WINE MYTH BUSTED: UNCORKING A WINE BOTTLE EARLY HELPS IT BREATHE
A common misconception has evolved suggesting that a newly opened bottle of wine will taste/drink better after it has had time to “breathe”. As a result many people today will order or open a bottle and let it sit for an undetermined period of time, usually until their food is ready, before pouring the wine into their glasses. It is believed that by removing the cork the wine inside the bottle is allowed to mix and mingle with the air, or “breathe”, which opens up it’s aromas, softens the wine and improves its flavor characteristics. The intended result is a better more drinkable wine than if it were poured directly after opening.
Actually, uncorking a bottle of wine and allowing it to sit before drinking has no effect on the taste of the wine.

TWO GREAT NEW SUMMER WINES!!!
Summer isn’t over yet! Celebrate with two of the best Chardonnays in Washington State.
MARK RYAN WINERY - 2005 CHARDONNAY
This wine was made with one goal in mind: to craft a truly world-class Chardonnay from sites designated specifically for Chardonnay grapes, Conner Lee and Stillwater Creek vineyards. Blended together, the wine walks the fine balance of style and greatness.
CHATEAU STE. MICHELLE - 2004 CANOE RIDGE ESTATES CHARDONNAY
This is a big, lush wine with concentrated aromas and flavors of pear, grapefruit, peach and sweet, toasty oak. With its rich viscosity and buttery mouthfeel this big, bold, age-worthy Chardonnay is sure to please (92 pts - Wine Spectator & 92 pts - Wine Advocate).

FEATURED WINERY -
MARK RYAN

Mark Ryan Winery in Woodinville, WA is quickly reaching celebrity status with their superbly blended reds and luscious flavorful whites. If you haven’t tried any of their fantastic wines then your missing out, which isn’t uncommon since most of Mark Ryan’s wines sell out almost immediately upon release.
So, what does it take to reach "Rock Star" status in the wine industry?
