		<title>May is ‘Pinot’ Month!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While it isn’t a safe bet that all “pinot” wines are great wines, one can certainly extoll the virtues of well-made Pinot Noir and its mutant clone offspring Pinot Grigio. Since the movie Sideways, Pinot Noir really hasn’t been quite the same, with so many of us yearning for its complexities and more rarified nuances. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Perfect Accompaniment to Spring’s Slow Start…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March is a tease. It includes the official start of spring, but the weather rarely feels like spring has sprung despite new birds chirping, the daffodils and crocus dotting our lawns and the calendar saying that winter should be over.  We hunch over on cold, windy, sleety days, wondering when the sun will shine and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Toast to Washington State Wines!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Washington State Wine Commission has declared March as Washington Wine Month, and who are we to disagree?

		<title>Sunny Argentina&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, February. If you weren’t such a short month, you would make winter feel like an eternity. Sure, the mornings provide earlier pinkish tinges from the rising sun and our commutes home are not as dark as just a few weeks ago. Yet, the days still have that dark cast, accompanied by chilly winds, snow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding the Right Blend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aristotle is credited with coining the phrase that the whole is more than the sum of its parts, and certainly when it comes to wine, that is the goal for producing satisfying, mouth-watering blends. It’s about bringing together varietals’ best – and even quirky – features to create synergistic masterpieces. Add a smidge of Merlot, [...]]]></description>
