Happy V-Day Gary & family!

Good episode. Me too – Slim Jim’s 10 times a week as a kid.

QOTD: 2005 Benton Lane Pinot Noir. Excellent!

QOTD for GV: I can go to the corner wine store and buy a Buffalo Sabres Wine. Has there EVER been a NYJets Wine??

Happy Valentines Everyone! Drink wine!

QOTD: Can’t remember the last Pinot I had…I do love the Pinot…was going to celebrate the festivities tonight with a Pinot, but changed my mind to White Oak’s Cab. I also just acquired a few bottle of Sea Smoke Pinot!!!!! I’m excited!

Of course I drink Pinot! Can’t remember one from Oregon, but the last Pinot I had was called Marq I think, from Cali.

QOTD: I Only drink PinOt from the big O. Consistent and still earthy almost Old world. With wines, the great out doors, awesome fishing, and Portland music scene, I would live in Oregon if it didn’t rain so damn much.

Would love to see Cali Pinot and Burgs go toe to toe here. Sonoma Coast and Santa Barbra bring some serious thunder.

Nice focus today, GV!

I’m definitely a big Oregon Pinot noir fan.

I’ve totally had some Oregon Pinot, and it was awesome. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was darn tasty. Willamette Valley, totally good, and I even brought a bottle to my Uncle’s house for Christmas.

GV, Some crazy stuff today. LOL. No Oregon Pinot here. Can’t beat the Burgs.

Happy Valentines Day! We’re drinking our favorite Merlot…should have had it yesterday…but hey, we really like it.

QOTD: Firesteed. We like it and it’s in our price range.

QOTD: Last was a Rex Hill, about a year ago

Adrian Murrell. He was pretty good for a little while wasn’t he?

QOTD: Drink a lot of OP’s but for some reason, none lately. I think that last one was the basic Adelsheim out at a restaurant, the ‘05 I think.

That intro to the Gisele was priceless….we have all known those ladies
QOTD – none…..never had any….but in my defense our selection blows!

QOTD: Drink Pinot Noir? Sure do. Last one I had was the 2003 Lemelson Pinot Noir Cuvee X

I like Calera Central Coast Pinot Noir. The 2004 & 2003 are real standouts! Gary you should try these if you haven’t yet.

Great Show!!!

QOTD: I don’t believe Ive ever had an Oregon Pinot Noir. But then again, I usually dont drink Pinot Noir much at all and if I do, I tend to stick to wines from Burgandy. The few pinot noirs ive had from the US…more specifically California, have not ever really taken my breath away.

I feel bad because I didn’t watch the episode yet, but I am writing a comment. I just haven’t had time, I’m always 2 episodes behind. I watched the Cab Franc one last night.
But I noticed the question of the day was about Oregon Pinot Noir and I got excited because I just had some a couple of nights ago: 2006 Sharecropper’s Oregon Pinot Noir, produced and bottled by Owen Roe. For the most part it was ok, a little too hot, but good.
I did have a weird reaction to it though. After half of a glass I felt like I was having a heart attack, but oh well.
Happy Valentine’s Day everybody. Love yourselves and love eachother.

GV:
Love the Pinot Noir! My favorite has been David Bruce but I want to now track down the Eieo-O! As for tonight in Manhattan, I was out and sought out the Malebec (Argentina) per your last episode and came across a GEM!!! Thank you! Malbec is my new phase and one I am so enjoying it, as is my palate. Of course I am biased as I lived and studied in Argentina and ANYTHING from there is divine..Malbec or Rioja…the South Americans know something!
GV- How do you feel about Grenache? CA Grenache? Santa Barbara Grenache?(2005 La Fond, Santa Rita Hills). I would LOVE to know what your palate says about it. And why is it Grenache in some places and Grenacha in others?
Best,

Now you’re in my ‘hood. Being a member of the OPNC (Oregon Pinot Noir Club) I have the opportunity to try an amazing number of great Pinots from our beautiful Pacific Northwest.

QOTD: Coincidentally, right now I’m having my one of my monthly selections, an ‘05 Emerson Vineyard Pinot from Willamette Valley. Quite nice though the Amalie Robert I had over the weekend was a stunner. I need to order some of the Big O!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

P.S. I just received a brochure to the DC Intl Food & Wine Festival. Coming? Feb 29-Mar 2

The last Oregon Pinot’s I had were the Pat Green line. Before that I had a few bottles of Jigsaw. I like the fact they are not over the top like cali wines, and can actually be used with a meal.

QOTD: Yes, fairly regularly, primarily California.

The last one was a “J”, not sure what year thoguh.

LOL @ “This Lachini’s been around the block.” I can’t believe you said that.
And on Valentine’s Day, no less! You are funny. Cheers to all the Vayniacs.

QOTD: The last (and only) Pinot that I’ve had from Oregon was a Firesteed…perhaps not the best example in terms of what Pinot from Oregon is all about.

I’d love to treat my pal to a Domaine Drouhin sometime…

QOTD: I have not yet but I plan on visiting Oregon this year so soon.

2005 Domaine Des Moirots Givry. Like walking through an herb garden that you dumped your spice drawer into.

Immediately preceded by 2005 Domaine Sainte Claire Bourgogne. Borders on the new worldy, but very pleasant, and a great base for Coq au Vin

I drink lots of Oregon Pinot (and Cali Pinot, and Burgundy). Last one I drank I think was a 2002 Cristom Reserve, but it might have been a Broadley. Think it was the Cristom though. Ken Wright and Patricia Green are my favorites.

QOTD: No, I don’t – but that ain’t categorical. Oregon PN’s are just almost impossible to come by here in Finland.

HyvÃ¤Ã¤ ystÃ¤vÃ¤npÃ¤ivÃ¤Ã¤ kaikille! Happy V-Day y’all!
