	<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[And it is done. As of a few minutes ago, the last wine of the 2011 harvest is safely in barrel (the Cabernet Franc). Hard to believe we were still pressing two days before Thanksgiving, but for us, anyway, that loooooong hang time looks to have produced exceptionally elegant and balanced wines. Standouts coming out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
A couple of days ago, we pressed off the Mourvedre (in our fancy new balloon press, pictured above!) and tucked it safely away in a variable. That means there are only two grapes left to finish fermenting before vintage 2011 is behind us: the Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc.
The Sauv is the closest at 1.002 specific [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just as the syrah and merlot from last weekend are starting to think about fermenting, we&#8217;re off to Eastern Washington to fetch the next Garagiste candidates: Grenache and Viognier. The weather looks like it will hold both here and there, so here&#8217;s hoping for both flavor and favor at the vineyard

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I will, but sotto voce: so far, so good.
2011 is shaping up to be a tough vintage for everyone in the Northwest, but you wouldn&#8217;t know it from the two grapes we picked up over the weekend. Last Saturday, James and I had an extremely pleasant &#8212; and more importantly, rain-free &#8212; road trip [...]]]></description>

Just about to head out the Gorge with James to round up the first grapes of the season: syrah and merlot, about 3/4 ton all told. 
Because of the resolutely crappy weather this spring and summer, this vintage promises to be a wild ride, so I&#8217;m wondering for the first time in years what we&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>
