	Small Vineyards Italian Portfolio 4-7 p.m. $3/person $5/two (2/10/2012) Small Vineyards is a National wine importer who searches every corner of the Mediterranean for the best small-productions wines you've never heard of. They specialize in wines that are hand-harvested, earth-friendly, and from family-owned estates. Small Vineyards philosophy is to locate and import wines from small estates, and that by doing so, they are helping to protect unique grape varietals, local wine-making styles, and preserve a special way of life. Small Vineyards are seekers of those outstanding small vineyard wines that most importers would never give a second thought, regardless of quality, because there is not enough to make a brand. We like to think of Small Vineyards as our own personal wine investigator in Italy and throughout the Mediterranean. We love Small Vineyard tastings, because every wine is always extremely affordable and a delight to the palate. Here are the wines our own Dick Taylor will be pouring for you: * Zaienda Agricolo Pugliano Sangiovese/Canailol/Cabernet * 2010 Giocato 100% Merlot * 2009 Monte Tonday Valpolicella * 2010 La Querica Aglianico * 2009 Mirantico Terre Margaritelli Rosso * 2009 Podere Ciona Montegrossoli Rosso * 2006 Podere Ciona Le Diacce Toscana Merlot * 2006 Rita Perazzeta Sangiovese Riserva * NV Tre Donne Muscato d'Asti La Perlina $3 per person, $5 for two people

	Rulo Winemakers Kurt & Vicki Schickler 4-7 p.m. (3/2/2012) Rulo Winery was established in 2000. We produced our initial vintage at what is now Abeja Winery. Total production was just over 300 cases of Chardonnay, Rosé and Red Table Wine. In late 2000, we purchased ~6 acres of property in south Walla Walla and in 2001 built our winery. Current total production is at 2600 cases of Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Rulo label and logo is three of the six grain silos which comprise the Rulo grain elevator station. All grain elevators in the valley are named and the location of one's farm is typically associated in relation to its nearest grain elevator station. We refer to this as, "farmer GPS." This active elevator station is located NW of the winery by 11 miles. The picturesque drive to the Rulo elevator reminds us all of the agricultural background of the Walla Walla Valley. As we were going through the process of naming our winery, we chose to honor the history of the wheat industry and combine it with the burgeoning new grape industry and adopted the name RULO. Due to concerns surrounding cork taint (TCA) contamination and synthetic closure longevity, Rulo Winery is proud to be 100% screwcap as we feel this is the best currently available closure for wine, period.
