<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>To<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-168" title="escudo" src="http://wineandbeer.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/escudo.gif" alt="escudo" width="120" height="97" />day we have the pleasure of welcoming Matias Mayol to our Virtual Winemaker Program at Wine and Beer Westpark from 5:30-6:30!</p>
<p>Matias will be joining us via video conference from his family winery in Mendoza, Argentina.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be sampling and discussing their Sauvignon Blanc, Bonarda, Malbec, Cuatro Primos (Meritage), and Montuiri Malbec.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.familiamayol.com/english/about_us.html">Familia Mayol </a>winery began in 1990. The family now holds three properties around Mendoza from which they draw the fruit for their estate bottled, hand made wines. Quality drives the low production Familia Mayol wines, which highlight the high altitude and often single-vineyard grape sources.</p>
<p>Seeing these wines at under $20 is quite a remarkable feat! Join us in person today at 9631 West Broad Street, Glen Allen, Va or return to our blog to enjoy our first Virtual Winemaker video footage by the beginning of next week!</p>
<p>This is a free event&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The Scene: Wine and Beer Westpark Our weekly Thu tasting (8/27)</p>
<p>After a handsome bit of pestering from our favorite Luxembourgian we opened the Benegas Don Tiburcio (Argentina, $13), decanted it, and then presented the wine blind next to the 2003 Joseph Phelps Insignia (Napa, $$$).</p>
<p>Now there&#8217;s no arguing that the Don Tiburcio is an exceptional value at $13, as there was no pretending this would be a survey of merit. But, we&#8217;re a curious lot, and there was something remarkable in our customer&#8217;s reactions to the pair of decanters. Naturally suspicion arose that this was some kind of test to fail, but our novice tasters provided equal curiosity. Suffice it to say, close to an even split for the preferred decanter -  some admitted under reluctance, as well.</p>
<p>Then we did the unthinkable &#8211; we blended the two wines together.     Shock, and awe right? :0</p>
<p>Well, why not? Don Tiburcio&#8217;s rich Malbec played well in the smaller Insignia bringing more fruit and cocoa notes to the front, while the overall body of the Argentine blend was subdued by a touch of Napa elegance. Cuvee Don Signia was neither original, but, instead,  quite an enjoyable wine all its own.</p>
<p>More importantly, our experiment &#8211; which evolved from the simple question &#8220;which do you prefer?&#8221; &#8211; became a deft lesson in the rules of engagement: enjoy wine first. Take pleasure in wine.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to have fun, and don&#8217;t worry about what other people like &#8211; your mouth is always the best judge of what&#8217;s best for you! The true luxury of wine is finding gems at every price point, and that&#8217;s something you can do everyday. Oh, and don&#8217;t be afraid if you spill a blend or two of your own, if the situation calls for it.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Big savings are in store for homeowners seeking an upgraded designer home. Lennar is offering quick ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs174.snc1/6528_152981075929_36034145929_3936164_6432972_n.jpg" height="263" alt="" width="375" style="border:2px solid black;float:right;margin:2px;" />Big savings are in store for homeowners seeking an upgraded designer home. Lennar is offering quick closings on solar-powered homes with state-of-the-art amenities included as standard in some of Sacramento’s most highly-respected communities. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to move in to your new home before the holidays! </p>
<p> Five homes with diverse floorplans are currently available for quick closings at three communities in WestPark in Roseville. At Ironcrest at Fiddyment Farm, starting in the $300,000s, two homes are available for September move-in. On homesite 127, a Syrah, the popular 2,128-square-foot one-story plan with three bedrooms and two and one-half bathrooms is available along with a two-story Merlot plan on homesite 128. The Merlot, with 2,768 square feet, has four bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms and a three-bay garage. </p>
