			<description><![CDATA[Last Tuesday, I spoke to Taner ÃÄÃ¼toÄlu, the Director of Wines of Turkey, on his drive home through the Istanbul traffic. He was planning on working that evening.  Not an export strategy; not a trade-fair budget.  Not the usual kind of thing.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Jefford on Monday: The Party's Over]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[The relationship between rock, soil and wine flavour is as little understood as it is widely celebrated. There is a long-held European belief is that nothing matters more than the physical medium in which vines are rooted, and growers will often dazzle visitors with their command of exotic geological detail. Outside Europe, the notion that a distinguished site is the key to wine quality is rapidly gaining traction. "Let the vineyard speak" is an unquestioned ideal, no matter how difficult this action may be to define.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Jefford on Monday: The Cactus Path ]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[It was hidden away on page 16 of the 32-page proposal. Not in italics; not in red ink either. Perhaps it should have been. "One of the most disturbing trends," wrote the author, Tony Battaglene of the Winemakers' Federation of Australia, "has been the dramatic decline in the export sales of higher value wines."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Whatâs a decade? One-fifth of a working lifetime, in most cases: a significant span. Iâm now home after the tenth year of sitting in judgment as a panel chair for the Decanter World Wine Awards â" for Regional France on this occasion. What have I learned?]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Jefford on Monday: In Quest of The Missing Sixth   ]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[It was gold in colour, though a little deeper than usual: the colour of my grandmotherâs wedding ring. The aromas rolled out like a slow wave at the end of a great ocean: sinuous, seamless, grand. There was wax, incense, menthol, crushed walnut, cheese nestled in straw; there were summer fruits left out on an old stone wall until they had very nearly dried rigid, with just a little acid-spangled fructose left in them. The wine was banquet-like, but not a waterfall of flavour, as Montrachet is. This was, more literally, a knife-and-fork enterprise; the tannins fell softly, like wet snow. It was chewy but gentle, weighty yet lifted, gristly, quietly garrulous.]]></description>
