[...] The wine section of the silent auction featured more than 75 lots, many of them from some of Washington’s most high-profile wineries. I focused my attention on large format bottles (despite the growing belief that these bottles are just auction candy) and picked up some beauties – a 2009 double magnum (3L) of Reynvaan’s sublime ‘In The Rocks’ Syrah (right) and a pair of magnums (1.5L) made by Chuck Reininger in Walla Walla, one filled with his ’07 Carmenere and the other with a seductive ’03 Bordeaux blend called Desiderata.

Comment on To Be or Not to Be : Organic Wines in Question by Kim Kolb

Courtney,
Good write up. While I am all for doing what’s good for the earth, there has to be something said for a great wine. I have tasted organically grown grapes that produce organic wines. We have one in Colorado.. not the best wine.

We also have a winery here that does not filter their wines and doesn’t add any additional sulfites, they are one of my favorite…but they don’t do anything organic.

I think you have to have the money and the resources to take on this endeavor. Most winemakers I talk to, say it isn’t worth all the red tape and hoops you have to jump through to get the ranking or the certification.

I visited your winery a couple of weeks ago after going to the Wine Bloggers Conference in Portland. I drove to Walla Walla to meet some wine maker friends and stopped in to taste your wines as I have never been there… I loved them.. Don’t change a thing.

Mil gracias for watching our film, co-produced by Southern Wine Group and Rage Films. We appreciate your interest in what we have to say about the awesome varietal, Malbec. Hope to get a showing of Boom Varietal in Walla Walla in the near future!

Thanks for the shout out, Katie. The Reininger Malbec is wonderful — one of my favorites!

Comment on Pair with Syrah and Helix SoRho ~ Knock Your Socks Off Rustic Cassoulet by Leo Butler

I prepared this on the weekend and served at a family gathering; it was a big hit. It is perhaps the best thing I have eaten in ages. The red wine really makes this dish!

I spotted a similar recipe on epicurious.com but it called for white wine which would have change the whole nature of it. I’m so glad a recent purchase of your Ash Hollow Syrah led to this variant!

Another deep, dark in all the right ways, in my opinion, is Carménère. I wonder if this grape was ever part of the Côt Noir?

I am enjoying reading the blogs from this site. I am starting to learn more about quality wines and much of this newly discovered wine knowledge I can use as conversation material when I find myself at a party with intellectuals. I am a wine drinker, but I am not a snob nor do I have the extra income to spend over a hundred dollars. I am more inclined to buy a wine like the Reininger 2008 Mr Owl’s Red.
