	<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[Last Saturday night, an elite and thirsty crew gathered at the house to taste through our four Eastern Washington wines, and thus inspired, construct the perfect blend that is the Peugeot. We&#8217;ve been doing this for the last 5 years right about now, approximately a month before we need to begin bottling to free up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Outside of Georges DuBoeuf&#8217;s Beaujolais Nouveau marketing scam, it&#8217;s unheard of: releasing a wine in its vintage year. But here in our basement lair, we&#8217;re always hearing the unheard (dear Santa: tinfoil hat patch kit, please), so we thought we&#8217;d try it, too. The result: last Thursday night, a small group of us got together [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somehow amidst the frenzy of crush, we managed to bottle last year&#8217;s Syrah and Port. Actually, &#8220;managed&#8221; isn&#8217;t quite the right word; &#8220;had to or else&#8221; is closer to the truth. I&#8217;d been thinking we&#8217;d try aging both wines for another few months, but we simply needed to free up some space for the 2009s [...]]]></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>
