MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/26/14 -- Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG) (NASDAQ: GENE) is pleased to announce that the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina last week issued an Order denying a motion brought by GlaxoSmithKline, LLC (GSK) to dismiss the patent infringement law suit brought against it by GTG.
This action was initially brought by GTG against GSK in 2011, in the District Court of Colorado, but was then moved at the request of GSK to the District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. Thereafter, both sides filed motions in support of their different legal perspectives. Most recently on June 27, 2014, GSK moved to have GTG's Second Amended Complaint dismissed, arguing the relevant GTG patent covers natural phenomena or laws of nature that are not entitled to patent protection, and that the Court should therefore dismiss the action. On August 22, 2014, the Court issued an Order denying GSK's motion to dismiss.
This significant success follows the separate success reported on March 12, 2014, when a similar motion to dismiss filed by Agilent in the Northern District of California was also denied.
GTG's Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Alison Mew stated, "With this success in removing another potential reason delaying negotiations, we are keen to renew settlement discussions."

Lori's home in Portland is fantastically cozy and comfortable! Everything a guest could possibly need is at hand and on the off chance that something is not readily available, Lori is more than happy to help you out. The room and bathroom were both immaculate when we arrived and we had all of the toiletries we needed for our stay and a bevy of local guides and maps so we could figure out what to do during our stay. The icing on the cake is definitely Podji, who is the friendliest dog in the world and could never have enough attention and tummy rubs, of which we were happy to provide.
On our trip along the cost, we had an amazing time at Lori's house thanks to her absolutely beautiful place offering us a lot of space and privacy. Everything was perfectly clean and very comfy and welcoming and we slept very well. Lori gave us excellent instructions on how to get to her house and how to enter it while she was hiking. The neighbourhood is rather quite, but even by using public transport you get easily to all the popular ones in Portland. Lori left us recommendations on what to do and where to eat. We would definitely stay here again an recommend it to everyone while in Portland.
Lori left excellent and detailed instructions on the layout of her home. When we arrived we were thrilled to see the space and privacy that was available. The bed was excellent and the house was immaculate. It was only a short drive to all the popular neighbourhoods in Portland. We would definitely stay here again.
This was a wonderful stay! Lori is a most gracious host and we felt very welcome in this lovely home.
The house is SUPER clean and roomy. We had all the privacy we could ask for and had the benefit of hanging with Podji who is the sweetest dog!
The location is a short walk from a beautiful park to stroll in and a short drive from everything Portland has to offer. We couldn't be more thrilled with our introduction to Portland.
Staying with Lori and Podji is like scoring a hat trick! You score on three levels: 1) The Space- An amazing space that is HUGE and feels like an entire private apartment, not just a private room. The living room has super comfy couches to spread out on and with a giant flat screen TV and surround sound system, it was great for watching all of our favorite sports. Beautiful fenced in yard for the dogs and hanging out in the sun. Extremely clean, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. 2)The Location-Just a short 10 minute drive to Hawthorne district. Super convenient to 205 freeway to get to the Gorge, MAX line train station to airport or downtown within a mile, plenty of shops and eateries within walking distance, and easy parking (no circling around and around like near Hawthorne). A park with tennis courts and playground was also within walking distance. 3) The Hosts- Lori is a superb host and very conscientious and friendly. Fast responses to emails, well organized, and really helpful with tour guide tips for food and hiking suggestions. Podji is super sweet, huggable, and wants for you to be part of the family and feel at home.
Overall, staying with Lori and Podji is like having a home away from home, and seeing a long lost friend. Would highly recommend staying here to friends and family and we hope to be back again soon!
Lori and Podji hosted my mom and it was a total, complete, utter success. I cannot say enough about these two - I highly recommend their home.
My wife stayed here on her own and this is her review: I cannot say enough nice things about my stay at Lori's home. What a beautiful place. She was super nice from the start of my stay through the very end. Everything was perfect...super clean and inviting. I was very comfortable with the all the amenities... started to feel like home. And what a sweet dog Podji was. Very friendly and fun to play with. I would highly recommend her place to my family and friends. And I will definitely be staying with her again in the near future. Thank you Lori for a very pleasant stay!
About the Host, Lori 'N Podji
I purchased this amazing house the summer of 2012. It is a fabulous home and I am so excited to open it up to AirBnB friends. Hosting comes naturally as I have had many friends and family over. Now I want to meet new folks from across the river to across the country and beyond!
I enjoy traveling and prefer to stay with locals in my quest for adventures. I feel renting a room is a key way to keep the cost of traveling/ living abroad low, raise your level of security, have the amenities that allow you to live more self-sufficient and conveniently, have more personal privacy, all while becoming more embedded within the local community that you are visiting.
