Two Boedeckers
Posted: 09:49 AM ET, 09/15/08
Husband and wife team Stewart and Athena Boedecker had a problem. As they were ramping up production of their Oregon Pinot Noir, they could not agree on what kind of wine they wanted it to be. Stewart prized delicacy, and gravitated toward the barrels in the cellar that had light texture, red fruit flavors and finesse. Read more

Our 2008 harvest is already underway. Most of our Pinot Noir from Sonoma and Monterey counties (about 27 tons) has been crushed in the last few days and is presently undergoing cold soak—a process whereby the crushed grapes and their juice soak at low temperatures in order to extract flavor and color prior to the beginning of fermentation.

Well, it started off with a bang! An extended period of heat here in California got things ripe quickly. The Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from Tofanelli Vineyard in Napa Valley, for Orin Swift's Veladora bottling, are in and look great. Read more

Picking, Sorting and Trucking

Posted by Brian Loring
My sister Kimberly and I love to be at vineyards when our fruit is being picked. Many mornings start off foggy, and then give way to a beautiful sunrise. Since we don’t own any vineyards, being able to spend that time in the vineyard gives us the connection to the site that we don’t get the rest of the year. Read more

Amazon's Wine Play: What Does It Mean?
Posted: 12:43 PM ET, 09/12/08
Since most of us don’t reside anywhere near the top of wine food chain, at some point we intersect with the distribution system.
Depending on where you live, of course, it can be anything from a piddling annoyance to a grander, weightier matter that transcends irritation. Read more

An Early Look at 2008 in the Rhône
Posted: 10:35 AM ET, 09/11/08
I've been checking in with a few producers in the Rhône as they gear up for their 2008 harvest. The growing season (which I'll report on more once the harvest is complete) has been tricky in both the north and south, with spring rains and humidity that led to difficult flowering, lower yields, and tougher disease pressures in the vineyards.
