The gathering of the winos has begun for the new year. Today's theme was Pinot Noirs. Sta Rita Hills vs Oregon (Dundee Hills, Chelhalem Mtns & Yamhill Carlton Dist)
It was really evenly divided amongst the 2 areas , 10 bottles from Oregon and 11 from the Sta Rita Hills.
I liked the Patricia Green & the Stags Hollow from Oregon and the Ampelos, Foley and Clos Pepe from the Sta Rita Hills. I was disappointed in my bottle of 2005 Loring, Cargasacchi. I expected something better since it was a high rated wine. It just did not live up to my expectations
As always we had a great selection of appetizers and the host grilled pork tenderloins. Off to a good start for the new year and I hope all the subsequent tasting are as good.