Lori is an avid hiker and has stood on the top of the highest peaks in the Pacific Northwest. She just recently completed hiking all 148 hikes in the Douglas Lorain Afoot & Afield hiking book. She is currently section hiking the Pacific Crest Trail thru Oregon and has close to 325 miles tromped off. Lori has hiked most of the Columbia Gorge trails and a majority of the hikes in and around Mt. Hood. She would love to show you a map of the hiking areas with every hike highlighted that she tromped.
Lori is an administrator at the middle school level. She is a recovering Physical Education/Health teacher of 13 years before moving up to administration. She absolutely loves her job and is excited to wake up every day knowing she is doing exactly what she is suppose to do.
I invite you to stay and enjoy Portland and Oregon and all it has to offer.

Writer and editor
United States - Last active: 2 days ago - Portfolio: 4
Versatile writer and editor. Writing is my first love and something I have a natural aptitude for, though I am always working on improving my craft and honing my skills. I truly enjoy helping people find the best way to tell their stories, whether it's as a ghostwriter or an editor. My ghostwriting projects have included novels, short story collections, book-length nonfiction, articles, and educational reading passages. I love the challenge of taking someone else's ideas and crafting them into a compelling and readable narrative. I am firmly committed to providing affordable and quality editing services. Writing a book is such a big achievement, yet for many people (myself included!) it is only the beginning on the road to publication. It is often difficult to clearly "see" your own work after a while, which is when the help of a seasoned editor will be indispensable. I've done everything from deep line editing to proofreading and am a voracious reader, an intuitive editor, and a meticulous proofreader. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to put their best work out there.

PC Power & Cooling power supplies are renowned for their quality, and our tests suggest that reputation is still well-deserved even after OCZ's purchase of the PSU maker a little less than a year ago. However, PC Power & Cooling's offerings typically aren't cheap, and the company doesn't make much of an effort to reach out to folks with shallower pockets (unless you count the firm's Dell upgrade PSUs).
Today, PC Power & Cooling is changing direction somewhat with the introduction of three new Silencer-series power supplies that have power ratings of only 370W, 420W, and 500W. All three units have 80 Plus certification, and they're rated for power efficiency of 82% with 0.99 power factor correction. The 370W and 420W models have 10 drive connectors, and the 500W part is outfitted with 13 connectors, including six for Serial ATA drives. Like their pricier cousins (and unlike most units out today) the three new PSUs also have single 12V rails.
PC Power & Cooling already has product pages on its online store for the new 370W, 420W, and 500W Silencer models, but the units are out of stock and no prices are displayed. According to those pages, the units are all covered with five-year warranties. That's not quite as impressive as the seven-year warranties PC Power & Cooling offers on some of its high-end models, but it's still at least a couple of years longer than what's provided by most mainstream PSU makers.

Embracing the alcohol of Paso red blends, and a word about that Benziger deal
For the past half-year, I've been hosting a series of wine tastings up at Jackson Family Wines headquarters, just outside Santa Rosa. So far, they've included both JFW and non-JFW wines, but the next one is strictly non-JFW. It's a tasting of high-end Paso Robles Rhône-style blends (JFW currently owns no Paso Robles wineries), and I'm getting excited even before I pop a single cork.
Here's the lineup so far:
- Saxum 2012 Heart Stone
- L'Aventure 2013 Cote de Cote
- Tablas Creek 2012 Esprit de Tablas
- Law 2011Sagacious
- Linne Calodo 2013 Sticks & Stones
- Jada 2012 Hell's Kitchen
- ONX 2012 Crux
I'm also trying to get a bottle of PharoahMoans 2012, and maybe one or two others.
These are all expensive wines, among the priciest in California outside Napa Valley. The most expensive is the Saxum. I've written before about Justin Smith's amazing story: how he started this little winery that zoomed straight to the top. (If there are more expensive wines in Paso Robles, I don't know what they are.) I'm not sure how Justin got there; probably he isn't either, and has been pleasantly surprised by his success. I think my reviews helped, as did the chapter I gave him in my 2008 book, "New Classic Winemakers of California."
I liked Justin's wines from the moment I first tasted them (I gave them lots of 95s and 94s), but I realize these are not wines for the In Pursuit of Balance crowd. The alcohol on them can be very high. But then, the same can be said of many of these Paso Robles blends. The grapes get ripe, sometimes super-mature under that hot Paso sunshine, even in the Templeton Gap where things are supposedly cooler. Well, I drove right through the Templeton Gap yesterday during the hottest part of the afternoon, and yes, the temperature did fall from 92 just north of Paso Robles to 87-88 at Templeton, evidence that there really is a cooling influence that makes it in from the coast. Still, the Templeton Gap area is still pretty warm.
It would be a shame to dismiss these big, hearty Paso Robles red wines simply because of the alcohol level. They're really world class. I'm excited about this tasting and will report on it here.

