Dear Wine Friend,   This last year I have participated on the advisory board for the International Restaurant & Hotel Awards. The premiere gala awards ceremony and dinner will be held this Sunday, November 16th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.  All the details may be found at at www.irhawards.com/index.php   Unfortunately, circumstances now prevent Renee and me from being able to attend.  I also have a pass for the "Taste of IRHA", the following day.  Please contact me by email if you would be able to attend this event.  I will draw a name Thursday, and send the two "Premier" tickets (worth $250 each), and the pass to you by registered mail.          I will keep this short and sweet!  For those of you who were lucky enough to obtain bottles of the 2005 Ulises Valdez Lancel Creek Reserve Zinfandel from me last Fall....if you act quickly, you can reload with the just released 2006 vintage.....ANOTHER STUNNER!  Only about a 100 cases are produced annually from this 2 acre parcel of red dirt nestled in the midst of a Pinot Noir vineyard situated along a ridge line near Occidental in the Russian River Valley.  Managed by the rags-to-riches Ulises Valdez, this is another vineyard planted with his signature clone from old vine St. Peter's Church Zinfandel....the very same clone propagated to plant the famed Rockpile Vineyard in Sonoma.  Ulises has once again commissioned Jeff Cohen, former winemaker at Rosenblum, and owner of JC Cellars, to safeguard this terroir driven wine.    Tasting notes are very consistent with the two prior vintages.  High alcohol has never marred the senses, and the vanillin infused blackberry fruit is again deep and vibrant from the balancing bright acidity created from the cooler maritime influence.    For more information >  www.thewineconsultant.com/newsletter/328           SAME PRICE AS LAST VINTAGE AT $35.95, BUT JUST PURCHASE 3 BOTTLES OR MORE TO RECEIVE MY STANDARD 12% CASE DISCOUNT > $31.64 A BOTTLE!   AVAILABLE TO TASTE THIS SATURDAY AT THE TASTING BAR!      06 VALDEZ FAMILY WINES ZINFANDEL - LANCEL CREEK RESERVE - RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, SONOMA ONLY 100 CASES PRODUCED ANNUALLY!   St. Peter's Church Clone   Jeff Cohen Winemaker    TWC Price: $35.95   Purchase 3 bottles: $31.64   AVAILABLE TO SAMPLE THIS SATURDAY!
