CLUB WRITEUPS

December 2003 Specialty Club

2001 Aubert Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay
Let´s see: This wine is listed as collectable (only 702 cases made); highly rated (95 points, wine of the week in the Wine Spectator); has an amazing track record, as Mark Aubert was winemaker for Newton, Peter Michael, and still is for Colgin!  Do I really need to say just how excited I was to get this wine for this club?  I have miniscule amounts left at $55.00.

2001 Cayuse Cailloux Vineyard Syrah
Y´know, I could pretty much duplicate the notes above, make a few alterations, and leave it sit.  So I´ll do that…give this some time in the cellar, please - Christophe Baron´s wines take a bit of time to grow up.

We have a limited amount of Cayuse wines available at $45.00 each.  First preference will be given to the members of the Specialty and Washington clubs.   Sorry for doling these out in tiny quantities, but we´d like to be fair to all!  See Bear for details.