I asked my Facebook friends yesterday what I should blog about today and a lot of them said "Benziger." I don't have a super-strong view of the sale to The Wine Group, except for a couple thoughts. Number one, I like the Benziger clan and especially Mike, who was very kind to me when I was coming up as a wine writer. The family worked hard to establish both the Benziger brand and Imagery, and the wines from both were very good. The family did what they felt was in their best interests, at a time competition is fierce and Benziger was doing battle with brands from all over the world. I don't know what The Wine Group will do with the brands—whether they'll maintain them, elevate them or crush them into the ground. (By way of contrast, had Jackson Family Wines bought them, I'm confident the Jackson family would have elevated them.) Hopefully, The Wine Group will elevate them, although I do have some concerns that The Wine Group is not necessarily associated with the top quality tier. (Here's a list of their brands.) Perhaps with this acquisition, The Wine Group is trying to go upscale and improve that image. If so, kudos to them.

Miss Sherry asked on Facebook for me to blog about Gus because she likes him a lot. So, Miss Sherry, here he is, relaxing on my queen bed at the lovely Santa Maria Radisson. We're here for a couple days to hang out at Cambria and Byron.
My remarks at the Cabernet Academy: Part 2
Here's the second part of my remarks last week, at Stonestreet:
I've spoken of varietal flavor and tannin structure, but obviously there's more to wine than just those two factors. Next, I want to take up the topics of acidity and minerality.
Acidity in Cabernet, as in all table wines, is a key to providing life, zest and a keen mouthfeel. My favorite way of explaining the role of acidity is to revert to a tale from my youth. When I was a kid in the Bronx, we had "soda fountains." If you wanted cola, the soda "jerk" didn't open a bottle, he mixed it up right in front of you. First he'd squirt the cola syrup into a soda glass. If you tasted the syrup by itself, it was, well, syrupy. It was sweet and tasted like cola, but somehow had no pizzazz, no zest; it was flat and insipid. Then the soda jerk would squirt a little carbonated water into the glass, and voila. The carbonation added acidity, showing how important it is to balance fruity sweetness with tartness. If we recall that mountain vineyards are cooler during the daytime than valley floor vineyards, we can appreciate that mountain wines also are generally more balanced with acidity.
Then there's minerality. I dare to venture into these tall weeds only because minerality has been a subject of intense discussion lately. I don't claim to be able to define minerality, or to pinpoint exactly where it comes from. But since we all talk about it – and we all seem to think that we know what we mean when we use the word – I will assume that you, too, are familiar with minerality.
Let me just say that minerality is something that I do find in wines, both red and white. And I find it more in mountain, bench and hillside wines than in valley floor wines. One theory is that mountain grapevines, being parched for water, send their roots more deeply into the ground than do valley floor vines, where the water table is higher. As those roots dig deep into the earth, they encounter more and different minerals than are present near the surface. The supposition is that the roots take up the flavors of these minerals and transmit them to the grapes. As I say, I've never seen absolute proof of this, but it sounds right, and certainly, my wine reviews over many years substantiate the theory. Minerality gives wine additional structure. It's not a taste, exactly, but a sensation, like the feeling of touching steel with your tongue. And I always find this minerality in mountain Cabs from both Napa and Alexander Valley.
For example, I once reviewed the Vineyard 7 & 8 Cabernet, from the 2008 vintage. I gave it a generous 96 points and wrote that "It startles for the intensity of mountain blackberries and raspberries, and then a firm minerality kicks in, along with the tannins, providing grounding structure." This is to cite but a single example: I could come up with hundreds of others. Vineyard 7&8 is located about 2,000 feet up on Spring Mountain, which is on the Napa side of the Mayacamas range, about the same alltitude as the Stonestreet Cabs grown on the Alexander Valley side of the Mayacamas. This language of "intense," "firm minerality," "tannic," and "grounding structure," can in fact be applied to any great Mayacamas Cabernet, from either Alexander Valley or Napa Valley. They describe the terroir signature of Mayacamas Cabernet.
However, one of the chief differences – perhaps THE chief distinction – between Alexander Valley and Napa Valley Cabernet is the tannins. In 2003, when I was writing my first book, A Wine Journey along the Russian River, I asked Jordan's winemaker, Rob Davis, to set up a blind tasting of Cabs from both Alexander Valley and Napa Valley. From Alexander Valley we had Jordan, Simi Reserve, Silver Oak, Alexander Valley Vineyards Cyrus, Stonestreet Christopher's Vineyard and Robert Young Scion. From Napa Valley we had Phelps Insignia, Chateau Montelena, Quintessa and Far Niente. When the brown bags were taken off the bottles, it was clear to all of us that the chief difference was the quality of the tannins.
How to describe that difference? Alexander Valley tannins are dustier and softer than in Napa. They're more fine-grained, but they're also a little more chewy, not as ripe as in Napa Valley. It's something you can feel in the mouth. I think in the past Alexander Valley tannins used to be clunkier than Napa's, which is part of the reason why Alexander Valley earned a reputation as more rustic than Napa. But a modern Alexander Valley Cabernet is not a rustic wine.
