Best Wines on the APVSA Wine Not! Tour

In May, the Association for the Promotion of Wines and Spirits in North America (the APVSA, based in Montreal) came to San Francisco on their spring tasting tour–the Wine Not! Tour. As a member of the new media, I was invited along to taste the wines they sampled for potential distributors, importers, and retail clients. Obligatory disclaimer: That means the wines mentioned in this post were free to me to taste.

And taste I did! Wines from Champagne L’Hoste.

The Wine Not! Tour offered portfolios from 20 of the APVSA’s producers. Full disclosure: I only made it to 10 tables. But of those 10 tables, I am very happy to share my favorite wines with you, and I hope to see more of them at Bay Area locations in the future.  Each one earned 5/5 from me, and I sampled 33 wines in all.

Charles Clément Cuvée Tradition Brut

Based in the Champagne region, Champagne Charles Clément  makes several wonderful bubblies, two of which stood out for me. The first, the Tradition Brut, made me yearn for a hayride! It offered an amazing aroma of rhubarb and berries with a deep depth of field—consider these field notes! Very fresh with tiny bubbles galore.

Charles Clément Millésime Brut 2005

The 2005 Brut Millésime from Charles Clément was a world apart from the Tradition Brut, a shift to elegance from rustic energy. It had a beautifully clean taste, especially for an aged Champagne. I found it very well-blended and thought it would be fantastic with mussels, bread, and a buttery broth.

Verum Malvasia 2016

On the L.

This wine is one of a series that La Mancha’s Verum Bodegas Y Viñedos has made to profile blending grapes not often bottled on their own. I think this experimentation is doing a great service for wine lovers, as the 2016 Malvasia, made 100% from a grape usually used in the Rioja to add aroma, is a revelation. The nose transported me to lychee groves with aloe vera plants growing between the trees. The taste was the same except brighter, greener, and oh-so-soothing.

Domaine de Vénus Côtes du Roussillon 2016

This grenache, syrah, and carignan red blend comes from an estate winery in the tiny town of Saint Paul de Fenouillet, purchased by ten friends who went into the wine business together in late 2002. It offers simplicity at its most approachable, relying on cherry vanilla and pepper notes to yield a mellow wine sure to please a wide range of palates.

Château d’Agel Recolte Rouge 2014

In the Languedoc, Château d’Agel is home to a winemaker whose philosophy I love: “Make it easy to drink!” His wines are as unpretentious as that goal, which he achieves handily—the lowest I rated any Château d’Agel wine was a 3.5. But the estate red blend, simply titled after the estate, soared. My notes: A chalky nose gives way to a delightful thin berry layer that thickens like a good preserve. Pepper and mace finish it off.

Because I loved Château d’Agel’s philosophy so much, I will also offer up my second place wine of the day, coming in at 4.5/5. Yes, that means all the aforementioned wines tied for first, at least in my way of thinking. 😉

Château d’Agel Les Bonnes Rouge 2016

A splendid grenache, syrah, and mourvedre blend, the Les Bonnes red wine blend brought forth fragrant violet and drippy cherry with a woodsy nose. I loved it.  If I ever end up on a visit to the Haut Minervois region, Château d’Agel will be for sure on my list.

If you’d like to see how the rest of the wines I tried on the Wine Not! tour fared, browsing my Vivino feed is your best bet. Pretty much every European wine I’ve rated since late May was from this event. Thank you to President Pascal Fernand and the AVPSA for the invitation!

Event held 26 May 2017.

SEARHC Deploys Mobile Clinics to Give Alaskan Women Free Mammograms

After serving as an account executive at Aetna, Charles Clement held various senior-executive positions at Southcentral Foundation, where he worked for over a decade. Deeply involved in America’s healthcare field, Charles Clement is the president of Juneau, Alaska-based Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC). SEARHC runs a program called WISEWOMAN Women’s Health Program dedicated to providing free and affordable health services to Alaskan women living in underserved communities. The program targets women between the ages of 30 and 64 at high risk of developing chronic disease but who do not have access to preventive health programs as a result of financial constraints. WISEWOMAN recently announced it will be providing free mammograms to women living in Southeast Alaska in the spring and fall every year. Mobile mammography vans will visit remote locations throughout the region providing mammography services to women who would otherwise not have access to them. The free screenings will significantly increase breast cancer awareness while helping thousands of at-risk women to learn their current status in relation to the disease. Early detection of the cancer can significantly improve the chances of long-term survival.

South East Alaska Regional Health Consortium - Through With Chew Week

A graduate of the University of Alaska, Charles Clement holds a master of public administration. Charles Clement leverages his training to lead as president and chief executive officer of the South East Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC), which encourages Alaskans to participate in national Through With Chew Week. Designed to discourage the use of smokeless Tobacco, Through With Chew Week took place from February 19 through 25. The event served as an opportunity to increase awareness in Alaskans of the dangers of smokeless tobacco. From 1996 to 2015, the adult rate of adult smokeless tobacco use was between 4 and 6 percent, and showed no significant drop, despite the known risks associated with this habit. Smokeless tobacco has at least 28 chemicals that can cause cancer, including cancer of the pancreas and esophagus. Further, it can lead to nicotine poisoning in children and increase the risk of stillbirth or early delivery for pregnant women. SEARHC urges those who are struggling to quit using smokeless tobacco to call Alaska’s Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW or to visit Facebook.com/Alaskaquitline.
