Over the hills and far and away, to wine country m. 3T ELEGANCE ON THE CHEAP TRAVIS GENY If you have been following this column for the past cou ple of months, it should be obvious that inexpensive, quality wines are readily avail able in Eugene. Whether it be found taking that country drive out to one of the many local vineyards, or through a bargain at the corner wine cellar, there is wine-a-plenty flowing through Eugene. Once again. I have found anoth er treasure tucked away in the pic turesque Willamette Valley that only adds to the artistic flow of lo cal Oregon wine. Like virtually all of these local treasures, the vine yard is located a bit on the fringe of Eugene, so finding transporta tion is a must. But once you’re there, you’ll find that LaVelle Vineyards is one of those places that makes you glad you took the drive. Because the vineyard is located just outside Veneta, the drive is a short hop from Eugene and a nice little trip that will let you get into the country and out of the city, if just for a little while. Although LaVelle winery may not possess the same grandeur as King Estate or the subtlety of Se cret House, it does have the re fined sense of place of real crafts manship of days past. Finding LaVelle is a bit of a trick. Turn right at the Veneta/Elmira junction, and keep Turn to Wine, page 8B Know Your Wines Suggestion: Cut this out and save it to impress your classy friends. Red Wines Cabernet Sauvignon — Referred to as the king of red wines; made of the pri mary grape varieties grown in Bor deaux, and successfully grown in the Northwest. Gamay—Low in alcohol, this wine comes from a red grape that is best known for producing fruity, light to medium-bodied wines from Beaujo lais; grown in California, and the Loire Valley of France. Merlot—A popular red wine grape, Merlot is traditionally blended into the wines of the Pauillac, Margaux, Graves, and Saint-Est£phe regions of Bordeaux. In Pomerol and Saint-Emil ion Merlot dominates the wines. Pinot Noir—The noble red grape that produces all the great red Burgundies. In champagne it is vinified without skin contact to produce a white wine. A difficult grape to cultivate, it can produce some of the most elegant wines in the world. Rose—A light pink wine, dry to sweet, made by removing the skins of red grapes early in the fermentation processor sometimes by mixing red and white wines. Syrah—Famous red wine grape grown in the northern Rhone Valley. Hermitage and C6te R6tie are two of the great wines produced with this long-lived, spicy, aromatic grape. White Wines Chardonnay—This noble grape is grown in many wine regions around the world. It is responsible for the great white wines from the Burgundy region of France. Chardonnay ranges from medium to full-bodied and is fre quently aged in oak barrels to en hance its flavor. Chenin Blanc—A very versatile white wine grape known in many areas of the world. It is the most famous white wine made in the Loire Valley of France. The grape is known for its high acidity and can be fermented dry or medium-sweet. Gewurztraminer—A perfumed, pun gent, spicy white grape that produces semisweet to dry wines; a specialty of Alsace (France) but also grown in Cali fornia, Germany, Eastern Europe, Aus tralia, and New Zealand. Pinot Blanc—A white wine grape of ten mistaken for Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc isa light, smooth white that should be consumed young. Continued on page 8B