If I had to describe these Alexander Valley tannins in a single phrase, I'd call them more astringent than in Napa Valley. But this description requires fine-tuning on my part. To begin with, Napa Cabernet is frequently a very tannic wine – more tannic than Bordeaux. But Napa tannins are so lush, finely-ground and smooth that most of the wines, even the mountain Cabs, can be enjoyed in youth. Alexander Valley mountain Cabs by contrast are tougher in youth, and probably more ageable. This is because of the cooler conditions in Alexander Valley, especially in the mountains. A good example is another wine I reviewed, Stonestreet 2007 Monument Ridge Cabernet, which comes from the winery's Stonestreet Estate Vineyard. I scored it at 96 points and want to read my entire review, because it's instructive:
"A dramatic wine, authoritative in tannins, bone dry and noble. Withholds its best under a cloak of astringency, but already shows its mountain terroir in the complexity of its structure and deep, intense blackberry, currant, blueberry and dried herb flavors. Should develop bottle complexities for at least a decade and probably longer."
Let's break this down. I referred to the "cloak of astringency." This is, of course, the tannins. Winemakers on the Alexander Valley side of the Mayacamas will tell you that tannin management is their most formidable challenge. Fortunately, they've achieved a variety of ways to manage those tannins, but still, tannic intensity is often the first thing you notice about these Cabernets, or maybe the second thing – after the initial fruity intensity, the astringency kicks in.
I spoke, too, of "dried herbs." This herbaceousness, in addition to the tannins, is a key differentiator between Cabs from Napa and Alexander Valley. The upper stretches of the Mayacamas on the Alexander Valley side are sparse in plant life, and only the hardiest, most drought-resistant things can grow up there. This is high Chaparrel country: Manzanita, live oak, Bay laurel, pepperwood, madrone, shrubby, scraggly bushes, lichens, anise weed, native grasses. These plants dry out in our summer droughts, scenting the air with spicy fragrance but also lending that herbaecousness to the wines. You don't get this herbaceousness in Napa Valley side of the Mayacamas, the slopes above the Oakville and Rutherford benches. Those slopes are densely forested in redwood and pine because whatever water remains in storm clouds as they enter Napa from the west are wrung out by the Mayacamas peaks. They drop considerable amounts of rain on these Napa slopes before drying out as they pass eastward across the Napa Valley floor. This is why the Vaca Mountains are so barren and austere. In this, they're similar to the west-facing slopes of the Mayacamas in Alexander Valley. Both sides are dry, and both get the full heat of the afternoon sun. Yet the Vacas, around Dalla Valle and Tierra Roja, are hotter, the soils are redder, and the wines are riper than anything in Alexander Valley.
So, overall, Alexander Valley Cabs tend to be drier, more elegantly structured and more ageable than Napa Valley Cabs, which are more dramatic and flashy. I think, also, that Alexander Valley Cabs are lower in alcohol, on average. I went over a great many of my reviews of both over the years, and this seems to be the case—although we know that the alcohol number on the label can be misleading.
Now, I want to move away from the inherent, objective qualities of the wines to considerations of perception and optics. We read much in the media that California Cabernet (as well as Pinot Noir) is undergoing a stylistic change, perhaps under pressure from the In Pursuit of Balance people. This new style is towards wines of lower alcohol and greater elegance. I don't think there's strong evidence of this stylistic shift in Napa Valley Cabernet, except with certain well-known examples such as Corison; nor is there any particular reason why Napa winemakers should change their style. Napa Cabernet isn't broken: Why should they fix it? Parker established the template of ripe, rich, decadence, and Napans have no motive to switch horses.
Alexander Valley Cabernet, by contrast, is not well understood by the public, or by tastemakers, such as sommeliers and merchants. It's so easy for people to understand Napa Cabernet. Everybody knows what it means: lush, New World deliciousness. With Sonoma, people have to do more work to understand it. Sonoma is complicated – it has all these little nooks and crannies, and the various sub-appellations can seem like a hodge-podge. Here's a quote from a famous east coast wine critic; he wrote this in his column:
So who cares about Sonoma cabernet? Why, our wine panel! Contrarians by nature, we seek out the scorned and the ignored among regions and wines in hopes of finding surprising pleasures and fine values. This critic was being facetious, or so he thought; but in fact his words reveal a certain attitude towards Sonoma Cabernet that is widespread among tastemakers, if somewhat unconscious. This is at the root, I think, of why some gatekeepers who taste Sonoma Cabernet (which is usually Alexander Valley Cabernet) contrast it unfavorably with Napa Cabernet. They bring that attitude to the winetasting experience, and, behold, they experience what they thought they would. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In the end, I think that Alexander Valley Cabernet does offer an alternative to Napa Valley Cabernet—but only if its winemakers understand that their terroir is distinctive, and they don't try to replicate Napa Valley. And I say these things not because I work for Jackson Family Wines and we're at Stonestreet. After all, Jackson Family Wines also owns such Napa wineries as La Jota, Lokoya, Mt. Brave, Freemark Abbey and Cardinale. I am hopeful that the new direction in California wine that is being suggested in so many quarters is real, and that we can end decades of marching towards a sameness of style to enter into a new period of authentic, terroir-based wine.
