STOP THE BLEED program spurred by shootings By Amy Rigard
Every second counts. That is especially true when tragedies such as the recent shootings in Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, Texas, happen. In those seconds and minutes between when tragedy strikes and when first responders arrive on the scene, bystanders can play a critical role in saving someone’s life by stopping the bleeding. Numerous media outlets reported on good Samaritans who helped others after the Las Vegas shooting by applying pressure to their wounds and creating makeshift tourniquets. Those bystanders saved lives. And it’s the hope of Lt. Daniel Byrne, of the Burton Fire District, that trauma kits and training to “stop the bleed” could help save the lives should an emergency, such as a school shooting occur. The idea for the trauma kits and training was borne out of another tragic event: the shooting and death of 6-year-old Townville, S.C., elementary school student, Jacob Hall in 2016. Byrne’s wife, Angela, a school teacher for 26 years, asked her husband what she could have done to help Jacob if he had been one of her students. While Beaufort County schools have emergency preparedness plans in place and have conducted active shooter drills, those seconds and minutes be-
tween a trauma and the arrival of first responders is critical. “No matter how quickly we receive the call or how fast and efficient our response and arrival is, there will be a delay between the time a child is injured and when a paramedic arrives to treat them,” said Byrne. The question became: How could they help close that gap and help stop the loss of blood among victims? The Burton Fire District approached Broad River Elementary School, where Angela Byrne teaches, with the idea for a pilot program of Jacob’s Kit. The goal is to train teachers, but students are also learning how to use the kit to “stop the bleed.” The kits contain a tourniquet, which studies have found to be the best and easiest to use to control bleeding, chest seals – adhesives for chest wounds, bandages, medical gloves and trauma sheers to cut clothing. According to the Department of Homeland Security, a person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. For a small child, that amount of time is shorter due to a lower blood volume. Shortly following the events at Sandy Hook
“I would encourage everyone to get the training. You can save a life.”

The state of South Carolina is in the process of redrawing lines that restrict how close homes can be built to vulnerable beachfront shorelines and dune systems. That process has caused some concern among beachfront homeowners, particularly those hit hard by recent hurricanes. They worry that the new lines could prevent them from rebuilding their homes. However, in an effort to get more feedback, the state has extended the public comment period. The final lines were originally scheduled to be announced Dec. 8. South Carolina residents now have until April 6, 2018, to submit public comments on the Department of Health and Environmental Control’s (DHEC) newly proposed beachfront jurisdictional lines. DHEC will adopt final beachfront jurisdictional lines in May 2018 and will publish all final revised lines by Dec. 31, 2018. In October, U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford, R-SC, echoed the concerns of many residents in a letter he sent to DHEC Director Myra Reece asking the department to delay the implementation of the new lines. He noted that many Lowcountry residents were still dealing with the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irma and Hurricane Matthew and had a shortened comment period. The statement read, “For regulations to be fair and meaningful, they must judiciously balance public and private interests. I don’t believe that the current roll-out of beachfront jurisdic-

tional lines passes this test. “In that regard, I join with many of my constituents in asking for a one-year delay in the implementation of these proposed lines.” According to DHEC Director of Media Relations Tim Kelly, “Based on the feedback received during the original 30-day comment period, DHEC feels it is appropriate to give property owners and other interested parties more time to meet with department staff, understand the methodology used to set the jurisdictional lines and bring the department any additional information for consideration.” The redrawing of beach jurisdictional lines restricts how close someone can build to vulnerable beachfront shorelines and the dune system and is required by the Beachfront Management Act of 1988. DHEC establishes two lines – the baseline, or the more seaward line, and the setback line, the more landward line – to guide shoreline development. The lines, which must be re-surveyed every seven to 10 years, are based on long-term erosion patterns along the shore. Don Woelke, general manager at Harbor Island, hopes DHEC delays the implementation of those lines by one or two years. He worries that the new lines could negatively impact property values, new construction and the repair of storm-damaged homes within the 1,400acre gated community about 15 miles east of Beaufort. The current proposed lines were surveyed before miles of See SAND, page A6

