		<description><![CDATA[This wine just keeps getting better and better. After opening this, I&#8217;m down to my last bottle of this wonderful vintage and I&#8217;m wishing I bought more. Soon I&#8217;ll have to start opening the 2007. Deep brick red clear color. Fragrant aromas of violets, cloves and cherry. Helen&#8217;s feminine style is evident in this gorgeous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the time I spent in California, I discovered a lot of great wines and growing regions. One of my new favorites is the Anderson Valley in Mendocino County. The combination of mountain soils, dry climate and cool nighttime ocean air have made this the ideal spot to grow Pinot Noir with a more characteristic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first time I had a 14 Hands wine was at a restaurant. It was a really tasty Merlot and when I went to buy some in the store, I found out that they&#8217;re only carried in restaurants. That was over 5 years ago and over the years, I&#8217;ve been able to find their wine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a difficult decision to attend Taste Washington 2011 because my heart just wasn&#8217;t into tasting wine at this particular time, much less write about it. Partly due to a little burn-out on blogging about wine and partly because the wineries I write about here in Washington rarely seem to appreciate the mentions. Granted, [...]]]></description>

The wines were all from Bob&#8217;s cellar and from various appellations in the Bordeaux region so it didn&#8217;t really concentrate on a particular appellation. These were mostly wines that [...]]]></description>

There were, in fact, 34 bottles from 22 vintages including a 6 liter bottle of the 1988 vintage. According to Nicole Kosta, one of the sexy sommeliers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fairly dark and extracted for a Pinot, its color belies its light delicate body. Immediately after opening straight from the cellar, I got a slight whiff of SO2, but that quickly dissipated. After about 10 minutes in the glass (and warmed up a bit), I started getting cherry cola, smokey bacon &#38; earthy aromas. Ripe [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been so preoccupied that I just haven&#8217;t thought about it. That last wine was a Fairwinds Cabernet Sauvignon, so it seems appropriate that after that disappointing showing, I would review [...]]]></description>