Alexander Valley and Napa Valley Cabernet: My remarks at the Cabernet Academy
I gave a little talk yesterday to a group of wine buyers yesterday at Stonestreet, as part of Taste Alexander Valley. I'm posting my remarks in two parts, because it's rather longish. Here's part 1.
I've been asked to talk about Napa Valley and Alexander Valley and how Cabernet Sauvignon from those two areas differs. But first, a disclaimer: As some of you may know from my writings, especially on my blog, I've argued for many years that these supposed regional differences between varieties are not as pronounced nor as concise as some wine writers portray them. After all, these both are large appellations: Alexander Valley is 66,000 acres, while Napa Valley is six times bigger, at 400,000 acres. Pauillac, by contrast – the Bordeaux commune – is only 3,000 acres.
Moreover, both Alexander and Napa are marked by mountain ranges that contain incredibly complex soils, all jumbled up by the San Andreas Fault System: my old friend, the wine writer Bob Thompson, once called them "a slagheap." So we can see that the terroir in Napa and Alexander Valley is not easy to define. Add to that stylistic differences in winemaking techniques—from harvesting decisions to fermentation and oak — and it's clear that defining regional characteristics is tricky, at best. It's easy to discern a regional style when you already have a preconception of what it is, and you're not tasting blind. However, after tasting well more than 100,000 wines, most of them blind, during my career, I can tell you that it doesn't always work that way. Our very notion of regional styles in Cabernet Sauvignon was, in fact, a product of Bordeaux, where it used to be easy to state (as Oz Clark did) that Pauillac is "intense blackcurrant fruit with heady cedar and pencil-lead shavings" while Margaux is "rarely heavy and has a divine perfume." Yet even the great Alexis Lichine wrote, of Pauillac, that "the wines do not possess much generic similarity." And nowadays, a riper winemaking style, coupled with global warming, has clearly leveled the playing field between the Bordeaux communes, and the same is true here in California.
Well, that was my disclaimer: Having said that, there are distinctions to be made between Alexander Valley and Napa Valley. So let's explore them.
Here at Stonestreet, we are now, as I'm sure you know, in the heart of Alexander Valley. The mountains to the east (which most non-Californians would call "hills") are the Mayacamas, which rise to 4,700 feet, although most of the vineyards are below 2,700 feet. On the other side of the Mayacamas is Lake County and Napa Valley.
The legal A.V.A. here is Alexander Valley, which is silly, since there are so many mountain vineyards. There have been attempts in the past to appellate the mountains themselves, but so far these attempts have not been successful.
Historically, Cabernet Sauvignon in Alexander Valley has been grown on the valley floor, mostly in the southern part, along Route 128, on either side of the Russian River. SHOW MAP In the 1980s, vineyards began to creep up into the eastern hills, as wine prices rose and wineries could afford to develop these vineyards, which involve high set-up costs. In Napa Valley, mountain vineyards were installed earlier than in Alexander Valley, mainly because the money was there.
Alexander Valley and Napa Valley thus are two classic California coastal valleys, parallel to each other. They both run in a southeast-northwest orientation. Both would be far warmer than they are were it not for the influence of maritime air, which comes in from the Pacific and from San Francisco Bay, neither of which ever warms up much beyond 60 degrees even in high summer. Napa Valley gets fogs and winds from Carneros and also from gaps in the Mayacamas, such as one near Calistoga. Alexander Valley gets its maritime air from the Russian River Valley to the south, from the river itself, and also through gaps in the coastal hills, including the Petaluma Gap. Both valleys grow progressively warmer as you move towards the northwest: Cloverdale is Alexander Valley's hotspot, while Calistoga is Napa Valley's.
But elevation plays a crucial role in temperature. With every hundred feet of altitude, you lose about one degree on a summer day. On the other hand, due to a temperature inversion, it's not as chilly in the mountains at night as it is on the valley floor, which is affected by radiational cooling. Mountains, then, are more consistently moderate places to grow grapes. Above 1,000 feet or so, they also are usually above the fogline.
Soils also change with altitude. The lower in elevation you are, the more granular the soil gets. The valley floor is largely the product of sedimentary runoff from the hills and flooding from the Russian and Napa Rivers. The soils are deeper, richer and more fertile, which is why both valleys used to grow things like plums and nuts. The higher up you go, the drier and poorer the soils are. Whatever rainfall does fall runs off almost instantly to the valley below, leaching out elemental nutrients, both organic and inorganic. These soils can barely hold humidity. The grapevines thus have to struggle to survive. We're all familiar with this phrase, and we all understand that struggling vines produce more concentrated, interesting fruit than well-nourished and well-irrigated ones.
