We did a short wine tour (4 wineries) in the Willamette while up for BFNA one year, it was awesome. I was definitely sold on Pinot Noir after that
One of the beer distributors in state has been bringing in some wines as well. Thought I'd give them a shot. This^ specific bottle has a really jammy raspberry thing going on up front. I don't care for the name of the winery at all.
I also had a Mosaic dry hopped wine from Field Recordings over the weekend. Tasted and drank like Sprite. Opened it up during a blind bottle share to mess w people. Total crusher.
If anything, these wines just go down so much easier than beer in the evening. Beer can feel like I'm drinking bread sometimes versus a pour of stronger, but less filling wine.
This is great. Nice funky tartness. Bing cherries. I need to grab a couple more for summer. They have a white with the same name that I bet is good.
Drank this beaut the other night while finishing up a batch of homebrew.. was not disappointed!
If any of you are familiar with Stolpman Vineyards, I work for them on the side, and can hook you up with some nicely discounted prices. And if you're in CA and pass through Los Olivos, drop me a line and I'll set something up.
Any Combe Trousseau wines?
Should have waited until it was 1000 degrees for this, but I dig it.
We might have a little bit left of the Combe wines. We practically sold out on presale. But I can check. There is still availability of the So Fresh wines. If you're not familiar with the So Fresh line, they're all carbonic, sans soufre.
Last nights staff tasting. Fucking remarkable.
Amazing lineup. How did the 14s show?Last nights staff tasting. Fucking remarkable.

This pét nat rose from Field Recordings was great last night. I need to find the dry-hopped one they did.
That Stolpman 'Love You Bunches' is insanely good. I'd take ALL of that.
I had the La Cuadrilla at some point recently, I dug it. I might have to seek out others.
I've only had the dry hopped Mosaic one and it was great. I heard just yesterday they do a Nelson version which sounds amazing. I need to try their regular line up too.This pét nat rose from Field Recordings was great last night. I need to find the dry-hopped one they did.
The 14s were amazing. The Allemand Chaillot in particular was insane.
The entire So Fresh line is amazing. The GDG (gamay) is fucking awesome. Let me know if you want some Bunches
The current Caudrilla is really good. Best vintage yet, in my opinion. Its kind of our table red, so if you like that, I highly recommend checking out the syrahs, grenache, and the sangi is ridiculous too.
