Popped this on NYE to ring in a fresh era of groundbreaking chards and was taken aback by the sticky toffee pudding palate. The Grgich was hot on the nose with a butterscotch caramel finish that would pair nicely with a Gouda or a lobotomy. If butterscotch is your jam you will love this, though personally I find this wine to be a velour hoodie compared to the waxed canvas jacket of Oregon chards (e.g., Kelly Fox, Durant). Do with this info what you will. 🤷🏻‍♀️ — 2 days ago

Loved the 2017 with pizza, alongside garlic grilled chicken and with a meaty ribeye. Yeah we probably stretched it, but if any bottle could be the equivalent of the giving tree, it’s the bruciato. — 5 years ago

Light bodied pinot. Great to slap down with burgers or steak but still delicate enough to sip on during aperitivo. — 5 years ago

Here we have another Pinot I Didn’t Hate. This one imparts a buttery flavor that finishes balanced and smooth. It was full of vim and panache night one, then carried us through a crispy gnocchi sausage number the next evening. Good show. — 3 months ago

File this under Pinots I Didn’t Hate. Smooth and velvety, this ruby knockout goes down easy. We paired it with some real pedestrian food - rice one night, burgers another, but the juxtaposition of this silky, refined number against the simple, brutish flavors was outstanding. She’s a keeper this one. — 4 years ago

Another fantastic Loire white that makes you feel the crisp sea air while you’re shoveling clams into your mouth. Shame I opened this mid-August when it should really have been on the table all summer. Also a shame my husband never got to try it but you snooze you lose with Loires in this household. Still a great white to be paired with seafood, thai, or roasted chicken. Would be great for thanksgiving too. — 5 years ago

This is the Tualatin Estate Vineyard 2019 vintage. You could drink this with hearty fall or root vegetables and some caramelized sausage for a real tastebud treat, but why would you want to when it’s this good all on its own? — 5 years ago
