Interest rates dip slightly
Interest for 30-year mortgages dipped last week to equal the lowest in six weeks. These lower rates not only encourage those looking for homes, but have caused refinancing applications to increase as well. While applications for new mortgages increased 1.3 percent, refinancing applications increased 6.9 percent over the previous week according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Freddie Mac reports that the average rate for a 30-year fixed loan last week was 4.27 percent, down from 4.34 percent the prior week. Still, that rate is .86 percent higher than last year at this time.

Vintages: Review and preview
We have started to see some of the wines from the troubled 2010 vintage here in our market so it seems a good time to update you the consumers on what we think of the wines so far. Last year was one of the worst recent vintages for all of the western appellations with California experiencing the coldest summer in 50 years, followed by an intense four-day fall heat wave, and the Northwest experiencing an early cool down in the fall. This for both areas led to long hang time, but slow or no ripening followed by early rains that caused many of the varietal crops in California to rot on the vine ultimately being dropped and never harvested.
