QOTD: Do I drink Big O Pinots? You bet – but the prices keep climbing. Got a whole theory I’ll discuss with you later on that.
Rather ironic that the “old world” Pinot seemed to have the most “new world” character according to your comments. I loved Pinot Before Sideways (BS); honest! To clarify, I like Burgundy. The movie and you have opened my horizons to new world Pinots.
Thanks for the tips!

The last Oregon pinot i had was the Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir made by VÃ©ronique Drouhin. With her Burgundy background it was typical in style with a bit more fruit coming through. Closed at first but opened up brilliantly in the glass.
Thanks to Gary at the Arkle, a one star restaurant here in Chester, for the recomendation (check his blog out, grazzac.blogspot.com)
We almost listed the Duck Pond Pinot Noir but unfortunatly the QPR was not too good. You guys keep the best for yourselves in the USA and make it hard for us Brits to find attractivly priced wines over here.

Fancy shipping to the UK Gary???

Dude…. Oregon sounds like ‘tommy gun,’ not ‘tarragon.’ Other than that, awesome show! The NW rocks Oregon Pinot for days, so I suck it down like nobody’s business. The last really tasty one I had was the 05 Domaine Serene Yamhill Cuvee; that stuff is delicious. PS: Do another Chateauneuf-du-Pape episode!

Hey again GV,

Living here in Washington State there’s Oregon Pinot Noir aplenty – and I’m drinking it! Last Pinot Noir tasted was Domaine Serene and Eola Hills. I’ve been having fun sampling Sonoma to Central-Coast Cali. Pinot Noir beside Oregon Pinot Noir and looking for the similarities and differences.

Thanks again!

Yep, I drink Oregon pinots. The last one I had was from Et Fille, which was 1 of a flight of Pinots I had at a wine bar in the OC, Cali. I remember it being my favorite of the 3.

QOTD. I had the Owen Roe Sharecroppers. I have found that Owen Roe has consistently good wines. Hey Gary…did you have fun in Boston?

QOTD: Most recently had a Shea 2005 – not bad, but not earth shattering either. Hard to beat Penner Ash for a generally available, consistently good effort year after year, although not cheap either.

QOTD: Last Oregon Pinot I had was Domaine Serene Evenstad 2002. I really liked it but thought that there were a lot better offerings out there for the same or less money. Patricia Green comes to mind first. Not drinking as much Pinto as I used (but still buying the same ratio compated to others). I like my Pinots with a little age where they show that earthy character.

QOTD: Most recent OPN was an ‘05 Patty Green. Glad I have more.

QOTD: The most recent Oregon Pinot Noir we had was a 2005 Penner-Ash Dussin Vineyard PN and it was very, very good. Definitely more New World then Burgundian, but I still liked it quite a bit. I gave it 91 points.

QOTD: Love the Oregon Pinot’s. My folk live there, so we tend to get to do some wine tours there at least once a year. Last one we had was the Rex Hill Chehalem Mtns Cuvee Pinot – it was very good. Just bought some “Jigsaw” Pinot from Oregon – have had friends say it is an exceptional value

QOTD…We do drink them occasionally (~1X/month) and we look for Oregon or Washington St., but there are much better values out there that keeps us away from Pinots. Its hard to buy a $30 bottle of Pinot when you can find a wine with similar body that will knock your socks off at less than half the price. Very difficult to find a value driven Pinot.

Our preferred local shop is big into the Oregon PNs, so we’ve had AtoZ, Elk Cove, Chehelam, Erath and a couple others. Usually find them to be in the 87-89 range, which isn’t mind-blowing, but a pretty good QPR for Pinot these days.

QOTD: Next time we have friends over we’ll be trying 3 Willamette Valley, ORYGUN wines – a Montinore Estate Pinot Noir, as well as a pinot gris and a riesling from other wineries. Since our aim is to to sample $20 and under bottles, the EIEIO won’t make the list (though the “Ol’ McMott Had A Farm” line was almost enough to offset the $9 extra). Maybe we’ll buy a few Slim Jims as stand-ins.
