CLUB WRITEUPS

January 2005 Specialty Club

2003 Owen Roe Yakima Valley Red Wine
Winemaker David O´Reilly has once again crafted a wine that blends power and elegance, a rare combination.  It´s a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon from three of the top Yakima Valley vineyards - DuBrul, Elerding, and Rosa Mystica Block.  This needs some cellar time - please give it at least a few years, and preferably about five, and then enjoy it with a good cut of beef.  It´s $42.00, and all gone.

2003 Cayuse Cailloux Vineyard Viognier
I am a big fan of Christophe Baron´s wines.  Last time he was in, I was able to talk him out of just enough of these wines for this club.  As with all his wines, they´re in very limited supply - the easiest way to get ‘em is to get on his mailing list.  I feel quite fortunate that we´re able to have these on the shelf!  It´s $35.00, and ready to drink.  Enjoy!

... and I bet you´d thought I´d forgotten about Washington wines in this club!