two-vehicle accident in which both vehicles collided on the roadway and ended up off the road. No injuries were reported and traffic on Trask Parkway was delayed for approximately 30 minutes while emergency crews assisted the occupants. Just before 10 p.m. Nov. 20, firefighters responded to a motor vehicle accident on Trask Parkway by John Johnson Quality Homes. Firefighters arrived to find an accident between a passenger vehicle and a moped. The moped operator, who was wearing a helmet and reflective clothing, appeared to have serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. While emergency crews were assisting the moped operator, a second motor vehicle accident occurred at the same location when a passenger vehicle struck a BCSO vehicle that was assisting at the first accident. The female driver of the passenger vehicle appeared to have serious injuries but insisted a family member take her to the hospital. There was no deputy in the BCSO vehicle at the time of the collision. Trask Parkway was delayed for approximately two hours while emergency crews assisted the injured and removed roadway hazards from both collisions. The Burton Fire District has responded to over 315 accidents in 2017. In 2016, the Burton Fire District responded to less than 300 accidents.
Gas leak at Food Lion results in evacuation
Just before 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 18, the Burton Fire District was dispatched to a strong odor of gas inside and outside the Food Lion on Shanklin Road. Firefighters searched the interior and exterior of the building. Food Lion personnel had already evacuated patrons from the store. The firefighters located a portable propane tank outside the main doors that was leaking propane. The bottle was secured and the leak stopped. Because the leak was outside, the building employees and patrons were allowed to go back inside. The store was evacuated for approximately 15 minutes. No injuries were reported and the store is back in normal operation.
Shoplifting suspect is being sought
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is attempting to identify a suspect who came into Food Lion at 350 Shanklin Road on Nov. 20 and filled a shopping cart with $268 worth of groceries and walked past the checkout counter

VOICES
What’s sitting in your mother’s jewelry box? When I was a child, my mother had a collection of broaches in her jewelry box. One of distinction was the broach I made for her for Mother’s Day when I was in Brownies. It was made of wood and had “Mother’s Day” spelled out in macaroni, and had been shellacked. I'm sure she loved wearing it to church, before the macaroni started to start to fall off and the meaning was lost. I was reminded of all my mother’s broaches recently when I was traveling and noticed a young woman sitting next to me wearing a beautiful broach on her jacket. It was round with emeralds surrounded by diamonds. I commented to her how beautiful it was, and she said it was her late grandmother’s broach. It wasn't long before I started to notice other young women wearing decorative pins and broaches, maybe because it can be a very expressive form of body art without using a tattoo needle.
Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
Surprisingly, there are numerous broaches that women can wear that make a statement. There are dog and cat broaches for people who want to show love for their pet. I have also seen colorful butterfly broaches. According to one of the saleswoman at a local women’s clothing store, it has become quite popular to wear and use vintage jewelry nowadays. Her shop sells magnets designed by a local artist using vintage broaches. The shop also sells beautiful long necklaces made
from an assortment of old jewelry. That’s when I remembered I still had some of the old jewelry from my mother and mother-in-law, who had both died in early 2008. I was amazed at the number of broaches I found in their collections. The first batch I went through included a cameo broach with two doves kissing over a basket of flowers. It’s beautiful, but like many of the others, needs some tender loving care. Some of the broaches have matching clip-
on earrings too. (Are there women who still wear clip-on earrings?) The other various broaches reflected different holidays throughout the year, like hearts and cupids for Valentine’s Day and Christmas trees and angels for Christmas. I recall my mother wearing some of the broaches on her winter coat over the holidays. I’m not sure why my four sisters and I never picked up on wearing broaches. I guess we thought they were too old fashioned, looking more like our grandmother’s era. But it is nice to see some of this jewelry becoming popular again, or at least recycled. And maybe it’s time for me to start wearing some of the vintage jewelry that my daughter was wearing that day.

those assets will pass via probate. Because so many things change throughout life, review your beneficiary designations every few years — and always after a life event such as a marriage, the birth of a child, adoption, divorce, remarriage or death — to make sure they're current. Otherwise, you risk leaving the proceeds to an ex-spouse or someone who has died before you. Get specific information about beneficiaries from a legal or tax advisor and your State Farm agent. Visit www.statefarm.com. The information in this article was obtained from various sources not associated with State Farm. These suggestions are not a complete list of every loss control measure.

