		<title>Garage Sailing in 1899</title>
		<description><![CDATA[













The 1899 project is in full swing. We have three barrels of pinot that have
never been moved with internal combustion or electricity. We picked them by
hand, brought them to the winery by horse, and dropped them using gravity into
a wood fermenter using whole-cluster and a hand-crank destemmer. They
experienced a 10-day cold-soak before their native yeast [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How is wine made?  It&#8217;s a pretty simple question, with a rather complicated answer.  In my first blog entry for Illahe Vineyards, I will try to explain our process for making pinot noir.  But making wine is more than just a process—it&#8217;s an experience.  In this blog, I really wanted to share that experience by [...]]]></description>

		<title>American Art Icon James Siena Designs for Illahe</title>

		<title>Illahe Reserve Pinot noir &#8211; Hits Like a Bombshell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
By Guest Contributor Jean Yates, Avalon Wine
We taste a lot of wine at Avalon and it takes a lot to impress us. Last week, Illahe&#8217;s Reserve Pinot noir 08 hit us like a bombshell. It&#8217;s a contender for our list of the best of the famous 2008 vintage, and a wine that you want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harvest Approacheth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve never jumped out of an airplane, but it’s a good movie shot when the guys are getting ready to jump and they’re collecting their thoughts quietly with the drone of the motors on the soundtrack. That’s what it feels like to me now at bloom + 105. One-hundred and five days after bloom is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snail Powered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the curiosity piqued by Russ Raney’s involvement in the Slow Food Movement, I found the book Slow Food by Carlo Petrini and finished reading it yesterday.
The basic idea of the book, and the name, is that fast food is bad and the opposite, natural food produced by families in traditional ways, is good. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Back in Time Takes a While</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Finally, after four years of planning and work, I have mowed a row of grapes. Illahe’s friend and teamster Mark Sougstad, who is driving in the picture above, handed me the lines and walked in front of me with his hat held above Doc’s head so I could aim his ears down the middle of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Short History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Romans sometimes finished their wines in a smoke-filled fumentarium and grew grapes up the side of trees, the Greeks plugged up their amphorae with pitch, and the Egyptians pressed wine in large canvas sheets that they twisted like they were wringing out a towel.
The French developed a taste for wine stored in a barrel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did someone say tacos, mango salsa, and Pinot Gris?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Illahe fans everywhere are beginning to write in with their recipes to match
our wines. This recipe for fish tacos comes from Santa Barbara, California
from our esteemed graphic designer, Merry Young, who believes that it was a
perfect match with our pinot gris.
Remember, it takes a lot of beer to pair with great wine.
You&#8217;ll probably want to [...]]]></description>
