Under $30.00 Oregon Pinot Noirs

Many, many of them. And several under $20.00.

Chef, I bet they are all good to yummy, but I do not see one Stone wolf but, in the bunch. We need to let people in on Linda's wines...or would that maybe drive the price up and we need to keep it to ourselves?

Thanks for the list. That's a lotta wines under $30.00. I've purchased a few of those out here, and paid over $30.00 for most. I may have to place an order in the near future. The Cottonwood Marina Piper was one of the best pinots I've ever had. Different vintage though.

I'll have to ask her if she wants to sell more wine than she's selling. (I think I know what the answer will be).

All of their wines I've had have been good.

I tasted a bunch more yesterday. A lot of 2007s, a few 2008 barrel tastings. Very few under $30.00 though. Cheapest Penner-Ash were around $40.00. Aramenta had a Willamette Valley pinot noir at 28 bucks. Le Cadeau Red Label was 29. Cheapest at Beaux Freres was 45. Patricia Green had a 2007 Reserve for 25. Nothing under 58 at Domaine Serene. They have underwhelmed me lately. Although I must say I was much more impressed with the barrel tasting of the 2008s - Guadeloupe and Gold Eagle. Troon wines were very good, too. But, not cheap.

Finished my day at Vidon with Don Hagge. What a great way to finish the day. Not inexpensive, but he makes wonderful pinots.

It was a long day. I don't spit. Spitting is impolite.

For those of you here locally that get the Sunday Oregonian, Matt Kramer wrote another article about the 2007 Oregon Pinots. He does a much better job than he did last time. There certainly are some very good ones but it will come down to what style you are looking for. I am still waiting for my sales rep to bring the Stone Wolf by to taste. Hopefully that will be this week.