<p> <img src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs174.snc1/6528_152981285929_36034145929_3936165_7664325_n.jpg" height="151" alt="" width="215" style="border:2px solid black;float:left;margin:2px;" />At Walkabout, two homes are also available for September move-in. On homesite 118, the Rose plan, with 2,316 square feet, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a three-bay garage. The Marsanne, another four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, is available on homesite 119. These homes are both priced in the mid $300,000s. At Sentiero, the quick move-in opportunity is on homesite 28 with the Rainier plan, which has 2,201 square feet, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The Rainier is priced in the high $200,000s. </p>
<p> Lennar’s Kavala Ranch communities in Rancho Cordova have two quick closing opportunities. In Andravida, homesite 76 has a family-friendly Donatello plan, with 2,980 square feet, five bedrooms, four bathrooms and an upstairs bonus room. The Donatello is available in the mid $300,000s. At Verano, a Rose plan is available with 2,316 square feet, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The Rose on homesite 21 is priced in the low $300,000s. </p>
<p> All Lennar homes come equipped with top-notch amenities such as stainless steel appliances, granite slab kitchen countertops, upgraded Birch or Beechwood cabinetry throughout the home—18”x18” tile in the entry, kitchen and bathrooms— plus beautiful front-yard landscaping. </p>
<p> <img src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs194.snc1/6528_152981765929_36034145929_3936168_6056413_n.jpg" height="151" alt="" width="227" style="border:2px solid black;float:left;margin:2px;" />Lennar homes also feature a solar electric system designed to offer maximum energy-efficiency. Combining solar electric systems with some of today’s most innovative products and materials, Lennar’s solar homes give buyers a lifetime of value by significantly reducing electricity costs, preserving the environment, and creating energy independence. </p>
<p>At Shenandoah II at Blackstone in El Dorado Hills, Lennar will feature a release of three brand new homes this weekend. In addition to the new release, Shenandoah II has one quick move-in opportunity on homesite 251, which features a Syrah, a 2,128 one-story home with three bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms and a den. The Syrah is priced in the low $400,000s. </p>
<p> It’s a first-time homebuyer’s last chance to take advantage of an $8,000 federal tax credit but closing must occur before November 30, 2009 so homebuyers should act quickly. Homebuyers should also know that tax credits are subject to eligibility requirements; therefore they should consult with their tax advisor as tax laws are subject to change. Not tax advice. </p>
<p> On select homes that close by September 30, 2009, qualified buyers, who meet the minimum credit score, occupancy and other investor requirements, can choose from a low fixed mortgage rate offered through UAMC of CA, Lennar’s preferred lender, or a special move-in package, with free backyard landscaping and free window coverings. Along with highly-attainable pricing, excellent financing allows homebuyers to purchase a home within their means. </p>
<p> “It’s the savings homebuyers have been waiting for!” said Laura Stickelman, Sales Manager for Lennar Sacramento. “Homebuyers can beat the rush and move in to their new home by November 30th, just in time to meet the federal tax credit deadline. Lennar homes are built on integrity, quality and value and we’re dedicated to providing homebuyers the very best home possible.” </p>
<p> Homebuyers are encouraged to tour one of Lennar’s Sacramento solar homes and see why Lennar homes are the measure of excellence. Sales Pavilions are open this weekend from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For a complete list of communities in Sacramento, call (866) 417-8471 or visit www.lennarsacramento.com. </p>
<p> Celebrating its 55th anniversary, Lennar has grown to become one of the nation’s leading homebuilders. With hundreds of Communities nationwide and homes designed for first-time, move-up and luxury homebuyers, Lennar has long distinguished itself by simply including everything as standard under its motto, “Everything You Want, Everything You Need, That’s the Logic of Lennar®.” Equal Housing Opportunity. UAMC of CA, an equal housing lender, is licensed by the Department of Corporations under the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act. </p>

