Beguiled and Bedazzled la Deuxième Partie! Juliette's Dazzle 2011
It's back again and even more luscious.You might remember the history of Dazzle from last year's blog. It was attempted to be released for the very first time in 2003 by Long Shadow's managing winemaker, Gilles Nicault. Long story short it waited a stretch before it appeared for the first time last year with it's 2010 release. Now prettier in pink than ever it's Juliette's Dazzle - 2011.
Juliette's Dazzle is a special project of Allen Shoop, CEO and founder of Long Shadows Winery and Long Shadow's managing winemaker, Gilles Nicault. The wine is named after Allen's granddaughter, Julia. No, you won't find Juliette's Dazzle at Long Shadows or on their mailing list as it is an independent project, and is produced to be sold at restaurants and wine shops only.
First of all, the packaging is stunning with it's clear glass bowling pin shaped bottle and the gold silk screen label. The fruit is sourced from The Benches (formerly Wallula Vineyards), a vineyard that Long Shadows owns. It is a dramatic vineyard that overlooks the Columbia River from the Washington side, three miles south of the Wallula Gap.This pink rosé is produced from Pinot Gris, a grayish pink grape which is classified as "white." The fruit was lightly mascerated and fermented like a red wine on its skins, giving the wine it's sole source of color as in traditional Provence rosés.
Gilles added 2% sangiovese to add more fruitiness and to tinge the wine a lovely pink color. The wine is much lighter in color than the 2010, but just as delicious. This rosé is aromatic with hints of ripe strawberries and rhubarb on the nose. It is an easy sipper, especially with the perfect chill. The best way to describe the flavors is a mouth full of juicy ruby red grapefruit. It just fills the mouth leaving the impression of a sweet/tart wine (1% residual sugar) and the finish leaves the tip of the tongue feeling a bit of effervescence.
How to pair it with food? My same recommendations as last year: fruit salads, fruit pies, rich and creamy cheeses, Asian-influenced dishes, as well as delicate chicken and seafood dishes - - and yes, even the Thanksgiving turkey.
Also, do not toss that bottle. Recycle it and use for a summertime patio vase for your posies from the garden or a casual, but elegant water bottle for outdoor entertaining.
Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies: Weekly Wine Word Wednesdays
The Weekly Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies is: Phylloxera
Frankly, we shouldn't even be discussing this word. It is bad ju-ju. However, if you want to become an affluent wine-geek, we must acknowledge this as it is a big part of wine world history.
Phylloxera is a creepy little sap-eating louse that enjoys making a meal out of vine roots. Related to an aphid, the little bugger feeds on leaves and roots of the grape vines which produces a gall on grape leaves causing nodules and eventually killing the vine.
It came close to destroying the wine industry of France after its accidental introduction around 1860.
The good news is it was discovered that the grafting of susceptible European vines onto resistant North American rootstock saved what was left of the European vineyards. Had American rootstock not been available and used, there would be no wine industry in Europe or most of the new wine world - - and not even any Walla Walla vines and wines. Boo-hoo!

Chillin' with Woodward Canyon Riesling
We had a few days of heat last week, which was definitely a sign to toss in the wine cooler a few bottles of white wines for some impromptu sipping.
I think the state of Washington is making some of the finest domestic rieslings around. Riesling, an original wine grape from the Rhine region of Germany, was planted in Washington State as early as the late 1870's. As we "rediscovered" wine in Washington State in the 1970's and 80's, we rather situated riesling as our grape to stake our wine production on. In the mean time merlot had another idea ...Riesling wine is coming back and we are loving it! It is aromatic and showing off crisp acidity. Washington State even has prestigious German winemakers (Dr. Loosen and Armand Diehl) producing Germanic-style wines produced with Washington grapes.
A riesling you will definitely need to keep on hand this summer is from Woodward Canyon. Rick Small, winemaker and chef of Woodward Canyon, has been producing wines since the mid-1970's when he first began planting vines on his family wheat farm. While Rick is known for his hearty world class merlots and cabernets, when he produces a white wine, they do not collect dust on the winery shelves. If you want them, don't lolly-gag around. Grab them and grab them - - now!
In April I visited Woodward Canyon and had the opportunity to taste their newest release of their Non-Vintage Riesling. It is not the traditional dry riesling that Woodward Canyon is known for producing (anticipate and wait patiently for the release of their 2012 bottling). The Non-Vintage from the Columbia Valley is still very much a dry riesling, except with the aromatic qualities it shows off like that of a late harvest style.
The flavors of this white wine were plucked right from the orchard reminding me of crunchy sweet-tart apples and aromatic pears. The high, yet balanced, acidity makes for perfect summer sippin' and especially a great wine for pairing with foods. I recommend a chicken-bacon-artichoke-spinach topped pizza with a garlicky white sauce (speaking of which: did you know Rick makes and bakes his own pizza on an outdoor pizza oven on the winery grounds?), seafood salads, spicy Thai foods, and rich and gooey macaroni and cheese.
Rich says the Woodward Canyon Non-Vintage Riesling reminds him of a concentrated Alsatian dry riesling. So one can always set the table with plenty of traditional foods from Alsace to pair with. Sauerkraut, anyone?
