In the same vein....

At a tasting recently, among the forgettable wines I remembered these two....well I sort of remembered.
The first was a 1995 Gruner! How these wines exist on the market this late after release I have no idea, but it was wonderful. I bought a couple so when I get them I can fill you in on the details.
Number 2 was a TBA Single Berry Riesling 2008 from Olsen Estates in WA. Really really wonderful...I think retail is around 55 for a 375.....but way worth it. If you like stickies (aka panty droppers) go find it. The winery is about to shutter its doors so don't wait.

I also did a nice dinner at LePigeon (sp?) in Portland with some cork reps and winemakers and all that stands out was the Grahams Port...I know from the reaction of everyone else at the table (who know their port vintages) that it was a great year....and indeed it was. '84 maybe?

Someone brought a napa cab of their own making (commercial or not...not sure) and I just don't get it. Most of the Napa cabs I've had recently are too ripe and too overly oaked.
Is it just me? Too small a sampling maybe?
