élevage: Back in the Texas Hill Country
http://elevage.blogspot.com/2015/03/back-in-texas-hill-country.html
El´ vazh] n. m. The education of wine. A blog. Part of Vincent Wine Company, Portland, OR. March 26, 2015. Back in the Texas Hill Country. I'm back in the hill country outside Austin, TX, visiting in-laws with my wife and kids. It's been a few years since I was last here and I've been quickly reminded about something I blogged some years back that really annoys me and is worth revisiting. I only learned this through my own experiences tasting "Texas" wines over the years. In-laws would proudly pour m...

élevage: Five years
http://elevage.blogspot.com/2015/05/five-years.html
El´ vazh] n. m. The education of wine. A blog. Part of Vincent Wine Company, Portland, OR. May 03, 2015. My first official vintage. (photo courtesy of M. McCall). Cue on of my favorite David Bowie songs. Today is an important day for me, five years almost to the minute when an unexpected email came to me. It lead to the first order of Vincent Wine Company wine, a case of my 2009 Vincent Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills, my first vintage. That's not happening today. Perhaps I always knew that anyone could ...

élevage: New (and old) California comes to Oregon
http://elevage.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-and-old-california-comes-to-oregon.html
El´ vazh] n. m. The education of wine. A blog. Part of Vincent Wine Company, Portland, OR. June 21, 2014. New (and old) California comes to Oregon. Exciting things are happening in California wine. But I'm not talking about Napa and cabernet, or Somona and pinot. Not even central coast and syrah and other Rhone varieties, as well suited as these varieties are in their respective regions. It can be entertaining hearing Californians (and true, some Oregonians) try to thread the big flavor / elegance needle.

élevage: Ten years
http://elevage.blogspot.com/2014/11/ten-years.html
El´ vazh] n. m. The education of wine. A blog. Part of Vincent Wine Company, Portland, OR. November 29, 2014. What do you say when you haven't spoken for so long? I think about that. It's good to be back. But it represents something I set out to do ten years ago that actually came to pass, by hard work, persistence really, and definitely a lot of patience. I wouldn't want it any other way. In the old Honda, driving home on I-5 through north Portland on a grey Monday morning, I committed to a life in wine...
