Read more detailed information on St. Julien and its wines The seventeenth century pioneers Traces are to be found of a Saint-Julien de Rintrac, perhaps Saint-Julien's earliest name, as from the thirteenth century. But we have to wait until the seventeenth century pioneers, urban and rural aristocrats, discover the exceptional merits of these terroirs.
Traces of this system still exist today in the structure of estates within the appellation: by the side of the two villages of Beychevelle and Saint-Julien, the large estates are heavily preponderant, representing more than four fifths of the total surface of vineyards.

The terrain is practically identical over all the commune. Only the proximity of the estuary, sometimes close, sometimes further away, can cause slight variations in climate. In fact, Saint-Julien-Beychevelle's layer of gravel takes the form of a huge rectangle over 3 miles long and 2 miles wide. And the alluvial deposits are particularly well fragmented into ridges of Garonne gravel of the early Quaternary. Accordingly, the vines are safeguarded from stagnant water.

The wines from the Saint-Julien appellation may be recognized by their unparalleled bouquet, particularly harmonious and mild. They have a fine deep colour and combine the finesse of their aromas and a solid constitution. They have body, are very rich in flavour and have a delicious and delicate bouquet.

Production conditions (Decree dated November 14, 1936)
In order to have the right to the Saint-Julien appellation of controlled origin, red wines must:

- come from the commune of Saint-Julien and from precisely defined parcels in the communes of Cussac, and Saint-Laurent, "excluding the parcels situated on recent alluvium and sand on impermeable subsoils",
- satisfy precise production conditions: grape-varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc, Carmenère, Merlot Noir, Petit Verdot, Cot or Malbec), minimum of sugar (178 grammes - 6.27 oz. - per litre of must) degree (an acquired 10°5) base yield (45 hectolitres per hectare).

Rattlesnake Hills

Valdeorras (Valley of Gold) is the easternmost wine region of Galicia, with wineyards on the banks of the river Sil in the southern part of the Ourense province. The climate is a mix of atlantic and continental with high rainfall, but warm summers. Godello, an indigenous grape, is becoming important again. Other white grapes are Palomino, Valenciana and Lado. Mencía, Garnacha Tintorera, Gran Negro and Merenzao are in use as red grapes.

Sada barevných mapek a fotografií je od Bogdana Trojaka. Takto kdyby materiály o svých tratích pojala každá významnější vinařská obec, to by bylo...
Bogdan ale razí, že tradiční názvy tratí mají svou nenahraditelnou jazykovou, kulturní a historickou hodnotu, takže pokud do nich relativně nedávno necitlivě zasáhlo úřední přejmenovávání, je třeba toto úřadem posvěcené barbarství tvrdošíjně ignorovat. Jím uváděné názvy tratí tedy ne všude korespondují s úředním názvoslovím. Pro porovnání jsem vložil své vlastní tři černobílé zákresy, které uvádějí současné oficiální hranice a názvy viničních tratí.

Piji odtud pravidelně vína bratří Springerů, před i po jejich rozdělení. Názor na ně dosud nemám jednoznačný. Nechají se mezi nimi najít jak drahá zklamání, tak vyslovené skvosty. Vína Vinařství Jedlička-Novák má počáteční očekávání zatím nenaplnila. Sklep zde mají i Vinné sklepy Roztoky - tam se též dají nalézt pěkné kousky. Chutnal jsem i pár vína Miroslava Habřiny na výstavě a ta mne věru dostala, musím prozkoumat podrobněji. Těžko asi doporučovat vína kamarádova a tvářit se při tom objektivně, ale pokud budete mít příležitost s víny Bogdana Trojaka, ochutnjete, myslím, že nebudete litovat. Též vína Oty Ševčíka provází vynikající pověst.

V protokolech o vizitaci lánů panství hodonského z roku 1673 se vyjmenovávají tratě: Kraví hory přední, Kraví hory vrchní, Mlynáři, Randlíci, Louky, Koczáry, Novosady, Obramy či Olbramy, Dlouhé, Bočky dolní, Haltýře, Pratačky.

Anderson Valley stretches from Yorkville Highlands (located in a highland meadow straddling the upper Rancheria Creek and upper Dry Creek watersheds) through Boonville (located on Anderson Creek) and Philo (located on Indian Creek) to Navarro (located on Soda Creek). Rancheria, Anderson, Indian and Soda creeks are tributaries to the Navarro River, which flows north and west through the coastal range to the Pacific Ocean; Dry Creek flows south into the Russian River watershed in Sonoma County. The main stem of the Navarro River begins less than a mile south of Philo at the confluence of Anderson Creek and Rancheria Creek. The mouth of the Navarro is 10 miles (16 km) south of Mendocino, California. Encompassing 315 square miles (816 km²), the Navarro River watershed is the largest coastal basin in Mendocino County.

Such unique geography results in a wide diurnal range, with daily high and low temperatures occasionally diverging 40 or 50 degrees. This enables Pinot Noir growers to keep acid development in line with sugar and flavor formation through long, warm Indian summers. It also makes for superb Gewurztraminer and Riesling, giving rise to the valley’s annual Alsatian Varietals and Pinot Noir festivals.

The climate in the Anderson Valley appellation is tempered by cool marine air. Steep hills and mountains surround rolling to nearly level alluvial terraces. The dominant natural vegetation is a mixed forest of Coast Redwood, various native oak varieties, and Douglas-fir. Elevation ranges from sea level to 2,500 feet (760 m). The average annual precipitation ranges from 35 to 80 inches (900 to 2000 mm). The average annual temperature is about 53 °F (12 °C), and the average frost-free season ranges from 220 to 365 days. Towards the coast the summers are cool and moist with frequent fog, while the interior Anderson Valley proper features a warm to hot summer climate similar to nearby interior regions, with daytime highs occasionally in excess of 100 °F (38 °C).

Visitors to the Valley should come prepared for cool evenings and warm days. Locals dress in layers year round.
