CLUB WRITEUPS

November 2006 Specialty Club

2004 Sequel Syrah
Once again, we are pleased to offer a Long Shadows winery project to our clubs.  This Syrah is made from the finest of Washington State Syrah grapes by John Duval, who was responsible for the Penfold´s Grange Syrah, unquestionably one of the world´s great wines.  This one is considerably less expensive than Grange; it´s $58.00, and we have a very small amount more available.  This big wine will hold in your cellar for several years.

2004 Ogier Viognier de Rosine
Ogier is one of the great producers of the Northern Rhone valley. His Côte Roties are spectacular, and highly sought after.  He has some properties in the Rhône Valley that aren´t in one of the major appellations.  This one comes from vineyards neighboring the great Viognier vineyards of Condrieu, where the finest wines of its type are made.  Since it´s just outside the appellation, the price is less, and I´ll let you judge for yourself as to the quality!  It runs $35.00, and there´s a miniscule amount left.