<description><![CDATA[Als absoluter Blender Neuling, habe ich mich nun an mein erstes Projekt rangemacht. &#8220;Westpark]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Als absoluter Blender Neuling, habe ich mich nun an mein erstes Projekt rangemacht. &#8220;Westpark&#8221; soll sich an die Serie &#8220;Southpark&#8221; anlehnen. Deshalb habe ich den Klassenraum der Serie zumindest grob nachmodelliert. Eine komplette Kopie wäre ja auch irgendwie langweilig, schließlich besteht ja das Modellieren gerade daraus, eigene Dinge zu entwerfen.Wie dem auch sei &#8211; inspiriert hat mich ein Video auf youtube, dessen Künstler der normalen 2D Variante von Southpark eine Z-Achse verpasste und so die ganze Geschichte  dreidimensional wurde . Das Original wird übrigens mittlerweile in der Software Maya produziert, nachdem es zuerst von Hand gemalen wurde. Da in der Serie nicht außerordentlich viele Orte vorkommen und so ein Klassenraum ziemlich einfach zu entwerfen ist, ist das vielleicht eine gute Möglichkeit als Anfänger sich mit dem Programm vertraut zu machen. Erst einmal sollte man natürlich GUS, den Pfefferkuchenmann, modellieren und animieren. Zu finden ist dazu eine Anleitung im Wikibook zu Blender. In naher Zukunft werde ich wahrscheinlich dazu noch ein Video-Tutorial produzieren.</p>
<p>Meine Vision ist es, dem Klassenraum Leben einzuhauchen, natürlich mit den Hauptfiguren der Serie. Es wäre schon cool einen Ort und Figuren zu haben, die man jederzeit benutzen kann und nur noch animieren müsste. So könnte man eine eigene Serie starten <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Hauptproblem ist jedoch momentan das Modellieren der Figuren. Während ein Klassenraum meist aus eher Eckigen Dingen besteht, sieht das bei menschlichen Dingen schon ganz anders aus &#8211; Haare, Kleidung, Nase, einen Mund, den man öffnen und schließen kann, das ist noch eine ganz andere Liga! Und dorthin muss ich als nächstes kommen. Ein Tutorial, in dem ich euch zeige wie ihr einen Stuhl modelliert, gibt es jedenfalls demnächst.</p>
<p>Hier sind nun meine ersten Bilder des Klassenraums in bester HD Qualität, die ihr selbstverständlich auch speichern könnt. Wenn du Tips hast, wie man das ganze noch verbessern könnte, kommentiere bitte den Artikel.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Wine<br />
</strong>2008 Yalumba Y Series Riesling, $15<br />
After a few weeks of some heady tasting material I’m happy to say that Y Series from Yalumba is designed for your more carefree, everyday celebrations. The Riesling is bright with citrus, lime notes, and refreshing acidity.</p>
<p>2008 Jip Jip Chardonnay, $14<br />
There’s been some stirring on Unwooded Chardonnay’s lately and this one has received some spritely recommendations. Having enjoyed the Terra Barossa Eden Chard so much, I have high hopes for this as well.</p>
<p>2008 Thorn Clake Shotfire Shiraz, $18<br />
It’s a been a tough couple of years for the Aussies (heat/drought) and we’ve seen our regular selection shrink as quality has declined. Despite challenges, the Shotfire prevails yet again. I won’t say this is the richest, most jammy Shotfire I’ve had, but the production is well executed and the resulting wine is a fine example of the rich Thorn Clarke style overcoming adversity.</p>
<p><strong>Beer<br />
</strong>Don’t forget we’ll have John Cochran pouring through some Terrapin beers next Wednesday the 19th from 5:30 – 6:30.</p>
<p>The “End of Doom” promotional contest celebrates You and the completion of the “Year of Doom.”</p>
<p>The contest is simple: email me or post on our wall “Why you love shopping at Wine and Beer Westpark.” Each week (Wed- Tues) we’ll pick 4 quotations and post them at the store. Then, from Wed. Aug 26th through Mon. the 31st  when you stop in the store for a regular purchse, vote and receive an instant discount.</p>
<p>1st place will be a $50 gift certificate second place $15 and third $10!</p>
<p>Why you should do this…1) you really do love us. 2) there’s a chance to win a free boozy gift certificate, and honestly, who can afford to pass that up 3) you wouldn’t want us to end the “Year of Doom” with a failed promotion!?! 4) you may not love us, but you’re not afraid to lie creatively for a boozy gift certificate.</p>

The elegantly-designed homes with large yard space and upgraded amenities included as standard, in addition to Lennar’s incredible combination of money-saving offers, presents an ideal opportunity for the homebuyer who seeks excellent value in a highly regarded neighborhood.</p>
<p>Lennar’s four new homes being released in Arbor Grove at Westpark range from approximately 1,463 to 2,452 square feet and start in the high $200,000s. The three and four-bedroom homes come equipped with top-notch amenities such as stainless steel appliances, granite slab kitchen countertops, upgraded Birch cabinetry throughout the home—18”x18” tile in the entry, kitchen and bathrooms— plus beautiful front-yard landscaping.</p>
<p>All Arbor Grove homes are built with a solar electric system designed to offer maximum energy-efficiency. Combining solar electric systems with some of today’s most innovative products and materials, Lennar’s solar homes give buyers a lifetime of value by significantly reducing electricity costs, preserving the environment, and creating energy independence.</p>
