AppellationAmerica.com Evaluates SC Mts Chardonnays - Pinot Noirs Next

AppellationAmerica.com has just posted to its website an evaluation of 
Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnays as part of its Best of Appellation 
program. Check it out at  
http://wine.appellationamerica.com/best-of-appellation/Santa-Cruz-Mountains-Chardonnay.html 
.  The evaluation explores the distinct flavor profiles that 
characterize our major sub-regions:  Skyline, the Saratoga Foothills, 
the Summit Road area, and Corralitos/Pleasant Valley.  Interesting!  The 
VASCM, through Prudy Foxx and Mary Lindsay, has been working with 
Appellation America on this, as well as Laura Ness, 
AppellationAmerica.com's local correspondent.

We are now in the process of getting in appellation Pinot Noirs for the 
next SC Mts. evaluation, and Cabernet Sauvignon will follow later in the 
year.

At our last meeting on Cover Crops at Vine Hill, Rich Casale handed out a list of seed suppliers.  
For anyone who did not get the list or who was not there to get it, here it is.  This list is from
the NRCS.  Rachel Ormes at Vine Hill said she was getting organic seed and good prices from Mountain 
Feed in Ben Lomond (included on the following list).  Rich recommended rice straw to cover the seed,
and you will see some of these suppliers provide it.

You can also find a pdf of this list on our website at www.vascm.org, where the meeting is listed
on the homepage.
