	<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>

		<title>This year&#8217;s models</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally had a chance to shoot our current stable of wine releases, which &#8212; holy crap &#8212; are kind of numerous. Who snuck into our basement and made all this wine, anyway?
From left to right, ya got yer:

2008 Aldercreek Syrah
2008 Cowan Cabernet Sauvignon
2009 Peugeot Nouveau (Coyote Canyon)
2008 Porto (piloted by Aldercreek Merlot)

		<title>Duck and Cellar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[ Apropos the dawn of a new decade in a couple days, a wine column I wrote about the anxiety surrounding the dawning of the last one -- the infamous Y2K -- and how savvy wine hoarders (er, collectors) might make the most of it. ]
It&#8217;s the beginning of a new year, but instead of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A taste of 2009 &#8212; in 2009</title>
		<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>

		<title>Days of Vino Passed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Foul fest&#8217;ring cake that rules the night,
Removes the grape skins from our site,

		<title>08 Syrah and port slip into bottle</title>
		<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>
