	<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 Wednesday night, I finally had a chance to rack the Franc and add both some sulfite and some acid  in an attempt to resuscitate our young friend. My targets were about 50ppm free SO2, and dropping the pH by a tenth. 
On Saturday night, Garagiste James was by, so we tried it for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Sure, it could have been the 2000 Garagistes Casa Blanca Pinot &#8212; just a berry or two too sweet, perhaps, but remarkably lively and eager to please &#8212; nevertheless, the fire dancers at a block party near us seemed even more spectacular than usual.

		<description><![CDATA[With fresh reference samples of some acids to work with, I put all four wines through paper chromatography yesterday [what the heck is "paper cro-magni-wha...?": more background here]. Bask in the aurora borealitic results above.
To the left, along the baseline and on top of those tiny X&#8217;s, I placed drops of tartaric, malic and lactic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I wrote a few days ago, the Cabernet Franc &#8212; long our favorite wine from our grower &#8212; wasn&#8217;t its usual self at last racking. While it&#8217;s been dependably fresh and lovely any time we pull it from barrel, last week it was dull and flat, seemingly absent the will to live. A little [...]]]></description>
