CLUB WRITEUPS

December 2005 Washington Wine Club

Morrison Lane 33 1/3
I just love going on my yearly Thanksgiving weekend trip to Walla Walla and finding goodies like this!  This imaginative blend from Dean and Verdie Morrison is 1/3 each Counoise, Viognier, and Syrah - a truly unusual combination.  Dean, a serious jazz bassist, couldn´t resist naming it for his (and my) favorite recorded music format, and I can´t resist selling it at the same price: $33.33.  It´s ready to drink with decanting.

2003 Betz Family Winery La Cote Rousse Syrah
This is this year´s installment of Bob Betz´s Red Mountain Syrah.   As usual, it´s outstanding, and outstandingly cellarable.  We have a bit more of this at $48.00, as well as it´s companion Syrah, La Serenne.  We´ve put this one in last year as well; enjoy the vertical!
