	<description>Les Garagistes is a shadowy cabal of friends who make wine together in an undisclosed location in SE Portland. Their blog is a concise catalog of blinding truths and outright fictions (not necessarily in that order), but it's worth a read anyway. Their wine is not for sale.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the Pinot Noir now safely in carboys, the Franc ready to press tonight or tomorrow night, and the Cab nearly ready itself, Crush 2009 is starting to wind down. After the sound of rioting yeasts bubbling through wine all through the basement, the lower volume of finishing ferments is a little sad, like a [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s right, go ahead. No one&#8217;s looking: scratch the screen. Doesn&#8217;t that Pinot Noir smell incredible? Good god!
For those of you with older monitors, let me try to describe what it smells like. First, I should say I&#8217;ve made Pinot Noir before, and I&#8217;ve loved the wine for years. I was even on the Board [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night we pressed the Syrah, sending it barreling toward French oak and malolactic fermentation. It was the first red to finish this year, and the first real test of our reconditioned wine press, so we weren&#8217;t totally sure what would come out the other end.
Luckily, what emerged was an inky purple blacksmith of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in a dozen years, a white wine is brightening the basement: Pinot Gris from Oracle Vineyard in the Dundee Hills. After pressing and letting it settle for a day, I took a halogen shop light and lit the side of the fermenter to see where the lees-line was (&#8220;lees&#8221; being the [...]]]></description>