The Friendliest Town ...
I'm troubled and I have to address it.
Wine tourism is indeed a large part of our valley, but there is also real heart in this town and it is the people who reside here. What we recently discovered, or more like what we have recently been reminded of, none of us are without our frailties - from the fifth generation of Walla Wallans to the newcomers who are raising their families here.
As long as I can remember, Walla Walla has always been "The City So Nice, They Named It Twice" and in fact, last year we were named, "The Friendliest Small Town in America" by Best of the Road contest — sponsored by Rand McNally in collaboration with USA TODAY.
I was born and raised in this idyllic little town. My father was a World War II veteran working a Monday through Friday 9-5 job to pay the VA insured mortgage. My mother was mostly a stay-at-home mom, a PTA Room Mother, active in her "Young Homemaker's Club" and hosted baby showers and "kaffee klatsches." Yes, we even owned two cars and had a picket fence around our house. The very worst that I knew about life was the penitentiary across the highway and even then, we went to school with the warden's daughters and attended birthday parties and play dates at the warden's house on the penitentiary grounds.
Summer vacations were often spent at my grandparent's house across town in the "country" where we rode horses, feed the chickens, read books and comics under the big maple trees, played in the "raging" Yellowhawk Creek, and picked strawberries at the Klicker farm.
Sure, you guessed it, I was one of those children of the 60-70's and I was all about "peace, love, and hippie beads" while my older brother was in Vietnam. I suppose my ignorance, and that of innocence, was all taken away when I became married to a "career" funeral director. For the majority of our 20 years together, we lived and worked at the funeral home. I soon discovered that the funeral business was more than "grandpa dying because he was old" as there was a whole another side to it; from deadly and horribly disfigured accidents than one could never imagine (or ever forget), removing bodies from the local penitentiary (from suicides to executions), being discreet about someone's husband having a heart attack in the girlfriend's bed, and unfortunately heinous and tragic murders of crime and passion.
After my divorce I continued with jobs that dealt with distraught people and emotional situations; from office manager at the local women and children's shelter for domestic violence, an assistant for a county defense attorney, and later 10 years with a firm of civil law attorneys.
Finally, I am now employed in an agricultural industry that has the ability to enhance a healthy and happy lifestyle with friends, family and even co-workers. However, aside from this "new line of work" it still doesn't stop me from thinking, reaching deep down inside, and trying to understand humanity - - and at least feel some compassion for both sides of a story.
On May 4th we became a town rather divided when the authorities reported a young man by the name of Cesar was shot and killed after breaking and entering into a local store after hours and allegedly leaving with merchandise - silver belt buckles. John, the owner of the store is somewhat of a local icon. It's these colorful characters that remind us who we are and what small towns are all about. John probably fit most of us, and our children's children, in cowboy boots and hats during our rodeo and fair celebrations. It was not just a business for John, but it was also his lifestyle and his home. Yes, he and a few pet cats also lived in the same building as where John conducted business.
As I have perused Walla Walla Facebook pages and local online news, emotions are high and sides have been formed. Comments have been written of racial slurs, taunts, accusations of prejudices and threats of retaliation. Accusations were even made that the shooting was racially motivated.
Once the shock of it all was over and my logic could finally kick in, something told me that John didn't take the time to ask if the burglar was Hispanic, Chinese or Anglo before he took the fateful shot in the dark. I understand the need to protect as I too had someone break into my house - not once, but on two occasions and I cannot begin to explain the terror that one feels deep in the belly - the feeling of the unknown.
I looked through Cesar's Facebook page and the photos didn't tell me about what kind of person he was other than showing a young man with twinkling blue eyes from Chihuahua, Mexico who came to live in Walla Walla. However, the photos on his Facebook wall told me more about the people in his life by their smiles, embraces and camaraderie as they posed by him. The photos told me how much he was loved.
Last week I just happened to drive by the cemetery where Cesar was being buried and by the crowds of people that filled the cemetery and the line up of cars parked blocks away, was once again a reminder of how many people loved this young man.
Several long-time Walla Wallans kept somewhat of a vigil in front of John's business making sure he was okay, from checking in on him, making a special trip to his store to buy merchandise they might not otherwise purchase, and even sending him cards of support. A lot of people love this man with his deep Walla Walla roots, and are worried for his safety.
Cesar was a young man of 22 years old and unfortunately, according to public record, he had seen his days in criminal court. However, as young as he was, he still had the potential to change and live a full and productive life. John is 70 years old and has always been a private man and owner of a long running store of three generations of Walla Walla descendants.
Those who loved Cesar are claiming that he was chased out of the store by John and shot outside the store. Those of us who know John, or the last time I saw John, he was walking with a cane, had a bent posture and he was moving very slow. As of the date of this publishing, the authorities have yet to release their findings.
Some of the locals are furious at the local newspaper for publishing a photo of a memorial of where the authorities found the deceased. The photo of the memorial showed tributes of flowers, candles and other meaningful trinkets to those who are grieving. Those upset at the photo have accused the paper for being "biased" instead of understanding that publishing the photo is the job of the newspaper. They are reporting the "news" and it was certainly news for those of us who do not travel up and down this street on a daily basis where the memorial had been laid.