So is there a difference between Cabernet grown in Alexander Valley and Napa Valley? Yes, in general. Napa Valley is one mountain range further inland than Alexander Valley, so it's a bit warmer. Thus, you'd expect Napa Cabernet to be a little riper than Alexander Valley Cab, and that has in fact been my experience. In general – on average — Alexander Valley Cab is slightly more herbaceous than Napa Cab.
But terroir – understood as the combination of physical factors such as climate and soil – is only a part of why wine tastes the way it does. The other part is the human factor – what the great French enologist, Emile Peynaud, calls Cru. When you add human activity to terroir, you end up with Cru. I would argue that the human factor in Napa Valley plays a more important role than it does in Alexander Valley. For example, the modern tendency is to let Cabs get ultra-ripe, in the Parker style. This has particular relevance in Napa Valley, Parker's Happy Hunting Ground for Cabernet Sauvignon; since the 1980s, as we all know, Napa Cabs have been getting riper, as the wineries chase those high Parker scores.
This phenomenon is less true in Alexander Valley. Vintners just don't feel the same pressure – from critics or consumers – to make big, lush, ripe, splashy, extracted Cabernets. Therefore, in a very real sense, Alexander Valley Cabernet is more of a wine of terroir than Napa Valley Cabernet. This statement is, I realize, controversial. We've all heard much of a new direction in California wine that's less ripe and supposedly more "elegant" and "balanced." I would suggest that this new style is not so new in Alexander Valley. I'll return to this topic later.
* * *
Let's focus in more closely on Alexander Valley. The most celebrated Cabernets, for the most part (certainly the most expensive ones) are grown on the foothills, slopes, benches and mountains of the eastern side of the valley, which is the western face of the Mayacamas. There is, as I said, a lot of Cab planted down on the valley floor These are the wines that established Alexander Valley's reputation – along with Zinfandel. But I think it's fair to say that the Cabernets that have raised Alexander Valley's profile are those from the higher elevations.
In fact, for the most expensive Cabs, we have to turn to altitude — and in some cases, quite a bit of altitude. In addition to the temperature distinctions I referred to earlier, there's also more intense solar radiation in mountains. We tend to overlook solar radiation in discussions of terroir, possibly because our notion of Cabernet terroir was formed from Bordeaux, where elevation plays almost no role.
The role of solar radiation on grapes is only partially understood. High-altitude grape skins are thicker, in part because the fruit tries to protect itself from intense sunlight. This, along with the poor, dry soil, makes mountain grapes more tannic. Research suggests that these mountain tannins are qualitatively different from the tannins of valley floor grapes. They're softer and rounder, giving the wines plenty of structure, yet they also possess a suppleness that makes them appealing even in youth.
There's also evidence that, at high altitudes, the sun's UV rays are better able to penetrate the skins of the grapes despite their thickness. This has an obvious implication for the pips, which are more easily ripened.
Elevation also allows grapes to more easily achieve a balance of sugar ripeness and the expression of varietal character. In wine, we often speak of "sweet spots," and this concept applies to mountain vineyards. Too low down, and sugar accumulation may outpace the full expression of varietal flavor. Too high up, and the temperature is too cool, leading to sharp, green wines. In the Mayacamas, the sweet spot seems to be between 400 and about 2,400 feet.
Those darned tricky wine conversations
I'm back from our big Southern California trip, where we attended Leo's bar mitzvah. After the formal ceremony, we had dinner at an Italian restaurant, where we had some decent wines—one Sangiovese, one Pinot Grigio, both Italian.
Now, one of the guests, whom I'd never met, is apparently a wine aficienado, and had brought a few bottles of something "special," one of which made its way to my table. I tasted; didn't particularly like it. It was an Amarone, and possibly it was just too young. It was a wine I'd call "rude," although I realize that's an obsolete term. (The guy sitting next to me, a family member who knows a little about wine, thought it "heavy.") Somehow, my judgment of the wine came back to the attention of the guest who brought it. He cornered me and said, "I hear you didn't like my wine."
Oi. Now, this happens quite often to us wine critics. We're seen as wizards who know everything about wine. Our opinions are highly sought after. And when someone, like the guest, brings a wine he prizes and the resident critic doesn't care for, this can be a flashpoint. Suddenly, we had a clash of wills: the guest defending his wine, and me, put on the spot by what seemed like an uncharitable attitude.
This isn't a situation I'd either sought or relished. My inclination was to smile and excuse myself. I have never liked being the wine expert in these social settings. I mean, a bar mitzvah? I'd rather talk about anything else than be the resident snob. But here I was, challenged. The guy whipped out his cell phone and showed me pictures of his recent visit to Amarone, with the dessicated grapes and all that. He was obviously very proud of the wine and somewhat hurt that "the wine expert" didn't like it.
