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

😆 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!

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.

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

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.

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

Nice focus today, GV!

I’m definitely a big Oregon Pinot noir fan.

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.

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!

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??

QOTD: Yes.

2004 Domaine Drouhin Laurene` Oregon Pinot Noir (65 bones) is awesome!

winemaker’s notes:
The 2004 Laurène is vibrantly seductive with aromas of fresh cherry & red berry, and a floral mix of cherry blossoms and rose petals. These sensations follow through on the palate, with added clove and spice character. Firm, layered tannins coat the mouth, but the real stars are the rich, velvety touch and well rounded, persistent finish.

And yeah…it’s like that!

QOTD: having a Lemelson Vineyard, Jerome Reserve, 2003 tonight for VD dinner.

Do like Willamette Valley pinots, but am not convinced make the best Pinots in USA.

QOTD: Last Oregon Pinot we drank was Ken Wright 2001 Freedom Hill-delicious! However, I can’t say enough about a small vineyard from Sonoma that has spectacular Pinot Noirs- Halleck Vineyard. Their Halleck Vineyard Estate Pinot gets raves, but I love love love the Three Sons Cuvee. So beautifully balanced and silky – you have to try. Check them out and tell Jen I said hi! http://www.halleckvineyard.com

Last pino was a Pepperwood. I bought 1/2 case for about the price of the Lachini. Purchased one made in Argentina today, and will, hopefully, enjoy it this weekend. I’m on the east coast, and Oregon is many dollars away. Nice show, and have a happy………………….

QOTD: Being from the west coast, Alaska, I have had ALOT of Oregon wines lately. Most of the restaurants in my town have several Oregon wines available. A couple of popular ones here are Pinot Noir from Domaine Drouhin, Williamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Noir and Yahill Valley Vineyards.

They hate Californians up their in the “Arkansas of the Northwest” so I boycott all wines from Oregon, good as they may be. California is making some decent Pinot’s in the Carneros and Monterey areas. Slim Jim’s and Peppered Beef Jerkey with an Orange Crush, now that’s a meal.

QOTD: Last pinot I had was the 2006 echolon from france

you kick ass, good day

Gary, cool little episode today, alot from the north west lately, pretty cool since last weekend 3 out 4 bottles I opened with friends were from that region.
QOTD- yes I drink Pinot, I try everything, just haven’t had one from Oregon yet.

Last one was Domaine Drouhin and it was pretty F’n good, I have to say.

Qotd – Heck yeah! Last one was Siduri Willamette Valley.

the last oregon PN I drank was Ken Wright Cellars/Guadalupe Vineyards, 1994.

Ken is the Caymus of Oregon IMHO in that no matter what the vintage is like,
he never misses in making the most of what Nature presented that year.