Last week, friends and family of Cesar held a candle light vigil, a protest of sorts, in front of the John's store. The Sheriff's Department, who were stationed nearby, stated that several-hundred people involved in the protest over all remained peaceful. Family and friends have formed a petition for justice to be done on behalf of the deceased. Many people opposed the protest and told those in the protest to "move on and get over it."
There is truly no designated time for when the bereaved needs to quit grieving nor is there a certain way to grieve, and the protest was exactly that - people were grieving and needed to be with others who felt their same loss.
There is truly no designated time for when the bereaved needs to quit grieving nor is there a certain way to grieve, and the protest was exactly that - people were grieving and needed to be with others who felt their same loss.
A new local organization, Take Back Walla Walla, planned a rally in support of John. On behalf of John, his attorney indicated John is a not a member of the group or rally and does not support the group or their efforts, as he feels it is not beneficial and will only harm the healing process. The Chief of Police and the County Sheriff requested that people honor John's wishes and not attend the rally. A few people showed up anyway, but there were more cops than there were protestors.
Several of the protestors from both sides are protesting each others protests.
The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble ...
The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment protects the right of people to keep and bear arms, unconnected to service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home ...
Crazy thing about those amendments that we hold so dear, as we have one group condemning a man for exercising the Second Amendment and both groups condemning each other for exercising the First Amendment due to actions and the results of the Second Amendment.
The biblical quotes and the Ten Commandments, yet selective, have been preached to each other: 6) Thou shalt not kill. 8) Thou shalt not steal.
Somewhere in all of this, and to both sides, I am reminded by the quote from Mahatma Gandhi, "Hate the sin, love the sinner."
Who is wrong and who is right? I believe we have now gone past the point of who is right and who is wrong as a young man's life is gone and another man will be haunted as long as he lives. Everyone who had ever been involved with Cesar or John is hurting or troubled by the events that shook our town - that is one thing that we can all agree upon. It is a tragedy for all of us.
Are we still the friendliest town of America? Are we still the city so nice they named it twice? I think we are or we wouldn't care so much.
Walla Walla is rich in history from our people to our agriculture. We are rich in agriculture from wheat, onions, and especially wine grapes. Wine grapes are nothing new in Walla Walla as there were vineyards and wineries decades ago as French and Italian immigrants planted wine grapes and made their wine.*
We are rich with a history of immigrants settling in the valley. French, Italians, Chinese, (by 1880, Walla Walla had a Chinese population of 600, which is now depleted**) and a few decades ago; now a large community of Hispanics have been added to our history of immigrants.
This community of people need each other for our town to survive - - we always have. If we look past the emotions and sentiment, it's really true. We depend on the farmers to manage and grow the crops from our fertile Walla Walla soil and we depend on the laborers to assist in managing and harvesting the fruits and most of all, we need tourists (and the locals) to buy our wine and other crops so that we can depend on the farmers to manage and grow the crops and the laborers to harvest ...
In joy and in sadness, it is an ongoing circle for the "Friendliest Small Town of America."

Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies: Weekly Wine Word Wednesdays
The Weekly Walla Walla Wine Word for Dummies is: Carbonic Maceration
Okay, so this is a total of two words and not one word for dummies. Good, so you can count. This isn't a math session, this is vocab.
Carbonic maceration (or whole berry fermentation) is a winemaking technique that is often associated with the French wine region of Beaujolais The goal is to produce a light, but fruity red wine that one can drink immediately (Thanksgiving Beaujolais Nouveau, anyone?). Instead of traditional winemaking, which involves crushing the grapes prior to fermenting by yeast, carbonic maceration involves clusters of red grapes that are fermented whole. The process starts with whole clusters placed in a closed fermentation bin or tank under a carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere.
In this process, alcohol is produced inside of the berrry. Yeast takes the sugar inside of the grapes turning it into carbon dioxide. While the grapes are bubbling away, it's creating alcohol and an intense fruity aroma.
However, due to the weight of the clusters it will cause some of the berries to break, leaving juice at the bottom of the fermentation bin or tank to undergo conventional fermentation. The final result is wine that is fruity with very low tannins. It is ready to drink quickly but lacks the structure for any long-term aging.A great example of a local carbonic macerated wine is from College Cellars - "Beaujo-Lem Nouveau" - 2011. This is the enology students response to Beaujolais Nouveau - - but produced with Lemberger grapes. (see Walla Walla Wine For Dummies - Lemberger ) These grapes were partially carbonically macerated to enhance their cherry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors. On the palate, the Beaujo-Lem Nouveau tannins are silky smooth and gentle. It is definitely a wine to be chilled and enjoyed during a summer BBQ.

Thanks for the prompt and positive reply. I really appreciated that!
The time you would dedicate to the blog is directly related to how much exposure you want to have on my site. The beautiful thing about "wine lovers" (like ourselves) is that most of the time we can find ways to help each other. If you take a look at www.thewinehub.com (the old version is still there) you will see that we have a vast range of opportunities for that...
By the way, do you have a wine-related subject in mind that you want to write about?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Best,