Well, I was hurt by his hurt. I felt some responsibility to reassure him that (a) although the wine wasn't to my liking, (b) that didn't mean it wasn't very good. And so I pointed that out to him. And I added that, very possibly, the Amarone was simply too young for be properly enjoyed now. I think it was that statement that finally settled the matter. I hadn't exactly rejected his wine completely; I'd simply said it was too young. That got him off the hook, and me too, and so we were able to bypass this tricky impasse and get on to other, more enjoyable topics.
Anyhow, we just made it back from L.A. It took an epic eight hours on the 101!!! Mother's Day and all that. The P.C.H. was jammed with beach traffic on the first warm, sunny day after nearly a week of gloom and rain. Then it was a solid hour to get from Salinas to Gilroy. We were catatonic when we got home. I just had a glass of Manzanilla, a wine I've always loved, and the awfulness of our drive is swiftly receding. They say that Manzanllla always has a salty tang of the sea, and this one indeed does have a brininess that brings to mind an Islay Scotch. Too bad more Americans don't love Sherry, but that helps keep the prices modest for those of us who do.
Greetings from the Central Coast!
We decided to stop for the night at Pismo Beach for a little R&R before heading down tomorrow to L.A. I took some pictures along the way to share.
How Pismo has grown in the 30 years since I've been coming through these parts! It's turning into a major little city on the Central Coast, populated, I'm told, mostly by retirees and the service-industry people who cater to their needs. Here's a view from my hotel balcony:
Although the day was cool and sunny, the fog was blowing in towards sunset, as it usually does. Just down the freeway, by the way, is the little town of Arroyo Grande, and adjacent to it is the fine valley appellation of the same name. Next to that, in turn, is the Edna Valley AVA. Both are upscale growing regions, not as well known as their sister coastal appellations, and thus the wines aren't as expensive, which makes them, on average, better values.
Along the way to Pismo, we stopped in the coastal town of Cayucos, where I'd never been. It's much like other small California coastal towns—Cambria, Pacifica—an old fishing town, now trying to go glitzy and glam, with wine bars, restaurants and antique shops. Here's a picture Maxine took of me and Gus:
If I lived in Cayucos (and real estate is super-expensive down here), I'd probably be hanging out in this joint every night:
One of the shops has an old cigar shop Indian, so I took this selfie:
Then it was a little further down the coast, to Morro Bay & "the rock." Here it is from the dunes on the edge of town (located, unfortunately, next to a hazardous materials treatment plant):
And here it is from the bayside part of town, still a fishing village:
These rather phallic things are also in Morro Bay. I think they're part of a PG&E plant, maybe not. Gus wanted to smell them but I wouldn't let him.
On the way to dinner and a well-deserved cocktail, I saw the shore birds hunkering down against a cold, windy night on the PCH by gathering closer:
It was really cloudy and foggy but as the sun sank it did cast a silver glow on Morrow Bay:
Then it was time for Gus's last walk of the evening. He'd had a long day in the SUV and was very good and patient. He had a lot of fun sniffing the grounds of our pet-friendly hotel.
Then it was composing this post, and off to bed for the next round of our trip: four days of family in L.A. Which sounds rather like the title of a country music song.
The simple pleasures
The cousins, Gus and I are driving down to L.A. this morning for five days of family fun, centered around a bar mitzvah. We didn't want to make anything elaborate for dinner, so opted for burgers on the grill. I'd been given this bottle of Kendall-Jackson 2006 Napa Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, from Mount Veeder,
as a welcome gift when I joined Jackson Family Wines in March, 2014, so it seemed appropriate to drink it on this occasion. With the salad, we had the Paco & Lola Albarino
I liked so much last year when I first encountered it.
I made the burgers, with store-bought organic, grass-fed beef.
I mixed in a little salt, pepper and garlic powder, plus a bit of Dijon mustard, then Keith grilled 'em up nice and rare. For the buns, I like an English muffin, in this case sourdough. Some horseradish-infused mayo, backyard-grown romaine, thinly-sliced red onion, home-grown tomatoes and avocado, and of course some melted cheddar, and voila.
We had a nice Caesar salad
and the acidity on the Paco & Lola stood up well to the anchovies.
Meanwhile, the cork on the Cab had broken halfway while I was pulling it, and then the bottom half plunged into the bottle, so I had to resort to a coffee filter and a mason jar to strain it. (Necessity, the mom of invention.)
But the result—sort of an inadvertent double-decant—was glorious. At 8-1/2 years of age, this Mount Veeder Cab was everything you'd want a mountain Cab to be, and with years ahead of it. Melted tannins, gobs of Veeder blackberries, cherries and chocolate, fine acidity, a glorious, delicious wine.