<p>Homebuyers can have a brand new, amenity-rich, solar-powered home in an excellent community without the trouble sometimes associated with purchasing a bank-owned home. And with incredible financing through Lennar’s preferred lender, Universal American Mortgage Company of California (UAMC), many homebuyers can enjoy access to the affordable luxury of a Lennar home.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="border:2px solid black;margin:2px 6px;" src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs135.snc1/5768_144233590929_36034145929_3797020_1928476_n.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="154" />“Our Arbor Grove community has been incredibly popular with homebuyers and with its great community location, family-oriented environment and excellent schools, it’s not hard to see why,” said Laura Stickelman, Vice President Sales Manager for Lennar Sacramento. “We’re offering four new homes, each with its own unique floor plan, and giving homebuyers excellence they can depend on.”</p>
<p>Lennar and UAMC of CA have built a reputation for offering exceptional interest rates that many new homebuilders and their lending partners can’t match. In addition, first time homebuyers who haven’t owned a home in the past three years can also apply for a federal tax credit worth up to $8,000, but closing must occur before November 30, 2009 so homebuyers should act quickly.</p>
<p>“The homes released this weekend will be completed by the end of November.  It really is a homebuyer’s last chance to take advantage of all these offers combined: the federal tax credit, UAMC’s competitive financing, and our limited-time offers,” Stickelman said. “We are committed to making high-quality, new-home ownership attainable for everyday homebuyers.”</p>
<p>With 10 communities across the Sacramento area, Lennar offers homebuyers many floor plans to choose from at prices that best meet their needs.  Several homes are now available for immediate move-in, including two homes located in WestPark’s Walkabout community. Both the Rose floor plan on homesite 118 with approximately 2,316 square feet and the Marsanne floor plan on homesite 119 with approximately 2,149 square feet feature four bedrooms, three baths and a three-bay garage. Immediate move-in homes are also available at Kavala Ranch in Rancho Cordova in the Verano and Cazadero communities. The popular Rose plan is available at Verano on homesite 21 and the Aspen floor plan, with approximately 1,749 square feet, three bedrooms and two and one-half baths is available at Cazadero on homesite 111.</p>
<p>Homebuyers are encouraged to tour one of Lennar’s Sacramento solar homes and see why Lennar homes are the measure of excellence. Sales Pavilions are open this weekend from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For a complete list of communities in Sacramento as well as information on the new release and immediate move-in homes, call (866) 417-8471 or visit www.lennarsacramento.com.</p>
<p>Celebrating its 55th anniversary, Lennar has grown to become one of the nation’s leading homebuilders.  With hundreds of Communities nationwide and homes designed for first-time, move-up and luxury homebuyers, Lennar has long distinguished itself by simply including everything as standard under its motto, “Everything You Want, Everything You Need, That’s the Logic of Lennar®.” Equal Housing Opportunity.  UAMC of CA, an equal housing lender, is licensed by the Department of Corporations under the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A Few Notes on Picolit</p>
<p>Our Thursday tasting this week features the wines of Giorgio Colutta as presented by Lauren Tompkins of Grappoli Imports.  The Colutta farm and winery is located in the farthest reaches of northeast Italy, in the rolling hills of the Colli Orientali.  This area is closer to Austria and Germany stylistically than to the rest of Italy, and it’s no surprise that white wine grapes flourish here.  However, the most highly prized white grape in the Colli Orientali, Picolit, produces lightly honeyed, sweet wines, but struggles annually and challenges growers:</p>
<p>-The grape itself is small, but with large pips (seeds).<br />
-The vine is extremely vigorous, requiring time in the vineyard to restrain it.<br />
-Early, sparse flowering, and late ripening combine for a long growing season, and exposure to unwelcome rain and hail.<br />
-Picolit suffers from a genetic mutation that aborts flowers before pollination, resulting in precious few berries per bunch.<br />
-Because of its flowering habits, late ripening and vigor, the vine requires some of the best hillside vineyard sites- those with excellent sun exposure, poor soils, and good ventilation.<br />