It's simple: Fill in the blank on the account application and you've named a beneficiary. But don't write off the task as unimportant. Naming the right person to receive the proceeds of an account is an important decision that could have long-ranging effects on your loved ones. Why it's important Certain accounts ask you to name a beneficiary, such as life insurance policies, pension plans and retirement accounts. Upon your death, proceeds from these accounts will typically go directly to the beneficiaries and bypass probate, which helps your beneficiaries avoid some red tape. What to consider • Age: Most insurance companies, pensions and retirement accounts will not pay benefits to someone under age 18. A better option is to create a trust for the minor and name a trustee to manage the account until
the child reaches the age you specify in the trust. • Ability to manage money: If your beneficiary is not able to manage money, name a trustee to invest and disburse funds on his or her behalf. • Contingency: Name a secondary beneficiary so that if your first beneficiary dies before you, the account proceeds pass directly to the secondary beneficiary without probate. • Options: Your beneficiary can be a spouse, child or other individual(s); a trust; a charity or an organization. If you don't specify a beneficiary, your assets will go into your estate and be distributed according to your will. Don't 'set it and forget it' Regardless of what you've specified in your will, assets that have beneficiary designations will pass as provided in those designations, and not how they're set out in your will. It's rarely recommended to name your estate as a beneficiary, since doing so means

Elementary School, a Joint Committee to Create a National Policy to Enhance Survivability from Intentional Mass Casualty and Active Shooter Events was formed by the American College of Surgeons. The consensus was to encourage civilian training programs based on data compiled from military and civilian experiences, placing emphasis on early bleeding control. The study “strongly endorses” civilian bystanders’ involvement, and in 2015 the Department of Homeland Security launched a national initiative called “Stop the Bleed” to encourage civilian training programs. The Jacob Kit program was launched by the Burton Fire District in August with all 50 classrooms and other major common ar-

eas at Broad River Elementary School being equipped with kits. This program initiative at Broad River was made possible through donations from Washington National Insurance, the Kiwanis Club of Beaufort and the Stuart Hardy family. Fifty kits were provided to Whale Branch Elementary School in late November thanks to a grant provided by the Hilton Head Firefighters Association. Joseph S. Shanklin Elementary School
and James J. Davis Elementary School are slated to receive 30 kits each. Teachers will receive annual training, and the kits will be inspected every year. The Burton Fire District hopes to have a Jacob Kit in all the elementary school classrooms in their district by the start of the next school year, and plans to continue the program into the middle and high schools once the elementary schools are complete. Byrne hopes to extend the program to
dictional lines and reports that describe how they were established at each beach. Legislation passed unanimously in June 2016 locks in the baseline and prohibits it from ever moving seaward after Dec. 31, 2017. According to DHEC, “The lines do not create a ‘no-build’ area.” Rather, repairs, reconstruction and new construction must
meet specific conditions for exemption and must be authorized by the department. If exemptions or authorization aren’t granted, residents can take their case to a state court. Comments can be submitted at gis.dhec. sc.gov/shoreline. For more information, contact OCRM-comments@dhec.sc.gov.
churches and businesses. “It’s sad that this is what the world is coming to, but it’s a reality that we’ll have to live with at least for the foreseeable future,” said Byrne. “I would encourage everyone to get the training. You can save a life.” Funding for the training and installation of the kits, which cost $65 each, comes from grants and donations. To donate or request the free training, contact safetyed@burtonfd.org.

Losing her 13-month-old daughter in a tragic accident earlier this fall left Nila Barrett numb with pain. But when she learned about a project to help comfort other distraught parents, Barrett set aside her grief and jumped into action. The Lady’s Island mother of three became the driving force behind an initiative to donate blankets to hospitals for children who have passed away or need to be transferred to a tertiary medical facility. She dubbed the campaign “Quinnie’s Covers” in tribute to her late daughter, Quinn. “It was something positive I could do,” Barrett said.“I wanted to offer some light in another family’s darkest moment.” The project was conceived by Beaufort Memorial emergency room nurse Michelle Davis, who cared for Quinn the day she was brought to the hospital with
fatal injuries. After cleaning her up, she swaddled the baby in a hospital blanket for her parents to hold. “I felt so bad, wrapping her in this huge, scratchy hospital blanket,” she said. “There was nothing special about it.” A mother of two young girls herself, Davis felt compelled to do something to comfort parents like the Barretts who suffer such a grievous loss. “I came up with the idea of blanket donations in Quinn’s honor,” she said. “Families always want to hold their babies. I thought a nice blanket would feel more like home.” Davis mentioned her plan to Barrett a few days later when she called to thank the nurse. Touched by the idea of honoring her child, she started a Facebook campaign to solicit blanket donations. “It just took off,” she said. “I’ve had people donating blankets from all over
the country.” She set up an Amazon wish list registry and held a T-shirt fundraiser to make additional purchases. To date, she has amassed more than 150 blankets. Each blanket features a square patch with a drawing of an elephant and the words “Quinnie’s Covers,” along with a reference to Psalm 127.3 (“Children are a gift from the Lord”). Barrett, joined by her mother Carol and friends Tobi Scott and Michelle Felzer, delivered their first donation to Beaufort Memorial Hospital this month. In upcoming weeks, they plan to donate blankets to other area hospitals. “The reason we’re doing this is sad for me,” she said. “But it’s an opportunity to honor Quinnie and tell people what a wonderful little girl she was.” To make a donation, visit the Quinnie’s Covers Facebook page.

