WINECOW.COM NEWSLETTER
February 01, 2006

 
 

A lot has been happening at WineCOW since the last update. Mostly we have continued drinking a lot of great Washington wine (to be expected). We’ve also been checking out new wineries, trying more wines, interviewing winemakers, trying more wines, adding new features, and trying more wines. Our goal is to keep WineCOW.com constantly updated so you always have fun, new information to check out!
Everyone has been asking for the next WineCOW party. This is in the works. We are looking to try and put something together in March so stay tuned! It will be another fun night of great wine, music, food, and the COW.

THE "WOW" WINE CLUB

The "WOW" (Wines of Washington) Wine Club is in full swing with another installment of small run, high quality Washington wine going out in mid February. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet do so today. There are three different levels of membership to appeal to any budget or wine preference.



PLANNING A SUPERBOWL PARTY?
TRY IT WITH WINE!

The Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl!!! And, as everyone is getting ramped up to throw their Super Bowl parties, buying up all the little smokies, salsa con queso, and beer; we are here to remind you to not forget the wine!
Actually, we have added a new feature to the site, “WineCOW - Wine Party Ideas.” Learn how to create your own wine party or incorporate it into your own special occasions. Although we live by the motto “wine for everyday, no occasion necessary”, there are also many times when a certain occasion merits a great wine party. What better way to launch this new feature than to show you how to throw a wine Super Bowl party! Learn which inexpensive Washington wines should be there, what traditional Super Bowl foods pair with what wines, and what to have on hand when the Seahawks win!

NEW FEATURED WINERY - GORMAN WINERY

WineCOW recently had a chance to sit down with Chris Gorman, winemaker/owner of Gorman Winery, for a new featured winery interview. In addition to the new feature we are also offering two of Gorman’s now sold out wines, “Pixie” Syrah, and “Zachary’s Ladder” Cabernet, from our WineCOW.com online wine store.

The 2003 Pixie Syrah is exceptionally dark and concentrated with rich flavors of sweet black cherry, licorice, cracked pepper and brown spices. The long tannins of this Red Mountain Syrah are balanced by its silky textured fruit and substantial glycerin. This is a big powerful wine.
The 2002 Zachary’s Ladder is plush and layered with ripe berry, cassis, tobacco and spicy oak. A unique wine in the line-up of Gorman's reds, driven by Seven Hills Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. A great bottle of wine that even improves even more after a little breathing time.

TOP WASHINGTON WINES OF 2005

2005 was a great year for Washington wineries making headway in the national spotlight, but most importantly for offering great wines! Many of the world’s best wines last year came from our own back yard, as featured in NW Wine Press, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast magazine. So, we did a little research to share with you some of these diamonds in the rough. Of course, we had to throw in a few of the wines we as “WineCOWs” forked over the cash for in 05’ as well. Check it out in the “Top Washington Wines of 2005” feature.
