Last week’s pinot grigio and pinot noir were really showing well, the hits of the day. I had ordered the pg because the label I had gotten before was out, and now I definitely like this one better. Also, the Panther Creek pinot noir sold out. so we are out there looking for more. It’s an interesting wine in that it is a blend (“cuvee”) of different vintages, probably because ’06 was a difficult year in Oregon. In any case, it was showing very well indeed, definitely the wine of the day.<\/p>\n
