		<description><![CDATA[I recently fell for three aromatic whites from Navarro Vineyards &#8211; one dry and two sweet. All three are deeply perfumed, with silky, clean fruit flavors and long, intense finishes. Here are my notes:
Navarro Vineyards 2007 Gewurztraminer Anderson Valley ($19). Loved the pretty floral and stone accents to the lush apricot, peach, orange citrus and spice flavors, with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the wineries that I visited last year on my Mendocino/Anderson Valley trip was Greenwood Ridge Vineyards. Proprietor/winemaker Allan Green was an enthusiastic and gracious host &#8212; about the wine and the region (and all things baseball!).
I had the opportunity to taste through the winery&#8217;s current releases, but I have to also mention that one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most memorable highlights of a recent visit to Mendocino was an overnight at Saracina Vineyards. The evening culminated with watching the Perseid meteor showers on a cloudless night &#8212; dozens (hundreds?) of streaks of light weaving through brightly twinkling stars, illuminating the kind of inky darkness that&#8217;s only possible this far away from city [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Kilikanoon winery and lunch with CEO Nathan Waks. At the end of the lunch, Nathan pulled out a sort of briefcase with samples (in uber-cool vintage bottles) of Seppeltsfield fortified wines. Waks is also one of the owners of Seppeltsfield, a Barossa-based winery steeped in Aussie history and [...]]]></description>

Winemaker Chris Nelson and I (and Oscar, one of the winery dogs) settled in at a picnic table under soaring redwoods to have a casual lunch and talk about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I had the opportunity to sit down to lunch with Kilikanoon CEO Nathan Waks. That the winery&#8217;s website officially lists him as &#8220;major interferor (CEO)&#8221; tells you everything you need to know about this charming fellow. Well not quite, as the website goes on to explain:
Better known as a musician, which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most journeys to California&#8217;s wine country begin with a rental car heading north out of the San Francisco airport. But for a change of pace, head 40 miles east toward Stockton and stop at Wente Vineyards in the Livermore Valley.
Here you&#8217;ll find a distinctly different kind of vista than, say, Napa Valley. It&#8217;s noticeably warm and decidedly windy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are two affordable reds from Napa&#8217;s Rutherford Ranch winery.  Both offer juicy, pretty fruit on moderate frames &#8212; I would happily drink either at a holiday party.
Rutherford Ranch 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley ($18). Bright, juicy red cherry character is laced with toasted spices and light herbal notes. Smooth and medium-bodied. Ready to drink [...]]]></description>

Alma Rosa 2008 Pinot Gris Sta. Rita Hills La Encantada Vineyard ($18). Juicy apricot and crisp nectarine and apple combine on a pretty, silky wine. With bright acidity on the smooth finish. Good value, too! Enjoyed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before the Russian River Valley became the popular choice for the &#8220;best&#8221; California Pinot Noir region, Carneros seemed poised to take the crown&#8230; The theory was that Carneros benefited from the wide open channel to the cooling bay winds, and voila, great Pinot. Of course, like most generalizations about the complicated, non-hemogenous California AVAs, it [...]]]></description>
