2001 Hartwell Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cabernet Sauvignon is the ultimate expression of our hillside estate in the Stags Leap district. The excitement surrounding the 2001 vintage is of the nearly ideal growing conditions that delivered ripe fruit with varietal character. This is reflected in a glass of our 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine exhibits great density and a dark, ruby color. Focused aromas of ripe blueberry and blackberry mingle with notes of mocha, nutmeg, and wet stone. The tannins are forward, but not aggressive, providing a sturdy framework on which this wine will age for years to come. This wine offers power and elegance, and should continue to evolve for 10-15 years.
Suggested Retail - $50-$60
Brunello di Montalcino was Italy's first wine to be accorded D.O.C.G. status, a testament to its aristocracy, balance and fabulous proclivity for aging. Under the direction of master winemakers, Banfi's Sangiovese grapes are transformed into a remarkable world-class wine, perhaps the most respected red of Italy. Aged for a total of up to four years, including a minimum of two years in oak barrels, Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of robust character. It possesses a rich garnet color, and a depth, complexity and opulence that is softened by an elegant, lingering aftertaste. Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino's regal qualities are best exhibited with game, red meats, roasts, hearty stews and rich powerful cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano..
Suggested Retail - $55-$65
Bodegas Marqués de Cáceres Gran Reserva
Intense, dark cherry-red colour. Complex bouquet that reveals a splendid balance of mature fruit and a delicate touch of spice (vanilla, refined leather) from the French oak. Powerfull in the mouth with sensations of fleshy, crystallized fruit that highlight a pleasant fullness in which the slightly toasted notes from the wood are perfectly integrated. A very elegant wine that promises to develop splendidly in bottle. An ideal wine to accompany game dishes in sauces or ragout, lamb or beef with spices (roast, stewed or grilled), and mature or blue cheese.

Trinitas Carneros Chardonnay 2007
Our 2007 Carneros Chardonnay is the quintessential California Chardonnay. This wine was 100% barrel fermented, sur lie aged, and has completed 100% malolactic fermentation. It displays classid romas of lemon, green apple, pear, butter vanilla and toast. Shows a ripe, smoky, mature mix of flavors, with toasty oak, ripe fig and melon, ending with tart sour lemon notes. Medium-weight. Drink now.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio 2008
This dry white wine is pale straw-yellow in color. The clean, intense aroma and dry flavour with pleasant golden apple aftertaste make Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio a wine of great character and versatility. In 1961, the Santa Margherita oenologist had what proved to be a brilliant idea. He decided to try the white vinification technique used for the production of French Champagne on the best Pinot Grigio grapes from Trentino-Alto Adige. This led to the creation of an innovative white wine which, with its fresh aroma and silky taste, created a new fashion in white wine drinking. This wine has since continued to gain in popularity both in Italy and abroad, maintaining a clear leadership in the Pinot Grigio D.O.C. category. Santa Margherita was the first company to vinify the pinkish Pinot Grigio grapes as white wine. Excellent as an aperitif, ideal accompaniment to seafood salads and fish- and shellfish-based pasta and rice courses. Perfect with white meats and boiled or grilled fish and with soufflés.
Bodegas Marqués de Cáceres Satinela
Very bright straw colour. Attractive bouquet combining lively notes of exotic fruit, apples (Coxs orange), and a hint of grapefruit in the background. Full in the mouth with delicious fruit flavours (apple,s pears, white peaches). Its silky unctuous characteristic is enlivened by a refined acidity making the wine pleasantly light. This wines delicate sweetness is hardly perceptible. Serve chilled as a delicious aperitif of as a creative match for appetizers such as canapés, weet and sour dishes, curries, oriental cuisine and cheese (goat and blue). It also balances nicely with light desserts.

Keeping up with rainfall and other moisture related issues is just goes along with the territory if you are a golf course superintendent. Here at WLCC it is very important given we do not have an irrigation system.
On days like last week with humidity levels in the 20 to 30 percent range, high winds, and sunlight, the turf can start to hurt very quickly. Hence the need to supplement between rain events. This year should be a prime example of what an irrigation system would do for turf conditions on the golf course.
Even though we are getting a shower here and there, the fairways and rough areas are still stressing. Be sure while you are driving your cart not to make abrupt turns or stops which damage the turf.
As the cash register starts to ring with more rounds of golf be sure that you and your guests are being good stewards of the course by replacing and/or filling divots on the tee boxes and fairways, and fixing your ball marks on the greens. It doesn't take much time to ensure the golf course you leave behind you as you play is one the golfer behind you can enjoy.
From the feedback I am getting, the majority of the members are pleased with the conditions on the course. My staff and I are working hard to produce playing conditions you the members can be proud of on a daily basis. No doubt you will see the staff on the course as you make your way around. Let them know you appreciate their hard work if you have the opportunity.
Thanks,
