Fidelitas gets jiggy with Optu
There’s little doubting that many in the Wine industry regard Charlie Hoppes as one of the State of Washington’s more premiere winemakers. His passion and know-how are about as good as you can find anywhere.
When he first kicked out his original “Optu”, it wasn’t called Optu it has the name of Meritage - and while [...]
2007 Pacific Rim Vin de Glaciere Riesling
Price: $18
Winery Link: http://rieslingrules.com�
Many wine drinkers today have sorta given sweeter wines a bat rap - I mean, who can handle all that sugar on ones palate, right? Well, outside of wine-newbies (who tend to gravitate towards the sweeter side), there’s a lot one can appreciate with wines of this fare if you either have them [...]
2007 Andeluna “Winemakers Selection” Torrontes
Winery Website: Andeluna Cellars
MSRP: $12.00�
It’s very exciting for me to watch other, newer, wine regions cropping up with such promise and one of the more recent ones has been that of the country of Argentina. Already known for its great Malbecs, this region is also producing some other interesting grape varieties such as Torrontes - [...]
2005 Maryhill Syrah
Winery Link: www.maryhillwinery.com
MSRP: $20.00
Maryhill is one of the top wine producers of Washington State when you consider the amount of wine it produces at the quality to price points it charges. While there are going to be better quality wines from ultra-botique producers, few if any can match Maryhill’s quality-to-quantity ratio.
I’m usually more impressed with [...]

2006 Girasole Vineyards “Organic” Zinfandel
Winery Link: www.girasolevineyards.com
Winery Phone #:(707) 485-0322
MSRP: $13.00
There’s been a pretty big push over the last couple of years by some wineries to go organic - from the grapes to the type of yeast used. It sounds good on the surface, but really, when was the last time you had a stellar organic wine (seriously, email [...]
2007 Pacific Rim Wallula Vineyard Riesling
Winery Link: www.rieslingrules.com
Winery Contact email: info@rieslingrules.com
MSRP: $20.00
There is perhaps no other winery I know of in the United States which are bigger zealots of Riesling - we’re talking about Pacific Rim here folks. Started-up a few years ago by the famous wine-mogul of Bonny Doon Vineyard in Santa Cruz California, Pacific Rim snagged a winemaker [...]
2007 Ventana Gewurztraminer
Winery Website: www.ventanavineyards.com
Winery Phone #: 831-372-7415

Ventana Vineyards, located in the greater Monterey California area, has won so many awards for its vineyard that it literally is the most award-winning vineyard in the USA and this wine completely backs that up.
All to many people kick Gewurztraminer to the curb during the year and tend to [...]
