blessed with fully ripened and mature fruit. Overall, yields are well up from the previous two harvests, where smaller fruit sets and other weather pressures produced lower than average yields.

  • Detailed Trip Description
    zephyradventures DETAILED TRIP DESCRIPTION OREGON MULTISPORT & WINE ADVENTURE From its rough-and-tumble coastline to volcanic mountains, crystal-clear lakes and high deserts, Oregon offers an unparalleled diversity in landscapes and beauty. What you might not realize is that the state is also a world-class wine region with 17 distinct winegrowing regions and more than 450 wineries producing 72 varieties of grapes (including renowned Pinot Noirs that have won many awards in recent years)! However, Oregon is still in its infancy as far as wine tourism is considered. On this five-day active wine adventure, we visit wine regions ranging from the hip college town of Eugene to the northern Willamette Valley to the Columbia Gorge . by foot, by bicycle, and by canoe. We have created unique vineyard walks, a canoe trip on the beautiful Willamette River, and an exhilarating bike route through the Hood River Valley that brings us down the lower slopes of Mount Hood. Oregon’s wine country is spread over thousands of acres and dominated by small, family run wineries. If you love wine, you’ll be thrilled with all the sipping of local Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, Pinot Gris, and Rieslings. Each owner, vintner or winemaker we meet has a great story to tell and we will hear many of them. All this makes our wine adventure in Oregon unique and special. Join us and be in the vanguard of active wine tourism! DAILY ITINERARY DAY 1: After assembling our group in Portland after lunch, we’ll travel east and into the Hood River Valley.

  • Portfolio Wine Club 2020 J.C
    Portfolio Wine Club 2020 J.C. Somers Garnier Vineyard Tempranillo Rose 25/BTL The Garnier Vineyard is located in the Columbia Gorge AVA on the Oregon side of the Columbia River near the town of Mosier. I have been making beautiful Rosé from this vineyard for many years. The tiny Tempranillo block has made an exceptional wine for us this vintage. Made in the classic style, it is dry and has a lovely lightness of being. Aromas of red fruit with citrus and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine has a nice intensity of fruit with a fresh and crisp finish. Very versatile in food pairings: goes with Roasted Chicken, Niçoise Salad, Salmon and nearly everything else. 2019 Ratio Viognier 45/BTL The intent of this wine is to emulate the minerality and reserved fruit of the King of Viognier – Condrieu, in the Rhone region of France and, as such, was held in bottle until Spring 2021 before release. The nose has now revealed its true self with Meyer lemon, orchard fruit, pineapple and rose accompanied by anise, saffron, and smoky, chalky minerality. With the vibrant lemon, orange pith, and juicy acidity of the palate, this wine’s varietal identity might be hard to guess, were it not for the honeysuckle that accents the ginger and subtle herbs of the finish. For an exotic evening, explore pairing with middle-eastern or Indian food and, for a surprise pairing, try it with lamb tagine. 2018 Ridgecrest Vineyard Pinot Noir 42/BTL Youthful, bright and pedigreed; deep purple-red core, with floral-rose, spice and pepper aromatics; supple red fruit, plum, restrained oak flavors, with a slash of Worcestershire, suspended freshly and tightly on a texturally exciting mid-palate of velour-like tannins; well-rounded three-dimensional red fruit with extra layers of dark fruit extending front-to-back seamlessly, with no palate breaks and, although tight, bright and needing time, ending with that classic elegance for which Ribbon Ridge is heralded.

No other beverage has the ability to transport us halfway around the world; to a different continent where generations of the same family have worked the same plot of ground, on the same hillside, planted the same grape varietals and made their wines in the exact same way, for centuries. Or…to a place where a fresh outlook & new ideas merge with nature resulting in a wine that is exciting, radical & delicious. We feature a wide, ever changing array of these styles; unique wines that go with the food we cook. This list is organized in broad categories of wine color & flavor profile. Each wine has that wine’s grape varietal percentages, a brief description as well as other interesting factoids. No doubt, some names are hard to pronounce. To make ordering easier, all wine names have “key” words in bold print. I price our wines to encourage bottle sales. If you are sharing a wine with a friend or plan to enjoy more than one glass, BUY THE BOTTLE!

  • OVERVIEW WASHINGTON Content Contributed by Rob De La Rosa, Imperial Beverage
    WINE OVERVIEW WASHINGTON Content contributed by Rob De La Rosa, Imperial Beverage Closely review the syllabus for this wine level to determine just what items require your attention in each of the region/country overview documents. Washington state is a premium wine producing region located in the Northwest corner of the United States. Although a relatively young wine industry, it is the nation's second largest wine producer and is ranked among the world's top wine regions. Washington wines are found nationally in all 50 states and internationally in more than 40 countries. Washington's first wine grapes were planted at Fort Vancouver by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1825. By 1910, wine grapes were growing in many areas of the state, following the path of early settlers. French, German and Italian immigrants pioneered the earliest plantings. Wine historians Ron Irvine and Dr. Walter Clore document in their book The Wine Project a continuous and connected effort to cultivate wine grapes beginning with those early plantings at Fort Vancouver. Hybrid varieties arrived in nurseries in the Puget Sound region as early as 1854, and by 1860, wine grapes were planted in the Walla Walla Valley. The first commercial-scale plantings began in the 1960s. The efforts of the earliest producers, predecessors to today's Columbia Winery and Chateau Ste.
