		<description><![CDATA[As the darling of the wine world, many critics set their bar at the iconic region of Bordeaux. Likewise, since a vast majority of northern California vineyards grafted their vine clippings from Bordeaux and claim to have a parallel climate and growing region, California wine houses have historically taken home the gold medal in wine ranking publications. These wines are typically exuding very ripe and high alcohol infused fruit due to hotter temperatures, dehydrating tannins from grape skin contact and barrel usage and vanilla from sweet oak aging. Stereotypes of California juice receiving substantial nods from wine writers have set a standard for aspiring grape crushers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I should have liked this wine right off the bat when researching the label - their homepage on their Web site looks like a trailer for LOST which usually equals excellence to an epically cultish proportion. Unfortunately, this wine didn’t start out with a bang (or a plane trash, for that matter), it actually started out in doldrums, dragging its feet in a lazy, “I’m Bordeaux and I know it” fashion.]]></description>

Seeing no oak, spending its days aging in steel vats for nine months, the Lavignone was exactly what I was searching for to quench my thirst.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Judgment from the townsfolk and banishment by his wife led James to a disappearance that lasted nearly 50 years and took his family to Walla Walla. James was a mystery and presumed dead to his sons and grandchildren until his grandson, Steve, was able to locate him on the Oregon coast and reunite the family. Passing on at the ripe age of 101, James was able to see his family relationships replenish and establish a valid redemption, leaving a positive legacy in his name.

The motive for James' actions are still unknown, however, Steve deemed his grandfather enough of a rebel hero to slap his silhouette on his label for Otis Kenyon Wines.]]></description>
