masi Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I just love my pinot noir with a passion I can't eat dinner out without it, it will just feel incomplete. You have a very sophisticated palate, Ma'am. I find difficulty in finding a good pinot and if I do, it burns a hole in my wallet. Quote Link to comment

Maybe we should ask where she gets the Pinot. I just rely on my American friend to bring me a bottle of his Pinots. He holds about a 1500 bottle collection and loves to boast about his wines! Me, I don't mind to be in the receiving end of his boasting, as long as I drink the good stuff or take home a bottle! Quote Link to comment

Yes, to me Oregon pinots are still the best in the world.Maybe Ms. NzChick is missing out on all those wonderful whites there, I mean the sauvignon blancs and the chards. Quote Link to comment

agxo3 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) I've had a few of the Oregon Pinot in the past. I've been have alot of Sonoma Pinots. Here, here!Oregon pinots have gained a really good reputation and for good reason. However, I still like Russian River pinots. They're more drinkable younger and have. A nice earthiness to them that you don't see in such refinement with the Orgeon juice. If you can find a bottle of J, Nicole's Vineyard Pinot, maybe a 2003-2005 give it a try. I just joined the Windsor Vineyard wine club because I was so impressed with their 2007 Pinot I just had to have more. And go look for a David Bruce Pinot from the Santa Cruz hills. Truly mind blowing! But for tonight a low end Neibaum-Coppola petite Syrah - the diamond series that they are no longer producing at the Napa facility. I have some of the last they produced there and it is stellar. Smooth, jammy, dense, great mouth feel. Intense black fruit, some leather and tobacco with just a hint of tar on the back end, great depth with a long, long finish. A hint of cinnamon bordering on anise. Wow! This is a low end wine? Oh, right! Their high end is Defined by RC Reserve, the Single vineyard Four, Cask Cab, and Rubicon. Opened a 1997 Rubicon for Thanksgiving, and plan to open a 1994 Opus One or a 1998 Rubicon for XMas dinner. Segue over to a 2003 RC Reserve, and end with a 2006 Retzlaff.......my brother and family are joining us, as is my daughter and her boyfriend. Good wine for a family gathering - now THAT's a celebration! Happy holidays all! I can't spend a lot of time on MTC with my recent career change - from high-tech to building high-end modular homes.