-Many producers, including Colutta, dry the grapes to further concentrate sugars (the vine has already done a lot of the work in this respect).</p>
<p>The above challenges present themselves even in the best vintages.  Growing and producing Picolit requires lots of time, attention and resources, and as a result, many producers have abandoned production.  Total production is around 150,000 bottles, most of which are 375 or 500ml.- that’s 12,000 cases, in mostly small bottles!</p>
<p>Join us Thursday for a rare opportunity to try Picolit.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Why call it the Beer Theater? Originally, we planned on having an amphitheater like beer diplay where we could have different beers fight to the death in the center ring of the “Beeriseum.” However, the recent dip in the economy didn’t call for more of an expansion in our malty real estate, so we shelved the idea for the time being.</p>
<p>Enter the spring and our winemaker videos (two of which aren’t even up because of my novice video mistake of shooting sideways) and our burgeoning interest in mulitmedia. As with the winemaker videos I expected to shoot discussions on style, flavor, and quirky stories; perhaps, even include the occasional beer brawl. </p>
<p>I’m sure many people would enjoy us talking about the nuances of lagering versus ales and the specifics of style, but wouldn’t it be better to hear it from the brewers themselves? </p>
<p>This is not a particularly challenging question. Instead, let’s ask what never get’s asked – within the craft world, where is the deeper discussion of beer’s place and purpose? </p>
<p>Consider the legions of beer drinkers who also homebrew, and understand the process intrinsically. Given the opportunity people who are even modestly educated in wine will graduate from taste and flavor profile to food pairing, regional significance, cellaring, stylistic comparisons to other available examples. One has to wonder what’s next?</p>
<p>Certainly there’s a host of culturally significant topics to discuss when we move past beer tastes good… so where’s the discussion? More importantly, how do we find out what’s on the minds of the people who make it?</p>
<p>Now we have an interesting situation. Here, we get to speak to people who make what we love – leaders in the field, in fact. So what will you ask?</p>
<p>While I enjoy the flavor of the “Beeriseum,” pitting ale on ale in a flavor grudge match for supremacy, I think it would be at the cost of a more intriguing and impactful debate – both of which, would make good theater.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I just finished posting our first Vitrual Tasting with X Winery’s Reed Renaudin on our Facebook even]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I just finished posting our first Vitrual Tasting with X Winery’s Reed Renaudin on our Facebook event page; I’m excited and terrified. It’s a great feeling. Monday’s Richmond Times Dispatch article jump started the buzz – thanks Louis! – with new faces from places we’re not used to. In my first four years of ownership I’ve met many new people who undoubtedly ask the “Who are you, Where are you?” questions – so simple, yet this is the essence of our biggest obstacle. Now WBW’s firing back with, “Won’t you join us Friday June 5th to find out?”</p>
<p>We’ve got our prom tux on and we’re hoping our date and the limo will show…</p>
<p>Ironically, or friends and fans who have been with us the whole way, well, I think they’ve just been waiting for a day like this to happen. We don’t pretend to know everyting about wine and beer, but we strive to add inviting and entertaining nuances to your wine and beer experiences. We’ve got ideas and information and emotion that we’re trying to stuff into the precious few minutes we’ve captured your attention.</p>
<p>We’re going to keep pushing and finding new ways to enrich your experience beyond bringing you fresh ales and hot wines. And, guess what, we’re learning all the time too. If you’re just getting started with finer libations, you’re not too late to join us…</p>
<p>After all, you can buy wine and beer from just about anywhere – the thing is, that’s not <em>just</em> what we’re selling.</p>
<p>So this is Wine and Beer Westpark, and here’s my personal invitation to join us at perhaps your first, but our biggest event. June 5th at 5 pm.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />
Matt Lake</p>
<p>If you’re using Facebook, let us know if you plan on attending the event. I’ve also created a a new topic on the Discussion Board to find out what questions you would like Reed to answer, and I encourage you to begin your participation now.</p>