Beaufort Memorial Parents’ Bereavement Support Group Meetings are held at 7 p.m. the first Tuesday of every month in classroom 350-C of Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Road. For more information, call Heath at 843-522-5176 or 843-522-PRAY (7729).
As much as she loves the holiday season, Tonya Doctor isn’t looking forward to all the usual festivities this year. She dreads the big family gatherings, seeing Santa at the mall and hearing her friends talk about the toys they are buying their children for Christmas. Six months after she lost her only child, Doctor is still struggling with her grief. This time of year is especially difficult with so much of the holidays focused on children. “I don’t do well being around kids,” the Yemassee resident said. To help her cope with the loss of her son, Doctor has been attending Beaufort Memorial’s Parents’ Bereavement Support Group held the first Tuesday of every month. “When you’re grieving, you feel like you’re all alone,” she said. “I come from a large family, but no one understands what I’m feeling. Losing a child is a whole different kind of grief. Talking to people who have gone through the same thing has helped.” Beaufort Memorial started the Parents’ Bereavement Support Group earlier this year at the urging of hospital chaplain Ed Morgan and labor and delivery nurse Tiffany Heath. “It’s heartbreaking to watch parents lose a baby and not be able to do anything but cry with them,” Heath said. “Now we can offer them a resource for support after they leave the hospital.” For Doctor, it was a lifeline during one of the darkest times of her life. Manager of two Beaufort County Department of Disabilities and Special Needs homes, Doctor had always wanted children, but had trouble getting pregnant. At age 41, she finally conceived. But months into the pregnancy, she developed an infection in her uterus, causing her to go into premature labor at 23 weeks. “I didn’t even know I was in labor,” she recalled. “I was just having some spotting.” Her physician sent her to the Medical University of South Carolina where she had an emergency C-section. Zahir was born May 28, 2016, weighing just 1 pound, 6 ounces. “He was so tiny, he could literally fit in the palms of my hands,” Doctor said. “They didn’t think he was going to live.” With his lungs too immature to function on their own, he had to be put on a ventilator. At five months, a tracheostomy tube was inserted in his windpipe to keep him alive. He also needed a gastrostomy tube to feed him. But her “Fat Man,” as she affectionately called him, continued to improve and gain weight. When he was 10 pounds, Doctor finally got to take him home – nearly nine months after he was born. “I took time off of work to stay with him,” Doctor said. “I played with him, took him to church and took pictures and videos of him. We had fun.” But on Mother’s Day weekend, Zahir took a turn for the worse. He died a week later. “I was heartbroken,” Doctor said. “We were planning his birthday party. Instead, I had to plan his funeral.” Before she left the hospital, a nurse gave her a card with information about the Beaufort Memorial Parents’ Bereavement Group. Overcome with grief, she began attending the meetings. “It doesn’t matter at what age or how you lose a child, it’s a tragedy that is hard to overcome,” said Morgan, who lost his own premature son. “The support group allows parents to share their experience and grieve with others who have been through it.” Talking about Zahir and learning how others cope with their grief has helped Doctor accept her loss. “They told me it’s OK to cry if I go into a store and see a baby,” she said. “It’s comforting to know I’m going to make it through this.”

