‘I’m quite bored by it and I’m almost taking a nap.’

    Interesting double blind, I do think your dislike for BF had more to do with the vintage. 08 Is a much better year than 07 in Oregon. I’m not defending BF but I think its a little unfair to compare these two vintages. QOTD I would like a flip camera and 2 G’s to get my car fixed.

  • It is not fair to compare a 2007 vintage with a 2008 vintage. Shame on anyone if they did not make a wonderful pinot from the Willamette Valley in 2008. 2007 was another story. Not only was it a more challenging harvest, the characteristics of the 2007s are very different and this vintage needs to be layed down for 5 years to begin to see the characteristics of this vintage begin to shine.

    Why would Gary compare wines from 2 different vintages? If you’re a wine geek you’ll know that the 2007 vintage in Oregon was considered a “lesser” year, and that the 2008 is considered a stellar year. Unfair comparison! I might even go as far to say that it was a cheap shot.

    QOTD: Seriously Good Health and of course good wine, especially a Dain pinot noir, a Pines 1852 Zin and a bottle of Krug Rose….an ’02 Cristal would be nice. Also shipping to NJ from other state’s wineries, without having to finnagle ways to get your wine back home without paying exorbitant prices. Hear that Santa? 🙂 🙂