I entitled this post "the simple pleasures" because in truth I think that most reports of wine-and-food pairing tend towards fine restaurants or expensive foods. But that's not the way we drink and eat most of the time, is it? It's not the way I do. You don't need to be in a white-tablecloth restaurant paying a fortune to enjoy great wine and food. Our hamburgers would have been a treat anyway for a non-beef eater like me, but having such a nice wine uplifted the experience, making it a special treat on the evening before our trip.
Actually, we don't have to be in L.A. until Thursday, so tomorrow, Wednesday, we're spending the night in Pismo Beach. This is a place most people, I suspect, drive right by on the way to, or from, L.A. and San Francisco. I once spent a weekend down there, years ago, just to check it out, but I'm sure Pismo's changed a lot since then. I'll report on what I found tomorrow.

"We arrived after dark and the unit was all lit up for our arrival. We could tell in the dark that the neighborhood was family friendly. After dropping our bags off we headed out to eat. We walked two maybe three blocks to a very yummy Italian restaurant that took our party of 8 right in.Everything you need is in walking distance( the train , shops, restaurants, ATM,bars and even a church we walked too. We enjoyed the location very much,we were in Roscoe Village. I gotta say download uber( cabs) so fast better than the train. Our unit had 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms , kitchen, yard, living area. The unit isn't big but it was very comfortable for 8.Everything we needed was in the unit.The unit was updated with modern bathrooms and comfy beds with nice down comforters.I would recommend this to family and friends and since we only had limited time due to wedding events we are planning a trip back next year to sight see.Thank you Roscoe Village Staff for a very clean and welcoming stay!!!!"Guest: sandra b.

"We went in on a Sunday with friends. We elected for the garage because we were tight on time to get there and to Wrigley for a game, but when we come back (because we will!) there was plenty of on-street parking. The garage was great, plenty of room and connected to the backyard. Access to the house was super easy, the rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. All the amenities we needed (coffee, hair dryer, etc.) were there and clean/ready. The backyard/patio was excellent to use after we spent the entire day at the game and ate/drank our way at many of the great neighborhood choices along the way. We took Uber to the game ($9 for the ride) and we walked back in the dark and never once felt any concern with the area or neighborhood and it was incredibly QUIET all night long. Definitely will use this again for weekend visits to Chicago."Guest: Breann M. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 28, 2015View listing

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Scotty Bowman On The Current Style Of Play
by Paul on 05/15/12 at 02:45 PM ET
Comments (0)
from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
The senior adviser to the Chicago Blackhawks can trace it back to the 1979 playoffs when he was coaching the powerful Montreal Canadiens. Roger Neilson, the innovative head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, saw his team swept by the Habs in the previous year and wanted to avoid a repeat.
The Canadiens relied on their Big Three defencemen, Larry Robinson, Serge Savard and Guy Lapointe, to control the puck along the offensive blue line and get it to highly skilled forwards like Guy Lafleur, Steve Shutt and Jacques Lemaire.
The key to success, Neilson figured, was to forget the traditional defensive game of having your wingers cover the defenceman on each point. He wanted them closer to the net, or down low, as the coaches say, checking the Canadiens forwards hard so the puck never made it back to the point.
"That's kind of the theory they try to do now," Bowman said Tuesday morning. "There's two guys out at the point and if you think about it, the defensive team has five guys nearer the puck and the other team has only three. They've got three forwards and the two defencemen are out on the blue line."

One death, 33 more swine flu cases in Delhi
New Delhi: A swine flu patient died while 33 people tested positive for the Influenza A (H1N1) virus in the national capital Tuesday, taking the toll to four and total number of cases to 154 this year, an official said.
The health ministry however assured that the situation was under control and there was no need to impose travel restrictions.
"Thirty-three people tested positive for swine flu and one death has been reported today (Tuesday) from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital," a Delhi Health Service doctor told IANS.
According to doctors, there has been a sudden spurt in the number of cases. In January alone, there was one death and 39 cases, while February so far has seen three deaths and 115 cases.
According to Delhi government, only 78 cases and one death were reported in 2012.
Health ministry officials said the World Health Organisation, while declaring swine flu pandemic to be over in August 2010, conveyed that the virus would take on the behaviour of seasonal flu and continue to circulate for some years to come.
Hence, in the post-pandemic period, localised outbreaks of varying magnitude with significant level of H1N1 transmission are expected, they said, adding there has been a spurt in the number of cases in Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab.
As the virus is circulating within the country, there is no need to impose any travel restrictions or screening at inter-state point of entry and railway stations, a senior health ministry official said.
The situation is well under control and is being monitored, he said.
"A large number of these cases would be presenting mild influenza like symptoms and as such require no anti-viral drug treatment," he said.
"However, it is important to get oneself examined at the nearest hospital in the initial part of illness to detect moderate illness and other associated risk factors that require hospitalisation," he said.
Officials said anti-viral drug Oseltamivir is available free of cost through the state public health system and a central stockpile of about 5.5 million tablets is also maintained.
