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

Suggestion: Cut this out and save it to

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.
