WINE MYTHS: AGING WINE
A large part of the snobbery
and intimidation that prevents wine from
gaining a larger audience, such as young
adults or novices, is based on common misconceptions
or myths. Some of the more well known myths
get their origins from wine beliefs that
have been passed down for generations, with
roots dating back to the earliest days of
wine.
The belief that older wine is better than
young has proceeded to plague the wine industry
for decades and is based on an outdated
understanding about wine preferences. Do
you enjoy a more subtle wine with food or
do you enjoy a fruit forward wine that can
stand on its own? Actually, it doesn’t
have to be one or the other, but you must
first understand how (and which) wines age
before knowing if aging is for you.

WINERY - "A LESSON IN BETZOLOGY"
Bob Betz, winemaker and owner of Betz Family Winery,
is somewhat of a local celebrity. Not only because
of his 28 year tenure with local wine behemoth
Chateau Ste. Michelle, or the fact that he makes
fantastic wines. But, because he is one of the
few people in the world (206 people total) who
have earned the distinguished title Master of
Wine (M.W.). The only other professional winemaker
to do so in the US is David Lake from Columbia
Winery, also located in Woodinville, Washington.
With a failure rate of 88% for those seeking to
gain this esteemed title, this is definitely no
walk in the park.

PARTY FEATURE: CREATE A MEMORABLE TASTING
PARTY
Many of us might not be that far removed from
the beer-guzzling bashes of our college days.
Or, we just feel that a swanky wine tasting party
sounds complicated and expensive. Wine tastings
however, can be both a killer time (most of the
people who have attended one of our parties can
attest to that) and something you can do without
spending an outrageous amount of money. We'll
be looking at some ideas on how take a traditional
wine tasting and turn it into a fun wine party.
FEATURED REGION: RATTLESNAKE RIDGE - WASHINGTON'S
9TH AVA

Rattlesnake Hills. Soon to be the ninth official
Washington AVA, Rattlesnake Hills covers an expanse
of 68,500 acres boasting 17 wineries and 29 vineyards.
We will be taking an up-close look at what makes
this region unique including the wines produced
there.
