Oregon yes. Specifically, two from Domaine Serene, the 2004 & 2005 Evenstead Reserve and the Yamhill. Both very Yummy.

Thanks for the shoutout! You’re the best…
Qotd: I had a wilamet (sp?) valley Pinot hour a few weeks ago at a company party, but I don’t remember the winery.

(ps I sent this from my new iPhone!!)

QOTD: Never tasted an Orgeon Pinot. Not a fan of Pinot at all…..they always taste like metal to me (think paper-cut and sucking on the blood). I haven’t been serious about wine for very long, but I have tasted a few Pinot’s and that is not a flavor that appeals to me. I think I’ll a look at the forums and message boards for some suggestions!

After drinking Burgundy, I rarely drink Pinots. A bottle of the Mischeif and Mayhem Burgundy just arrived today–I’ll be looking forward to tasting that.

Cheers

QOTD: Never. I Europe, barely any U.S. wines outside from California seem to be availabe at all.

QOTD: O’Reilly’s Pinot Noir… kind of ‘meh… it unfortunately reinforced my opinion of “midrange”, U.S. pinots (aka under 20 clams). Anyone got any suggestions in the 15-30$ range that are “worth it”? The Old MacDonald one sounds interesting though…

Many OR PN over the years. When I lived in Seattle, it was widely available and was also a bargain versus Burgundy. Still have a mixed case or so. I’ve never met an OR PN that wouldn’t benefit from hibernation.

Being an Oregonian, I drink lots of Oregon pinot. Last bottle was 2006 Klee (by Chris Berg of Racine Winery) around $17 a bottle, but tough to find. As good or better than most $30 O pinots – so much so, that every time I drink it, I’m surprised how good it is . . .

I think that the Lachini has the exact same bottle as the Sea Smoke Ten, that thing has a crazy punt!
QOTD deff, gotta dabble with the O. the last one i tried was A to Z’s liked, I really want to try the Eieio though.

QOTD: Nope. Not drinking many PN’s at all really.

QOTD: Absolutely. I think a 2005 A to Z Pinot Noir was my last one.

I’ll be looking for these, but it’s difficult here in Kentucky. Maybe if I could order it from the Wine Library! Darned outdated Kentucky laws..

As an Oregon rez (not from Carlton – there are probably 53 people in the world from Carlton), SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE EUGENEANS!! I drink Oregon Pinot’s on a weekly basis.

My last one was probably an Illahe 2006 Pinot. For 20 bones, an absolute SCREAMING deal.

Yes I have tried quite a few Oregon Pinot Noirs. The last one I had was a 2004 Cottonwood Marina Piper that was elegant, feminine, and delicious. That said, I find that Oregon prices have risen faster than their quality and QPR’s are virtually non-existant. Before Sideways, Oregon was one of my favorite places for value driven Pinot Noir of quality. I also think the hype has created a situation where vintages are being sold before the wine is ready. If the winemakers could hold off releasing their wines an extra year or so they would show better. Many of the recent releases I’ve tasted seem tight and/or awkward. Unfortunately, the current market forces them to ship as soon as the latest vintage is bottled. There is also a serious defficiency of vineyards in production relative to the incredible demand for the grapes. Therein lies the dilemma of an Oregon Pinot Noir fan.

QOTD- Yes! I still love Pinot! Even though Hollywood made it damn pricey!

I especially like the Van Duzer (reserve) pinot out of Willamette Valley.

QOD: Yes, love them. Ponzi from Oregon was the last one.
When I drink new world pinot and want to splurge I usually go for one of the limited bottles from Babcock like “Ocean’s Ghost” Santa Barbara.

QOTD — no O-Pinots in several years.. While I drink PN, I rarely buy it. If I did, it would likely be from Oregon, though

Hey Gary. Happy Valentine’s Day to WL and all the Vayniacs!

QOTD: I got hooked on Pinot years ago, and all of them were from Oregon. I’ve been trying Pinots from all over lately. The last OR Pinot I had was a 2005 Saintsbury Carneros.
