		<title>Join us for our new spring 2011 releases!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some of our newest releases and family favorites !
Kitara 2007 Barrel Select Pinot Noir-
Don&#8217;t be fooled by some snobby &#8217;wine critics&#8217; that call the 2007 Oregon vintages light and without body.  This barrel select (from our favorite 6 barrels) is rich, deep and full of dark fruit and mellow tannins.  We let it age in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello fall- it is wine time!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The two weeks that we had for summer have flown by! Now everyone is asking how the grapes are doing this year.  As I look out to the vineyard I see that we are starting to develop some nice fruit. However- we are about 2 weeks behind due to the &#8216;June-urary&#8217; weather.  So instead of [...]]]></description>

		<title>White wines &amp; roses&#8230;enjoy Portland!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is spring in Oregon&#8230;that means little league tournaments in 50 degree weather combined with hail &#38; rain.  Many of my friends from across the country think we&#8217;re crazy for living here!  But we in the wine business know the truth.  When we get one sunny day we take advantage of it and we ignore [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring has sprung- get into some healthy red wine&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spring is here at the winery.  The trees are blooming and some of the flowers are coming up.  What does that mean for the grapes?  Not much yet&#8230;.we are looking forward to an early spring though.  An early spring will usually help the vines ripen early in October or maybe late September.  In the Willamette [...]]]></description>

		<title>News Years Wine resolutions- let’s barrel through</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As it says in the old commercial- we will sell no wine before it’s time.  The 2008 Pinot Noir has been bottled after carefully aging it for just over 12 months in French and Hungarian Oak. (we even tested one barrel of homegrown Oregon oak). The 2008 wines are darker and fuller than 2007- with much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanksgiving is over- now it’s time for holiday wine &amp; cheers….(and Syrah)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yeah! We lived through the H1n1 AND the Thanksgiving weekend all while enjoying some good times &#38; good wines!  While many folks tour the Willamette Valley and get soaked in tasting fees and crowds- we are lucky enough to be off the beaten path.  Meaning fewer folks and more time to hobnob. The family ‘worked’ [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harvest is over- now it’s time for wine tasting in Oregon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fog is thick across the valley this morning- but thankfully we have just finished picking our 2009 harvest.  And it a word- ‘fantabulous’!  We started harvesting this year about a week early- and since we had a long dry summer and warm dry fall the sugar is quite nice.  It is really something to have both [...]]]></description>

		<title>What’s going on during the harvest here in Portland Pinot Noir land…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ve had a long strange summer here.  Not just long because my kids have finally gone back to school,  but long due to the incredible heat days that we have had in the vineyard.  What started out as a slow wet spring has evolved into a grand summer and fall-so far.   We are now about 6 [...]]]></description>

		<title>It harvest time in wine country- that means time to stomp grapes!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here we are just a half hour south of Portland getting ready for the “crush”. It is a fun, but strenuous time in the winemaking cycle- but it doesn’t have to be too serious!

We were founded by European immigrants Josef &#38; Lilli who knew that getting to harvest is a lot of long hours and hard work.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wine reviews and good tasting!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yea! We just got a nice write-up in the WIllamette Valley Press- a magazine pullout from Salem. They compared Pinot Noirs- St Josef’s to the French mega-snob super famous winery.  And guess who got the better review?  THats right- St Josef’s 2007 Pinot Noir.  We are proud of our family tradition and we’re glad other people [...]]]></description>
