[Crippled Girl] Flip Flop Wines: A (tasty) Review: Amanda and I tried two white wines (Pinot Grigio, Riesling) and a red (Pinot Noir).

[Wine and Good Food] A Tasty Oregon Pinot Noir- Soléna 2009 Grand Cuvée Pinot Noir ...: Last weekend I dined at one of my favorite spots in South Orange County, Nick’s Laguna Beach. Nick’s is a wonderful restaurant on the Pacific Coast Highway in the middle of downtown Laguna with delicious food. Some of my favorites include the fried deviled eggs, ahi tartare, blackened halibut sandwich, and pan roasted salmon. They also have a small but wisely selected wine list. For our dinner we split a bottle of Soléna 2009 Grand Cuvée Pinot Noir from Oregon.
[Bigger Than Your Head] Bigger Than Your Head » Two Pinot Noirs from Toad Hollow, One a Rosé: The Toad Hollow Eye of the Toad Dry Rosé of Pinot Noir 2010, Sonoma County, is not a saignée rosé, in which some juice is bled off from the tank before fermentation to concentrate the resulting wine (i.e., less juice to the same amount of skins).

[The Classic Gentleman] Pietra Santa Pinot Noir is Tasty Juice « The Classic Gentleman: Pietra Santa 2009 Pinot Noir (Cienega Valley) for 15 bucks = good buy! I mean it. On my palette, this juice produced a taste of bright berry flavors cherries and raspberries. The finish has undertones of vanilla, cedar and earth. It is not bombastic and fruit forward but more like a laid back burgundy. For me, it was a perfect partner for dinner tonight –

[Mt Tabor Fine Wines] RED BURGUNDY FROM SMALL DOMAINES; BENCHMARK PINOT NOIR ($20) July ...: Over the many years weve been in business here in Portland Oregon, weve developed some very close relationships with some of the tiniest, “quality at all costs” Pinot Noir producers in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Not only are many of these Oregon Pinots not available out of state, most only sell to a few wine shops and restaurants in Oregon.
[Picnic Wine Co. Blog] Whats next for Picnic Wine Co? | Picnic Wine Co. Blog: We obviously are on the hook for the final decision, but it helps to mitigate our (my) sometimes un-realistic ideas with suggestions anchored more firmly in the marketplace; personally, I’d love to make an ice-wine, a Grenache Blanc out of Grenache Noir grapes, or even a wine from grapes further afield of CA, like Utah, but these are the kind of ideas that make Grant and Jeff groan and roll their eyes, so I tend to keep them to myself.

Sadly, Wells told me that the opportunity recently arose to purchase this site, which he greatly respects.
