It’s Harvest Time Already?
Where does the time go? Hard to believe that vineyard managers, wineries and winemakers are all on
the go working on the harvest and what soon will be the 2011 vintage wines. Take a look at this quick video
from Raymond Vineyards located in Rutherford in Napa valley. It’s an update from winemaker Stephanie
Putnam and vineyard manager Eric Pooler.

It’s Still Summer and It’s Still Hot
It would seem that if everyone is back at school and even
our politicians are back in Washington that summer should be over; the cool weather should have rushed in right after Labor
Day ended at 12:01 am. That’s just not the case! Given the enormity of the
warmth that has enveloped us these long dog days of summer, here is a little story with a moral. Wines that will help you melt away the heat
There were two additional wines to the list - they received the editor's chop but that doesn't make them any less
influential on your palate or food pairing. It just means there wasn't enough space the word count. Go figure!
Santa Cristina Campo Grande Orvietto
Italy ($12) —Light aromas of flowers intersperse with tropical fruits such as pineapple and bananas. This wine extinguishes
that dry-mouth “wish I had something tasty and refreshing to drink” feeling you get when you’re grilling
dogs for this kids. Plus, if you decide to have a hot dog and smother it with mustard, ketchup, sauerkraut, chopped onions
AND relish, this is the wine to have.
Nine Walks Marlborough
Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand ($10) — As you know, it is scallop season. What better pairing than Nine Walks Sauvignon
Blanc and scallop pasta? The wine is juicy with grassy flavors and bright acidity making it extremely enjoyable
on those muggy, uggy days.
The moral?
There’s a delicious wine out there to quench the palate and cool the senses. Just seek that wine out.