Polaris Tech developer finalizes land purchase
Polaris Tech Charter School’s facility developer, True North Companies LLC, has finalized the purchase of a 5.5-acre property where the new state charter school will be built. With the purchase complete, permits are being secured to begin demolition of the former building on the site. Once demolition is done and the site is prepped, construction of the approximate 28,000-square-foot building will begin. Completion is expected next summer in time for Polaris Tech’s mid-August opening. Student applications will be available online in mid-December. Polaris Tech will enroll up to 250 students in grades 6-10 for the coming school year. It will then add 11th grade in 2019 and 12th grade in 2020. “We are happy that the property purchase is done and Polaris Tech is one step closer to rising up to help the young people of Jasper County and the Lowcountry,” said retired Air Force Gen. Lloyd “Fig” Newton, a Jasper native and one of the founders of Polaris Tech. True North Companies, based in Roswell, Ga., is familiar with South Carolina’s regula-
tions and permitting requirements for K-12 schools as they are building charter schools across South Carolina. Walt Gill, president of True North, said the property closing opens the door for more visible improvements to the property. “Step by step, we are going to help Polaris Tech build a charter school that is shaped by what will happen inside the walls to boost student achievement,” he said. Even as the developer closed on the property, Polaris Tech organizers are seeking an executive director to lead the school and prepare for the August opening. Applications for the job are being accepted and details are available at www.polaristech.org. The executive director will work closely with the board on matters such as hiring staff, finalizing curriculum, reviewing documents such as student and employee handbooks, and adding input to the school facility construction. William Singleton, former superintendent of Jasper County Schools and a founding member of Polaris Tech, said “I am amazed each week at how much progress this school is making. The community and especially the young people of Jasper County are going to find an exciting new place to learn and

with a master’s degree in education and is national board certified. “We had an amazing slate of highly-qualified candidates,” board Chair Dee Matthews said. “It was great that no matter who was elected, we knew we’d have strong leadership, but it also means some well-qualified people didn’t get elected. Thank you to all the candidates for stepping forward and offering to make Bridges Prep even better.” The newly-elected and re-elected board members join incumbents Dee Matthews, Marty Miley and Brooke Pacheco. They’ll be sworn in Dec. 14. Bridges Preparatory School was chartered by South Carolina in mid-2012 and opened at near capacity in August 2013. Since then, enrollment has grown steadily with almost 700 students enrolled in K-10 this year. School leaders are preparing to build a new school campus in Port Royal off Robert Smalls Parkway.

Thanksgiving Day brings out the best Members and volunteers at Old Shell Baptist and St. Helena Episcopal churches held their annual Thanksgiving Community Meals for those who just don’t want to cook or may not have anywhere else to go. The entire community was invited and hundreds took advantage. “We have enough food here to feed 300 people” said Michael Deentzler, pastor of Old Shell Baptist in Port Royal. “It’s all purchased and prepared by our members,” he said. “They buy the food, cups, plates, knives and forks and offer it all to the community, free of charge.” Everything from traditional turkey and dressing were on hand as well as ham, yams, and just about anything you could think of for Thanksgiving, including fried chicken. St. Helena Episcopal Church in Beaufort is also a mainstay of traditional Thanksgiving meals, though it’s operated more like a traditional restaurant. Guests are seated at tables while traditional Thanksgiving meals were prepared by a small army of volunteer cooks and servers.
Patrons are seated at tables after which volunteers come and take their “order” and deliver Thanksgiving meals at St. Helena Episcopal Church.

A GULLAH CHRISTMAS Church celebrates blessings About a hundred people from The Link church and Shell Point Baptist got together for the annual Harvest Days/Thankful Nights on Nov. 4 at Shell Point Baptist Church. “We all get together this time of year to give thanks for blessings throughout the year,” said Interim Pastor Darren Jones. “We meet on the front lawn and eat, play games and listen to live music during the afternoon. When the sun goes down we sit around a bonfire in the back yard and tell what we are thankful for.”

