I'm sorry I missed it; for some reason, the Google blog alert that I have set up for "Tablas Creek" doesn't ever catch your postings on Good Wine Under $20.<BR/><BR/>I have been excited to see to growing interest around Rhone whites, both from France and from California. I think that, in the long run, California's Central Coast is going to be one of the very best spots in the world for these richer grapes like Roussanne and Grenache Blanc. You get plenty of heat and sun to ripen them, but the cold nights (much colder than in the Rhone Valley; after a day in the 90s here today the forecast low is for the low 40s) frame the richness with good acids and give a beautiful vibrancy to the fruit.<BR/><BR/>I was sorry to miss you at the recent Rhone Rangers Los Angeles tasting; I understand you were out of town with a good excuse :><BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>-JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-20132486344218378112008-06-13T20:25:00.000-07:002008-06-13T20:25:00.000-07:00I agree, Sara!

I miss the deadline.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, my contribution, <A HREF="http://winecase.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/wine-blogging-wednesday-46-the-whiter-side-of-rhone/" REL="nofollow">on Jean-Luc Colombo's surprisingly fresh whites</A> (and other considerations), is now online.<BR/><BR/>I'm still a bit perplexed at the lack of action on the Wine Blogging Wednesday web site. Why was there no official announcement? Why no update since May? I just hope everyone is all right and that things will be clearer for WBW 47.<BR/><BR/>By the way, for French speakers (or readers, at least), there is a French equivalent of the WBW. They are called the <A HREF="http://vendredis.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">Vendredis du Vin</A> (Wine Fridays, litterally), and I have the pleasure of coordinating them.

If you're still working on finding/drinking/reviewing your wine, I won't start the roundup until Saturday so no penalties for lateness (don't tell my students or there will be a mutiny!). We have 44 submissions so far, several first-time bloggers, and some unusual wines and stories behind the reviews. I can't wait to round them all up for you.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-41704617190701749852008-06-12T08:00:00.000-07:002008-06-12T08:00:00.000-07:00One late post for you--http://winefornewbies.net/w...One late post for you--<BR/><BR/>http://winefornewbies.net/wordpress/?p=450<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Bill WilsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-34461692104439737032008-06-11T21:01:00.000-07:002008-06-11T21:01:00.000-07:00What a mouth-watering review!
