November’s 4th Friday was a big hit. There is no way I’ll be able to upload all the wines, nor give them the reviews they deserve, but there were a few worthy of mentioning!

New wine to me but right up my Syrah alley. Not as much funk driven as it is savory driven. Leaps from the glass with whole cluster aromatics of stems, sweet peppercorn spice, and very pure rhubarb tart. Light on the palate with added floral notes, smoked meat, iron and a finish of black pepper. Would like to try this again. Thanks

If you go to Royal Blue Grocery and they have some Egly-Ouriet under $100, let me know!

I shoot you a text if I see anything. I’ve seen it in there plenty of times. Kogod sells the traditional grand cru for around $90

I know Clare can get it for around $99-100. I’m trying to find it below $90, and with no shipping.

Brut Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir Rosé 2018

Pretty color of light pink with a golden hue.

Nose of fresh raspberries, citrus, limes, light yeast, green apples, light earth, herbs and minerals.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity, and medium plus sized bubbles.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, limes, light watermelon, under ripe cherries, minerals, light yeast and spices.

Long finish with tangy cranberries.

This is a delicious Sparkling Rosé from Oregon. Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Complex and entertaining.

This 7 year old Sparkling is still young, but already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the 5 to 7 years.

I had the 2017 vintage a year ago and loved it as well.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Aged on the lees for 5 years. Disgorged in 2024. A small production of less than 3,000 bottles.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$75.

Spring Mountain District Barbera 2016

By far, this is the best American wine I have had in my life. Apart from that, my wife and I had the privilege of enjoying it with our best friend and his family over a delightful dinner( thanks Stephen and Jenni). Despite the privilege of the company we had the opportunity of sipping a very exclusive bottle of barbera from Barnett vineyards (only 2 barrels produced ). Notes of cinnamon, dates and roses. Dried basil and spices on the palate. It was an enriching and pleasant experience. — 7 years ago

Delicious Barbera from Barnett Vineyards! Wine is meant to be shared with those closest to us and we did certainly that this past weekend!! Thick velvety notes of dried strawberries, fresh blackberry and blueberry jam, mocha/chocolate, and vanilla. Slightly higher alcohol than one might expect from Piedmont and more refined (not as spicy) given the age in oak barrels.

Brut Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2018

Light yellow in color with a golden hue.

Strong nose of citrus, brioche, lemons, green apples, herbs, light yeast, minerals, spices and sea salt.

Medium plus in body with high acidity.

Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, tart green apples, minerals, light yeast, sea salt, light earth and herbs.

Long finish with limes and lemons.

This is a very tasty 7 year old sparkling wine from Oregon. Still young but already enjoyable. The nose is already very pretty, but the palate needs more bottle time.

Nicely balanced, engaging and interesting. Fruit forward and complex. Crisp and refreshing.

Starting to drink nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime, when the complexity comes in.

Not bitter, and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Aged on the lees for 5 years. Disgorged in 2024. A small production of less than 3,000 bottles.

Wow. Pinot from Argentina! And it was fantastic. If I tasted this blind, I probably would have called Oregon or burgundy. Super funky upon opening with a bit of iron and stewed red and black fruit. After time in the glass, distinctly stemmy/herbaceous notes showed the use of whole cluster. Rose petal and black cherry finish. Very good structure. Such a cool wine provided by @Arden Barnett . — 7 years ago

Cool! I just picked up 3 bottles, along with some of the same producer's Chard. Will try both this weekend.

@Shay A the 17 Chard is pretty good. Better than I was expecting in terms of balance. Really nice as it warmed and opened up.
