Looking Back on 2008: Days of Wine and (Sometimes Dead Black) Roses January 5th As we begin 2009, and start the time-honored tradition of incorrectly dating the first few bank checks of the new year, I find that I sense a bit of a rant coming on.

Top Northwest wine stories of 2008 January 5th It was another year of interesting stories and big news in Pacific Northwest wine country. Weather was a big issue for growers and winemakers throughout the region. Wineries and vineyards came under new ownership, a giant in the B.C. wine world stepped away, and we lost Papa Pinot. With that, here are my top 10 stories for 2008 from the wine regions of Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho.

Are expensive wines the next bubble? January 5th Bubbles. By their very nature, they get big, and then, Splat! They burst. Dom-com stocks were bubbles. The housing market was a bubble. The Dow Jones of the last few years was a bubble. What did they have in common, and what does a bubble have to do with wine?

Three bubblies, Fox Business, and a mystery January 3rd We continued the discussion of "trading down" that we started last week, this time with a focus on bubbly, as the day demanded.

The Annual Pinot Noir Cycle January 5th As an agricultural enterprise, we are in synch with our culture's calendar, developed when the vast majority of people still lived and worked on farms. It's quiet in the winery and in the vineyards now, so there is time to celebrate the holidays and to reflect both on the past year and the one to come.

Rhône 2007 - an overview January 5th Halfway through my concentrated look at about 300 Châteauneuf 2007s in the village itself at the end of November, I was having a lovely time, but started to wonder whether my drive down to the land of the mistral had really been worthwhile.

Mourning a Local Loss January 5th With the new year has come some tragic local news. Christian Wölffer, owner of Wölffer Estate Vineyard, was killed in a boating accident in Brazil.
