Gary, Konrad pinot noir from New Zealand. Great stuff, and inexpensive($18-$20). You’ve said it before, New Zealand is the way to go for pinot.

Best Pinot I’ve had recently (below the price points of these) is the Morgan 12 Clones Pinot Noir. Paid $17 for it and would pay twice that if I could find it around here again.

I’m just excited that I have a new term to add to my purchasing vocabulary: “Mother-punching good wine.”

Yea, where is my gravatar, I demand instant gratification

one more try!

Anderson Valley Pinot Festival is the weekend of May 18th and i will ride the Harley up there for the event!

106 ?

92 on AP Vin, but 93+ on the Arcadian? an obviously fantastically better wine? What the? I like AP Vin as well, but a 90 – 91 at best. (Caveat: I haven’t had the APV 05 yet, but I guess I won’t anytime soon)

nards? wow thats a crazy “Monster Squad” nostalgic blast to it.

Hi Gary! I’m back. I wrote last year when the Pats played the Jets in the playoffs. Man they’re good again. I wrote about 2001 Italian BdM’s back then and now I’m onto Pinots

Regarding Pinots – I have to say there are many great pinots in the $20-$30 range – I’m enjoying a 2005 Byron Santa Maria Valley as we speak – lots of character.

I’m also a big fan of the 2005 Cristom Mt. Jefferson. I wish you offered that. I’m a big Cristom fan.

Video game: Maybe it was the sound from going up stairs in Kung Fu or Castlevania…

qotd makes me think of requesting a vin jaune episode for some odd reason

Have had Breggo and AP Vin, good stuff. Love Kosta Browne, Goldeneye, Ketchum, Sequana, Amphora. QOTD-entertain yourself. http://www.winelx.com