Nativities from around world to be displayed The Presbyterian Women of First Presbyterian Church will present “A Nativity Celebration” from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 8, and Saturday, Dec. 9; and from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10, in the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian Church at the corner of Church and North streets in Beaufort. For several years a member of the church, Marion Leach, along with other ladies of the church, visited the Crèche Festival held at Mepkin Abbey in Moncks Corner. As a collector of nativities, Leach
became inspired to share a similar gift to the community. For the seventh year the ladies of the church will be transforming the fellowship hall and sharing beautifully displayed nativities from around the world (some by local artists) collected by members and friends. In celebration and memory of Leach, this year’s display will include her entire collection of nativities. “It is amazing to see how the Christmas story is depicted by artists from different countries as well
as different regions of the United States,” according to a release. “Each year the display has grown, with last year having 110 different nativities made of various materials from the finest porcelain to banana leaves. “They come in all sizes and shapes, some so small they fix in a match box. It is truly to be enjoyed by all ages, becoming a family Christmas tradition for some.” There is even a “Please Touch” table for children. Admission is free and the fellowship hall is handicap accessible.
More than 110 nativities will be on display at First Presbyterian Church. Photo provided. NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 6, 2017

WINE
Rare Pinor Meunier is perfect for holidays Glad we're back together again. It's been a while, but none of us have been going without wine. We just haven't been doing any together. So, today, we're going to enjoy a rare new wine. Our wine is made from Celia Strong a much lesser known grape variety: Pinot Meunier. Although not phonetically correct, if you pronounce it "Moon Yay," you'll be close enough and not be tongue tied. This is a red variety that is a "cousin" in the Pinot family of grapes. In particular, it is a mutation, hundreds of years ago, from Pinot Noir. Pinot Meunier's most popular source is the Champagne region, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to make some pretty amazing and pretty expensive wines. Actually, in recent years, Champagne producers have stepped up their public recognition of Meunier's value in their wines. It gives them body and richness. The name "Meunier" means "miller" in French. The underside of its grape vines leaves have flour-like dusty white down on them. Growing Pinot Meunier is generally easier than growing Pinot Noir. Meunier buds later in the spring, which helps to avoid late frosts and ripens earlier, which helps it avoid early frosts. Its production levels are more reliable than either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, growing 6 to 8 tons of grapes per acre. There are 26,000 acres of Pinot Meunier planted. Compared to Pinot Noir, Meunier wines are lighter bodied, lighter colored and a bit more acidic. In Champagne, it gives fruitiness and aromatics to the wines. Because it does not have the aging potential of either Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, Champagnes meant to be drunk younger have a larger percentage of Meunier. Besides the Champagne region, Meunier is grown, in small amounts, in the Loire Valley and Germany. In California, Pinot Meunier is mostly used for blending in sparkling wines. Let's face it, many California sparkling wine companies have their origins with French producers, especially Champagne houses. Meunier was first brought to California in 1850. And, originally, producers did try to make red wines from it. Since 1990, most of the 200 acres of Meunier are planted in Carneros, where the majority of high quality California sparkling wines are sourced from. Every once in a while, a winery will make
The red fruit flavors of Meunier and the baking spice flavors are especially pronounced in this vintage. some red wine from Meunier. Our wine this week is one of these few. Bouchaine Winery is the oldest continuously operating in the Carneros district. They started making wine there long before the area was recognized for growing great Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. Boon Fly, a Missouri native who was the first to own this land, grew grapes and fruit trees in the late 1880s. In 1927, an Italian winemaker, Johnny Garetto, bought the parcel of land that is Bouchaine today. Beringer bought the estate from Garetto in 1962 and used it for storage and a blending facility until the Copelands and their partners bought what was a run-down property in 1981. They are the pioneers that started growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Carneros, after a lot of building renovating and soil restoration and replanting. They still own the 100-acre Bouchaine Winery. Bouchaine Pinot Meunier is definitely a rare wine. For the 2012 vintage, only 879 bottles were made. The grapes for this wine were grown in Blocks 9 and 10 on the estate. These two blocks are cold and more susceptible to frost than the rest of the estate vineyards. With Pinot Meunier ripening before Pinot Noir, though, it works. The 2012 grapes were large and very full of fruit flavors. Also, with larger grapes, the ratio of juice to skins was changed. It means the wines are fruitier and juicier. The red fruit flavors of Meunier and the baking spice flavors are especially pronounced in this vintage. Forty percent of the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 11 months. This is all good news, but, we do have some not so good. Bouchaine has decided to sell its Pinot Meunier only at the winery (their SRP is $40). No more shipping to anyone else to sell. For now, though, we are lucky. We do have a limited supply. So, if there is any time in the next few weeks when you might like a really good, rare bottle of wine for yourself or someone else, I recommend this Pinot Meunier. For $20.97. Enjoy!
