The Seahawks are my “New York Jets.” Heres to hoping they have the sense to draft a QB with the #4? pick. I love Matt, but his age/injuries leave me concerned and I dont think Seneca is going to be a QB that can take a team to the playoffs. Better to draft a good QB now and develop him even as a backup then try to find one in two years or so when you need one for SURE. Jeez I can ramble…. Meat wine!? YES!! I actually like that meaty smell in a wine. And man oh man did I eat those Oh Boy Oberto beef sticks when I was younger. Beef and pork hearts with nitrates? GIMMIE! QOTD: Ive had a few, but cant remember the last one I had. Paired it with some chocolate cake though. Pretty good combo.

Sippin on an Argyle 2006 ($21): Cherries, Bacon Fat, Leather… that’s about it…. far to “elegant” for my palate… I like Pinot… but I like em big…. A week ago I drank a bottle of Cameron Dundee hills Pinot Noir ($50)… that was spectacular….

I have more unopened bottles of PinOt at home than anything else, just haven’t been drinking much of it lately. Last was probably a Sonoma Coast bottle from Seghesio at a dinner party.

I can’t get over the bottle I had last December, Domaine Carneros Avant Garde (year?), very memorable!

I’ve had the 2002 EIEIO cuvee I in Feb. what a monster! The bouquet comes up and punches you in the nose. The fruit is so up front and finsihes off like velvet. It drank so easliy. Just had the Domaine Serene 2004 from the Williamte Valley I should have decanted it still the greatness of this came through real subtle. And if you can get your hands of a Firestead what a bargin from OR.

Wow lost 1/3 of the viewers/lurkers etc. Sorry to hear that. I guess it paid off to register.

So I am catching up on episodes. I have my WalMart plan for retiring. Now your starting to make me think about being a wine taster when I retire/hit the lottery….

QOTD – YES, YES, my wife and I went to the Big O and found some amazing Pinots. Just drive around and talk to the locals about who is making good wine and if you have to drive on a dirt road while dodgeing livestock to get to the winery, your on the right track.

QOTD: Argyle pinot was the last one I had when I was back in Cali. There are darn near impossible to find here in Burgundy. Not that I need to look for other pinot’s to drink while I am here.

Always glad to see some local wines for me (I live in Portland, OR).

I’m definitely going to look for the eieiO around town.

QOTD: I just went to the Domaine Druhin winery here in OR on Sunday, loved it.

Long Time Lurker, first time commenter here. I had to come out on the show about the BIG O.

QOTD: I do drink the BIG O. The last one I had was last week.

Living in Portland, and only minutes from the Willamette Valley, I’d have to admit it was Oregon Pinots that converted me over from mostly drinking beer (although we’ve got some awesome micro-brews here as well). With close to 400 wineries in the state, it’s really hard to chose favorites. In fact, I prefer to go to new wineries each time I run out. There’s so many great ones to try (but they’re unfortunatley getting pricey). Oops, what am I saying…Oregon Pinots…yuk…

g, yes, i LOVE PN from Oregon and Washington. around christmas time i got some Carlton Hill 2005 PN, and it was fabulous. different, sour cherries and plummy. recently tried a Yamhill Valley PN from 2004, same thing, a bit tart on the tongue, great nose, good finish. but my favorite PNs so far has been the Road’s End and Carter Vineyard, both from 2005. the perfect blend of fruit and earth, nose and mouth that made me go WOW ! i really like finding rare, small vineyard juices, and these are just that. they are between 40 and 50 bones, but totally worth the trouble and time to find it, and get it.

Hey Gary

Thanks for a good show

QOTD: NO. Living in Hong Kong the avalability isn’t there and I tend to find the price of US wines is often pretty high for the value you get.

Cheers Andrew

Loved Cheery Hill and Four Graces. As for BC they are not there yet, BC is BS when it comes to Pinot Noir.

QOTD: I hail from BC in Canada, so I tend to drink BC Pinots, which are easily as good, perhaps even better, than Oregon. BC has it’s hot Okanagon wines, but there are a lot of cool microclimates in BC too.

GV – I am a big fan of the Big “O” pinots. I traveled to Oregon in December on business and tasted wines at several of the wineries.

Here is what I have drank recently, and not so recently:
- Ken Wright Cellars – several single vineyard bottlings in my cellar
- Fiddlehead Cellars – she makes one from Willamette
- Amity Cellars
- Firesteed
- Duck Pond
- Domaine Drouhin
- Argyle

Like ‘em a lot, but they are getting pricey!

None so far but on my list to try.

Firesteed was the last that I had, they have a $13 bottle and then one that’s around $20, they’re both great for the price.
