  Help!Ok, ok...there's no crisis here in Dallas. However, I do have quandary. I just haven't developed an affinity for varietal New World pinot noir and I'm wondering what I'm missing. I'm looking for suggestions from you Snoothers.Keep in mind that I live in the Great (or Not So Great) State of Texas, where it's considerably more difficult to ac... Read More

  Before I retired I did a stint as chairman of Hawkes Bay Vintners (all the wineries in Hawkes Bay) and was asked to write a short article for the local newspaper. All the wineries offered tasting of most of their wines and sometimes I felt, the public didn't really understand how enthusiastic winemakers were about their product."Lets do the wine... Read More

  Evening Land Vineyards "Celebration" Eola Amity Hills Gamay Noir 2010

  Snoothrank:

  I know some people like "barnyard" on the nose, but I am not a fan. This wine drinks much better than than it smells, but it must be allowed time to open up. The barnyard nose dissipates with time and then it is rather enjoyable. Read More

  One of my favorite things about the Wine Bloggers Conference is that attendees have the opportunity to visit nearby wine country. This year's Wine Bloggers Conference was held in Portland, Ore., and being a finalist and winner of the Best New Wine Blog award during the conference gave me the privilege of being invited on some incredible pre- and...

  I am a dyed in the wool fan of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlots, Sangiovese's and a few Chardonnays and Pinot Grigio's. I am trying to widen my spectrum to include Pinot Noir's.

  Evening Land Vineyards "Celebration" Eola Amity Hills Gamay Noir 2010

  Snoothrank:

  This is crazy delicious Oregon grown organic and biodynamic Gamay that's a sort of new world homage to Cru Beaujolais. The vineyard where this fruit is sourced dates back to 1983 and the result is a funky, savory, vivacious wine that displays gorgeous red currant fruit, refreshing herbal undertones, and mouth watering acidity. A fabulous little ... Read More

  Evening Land Vineyards "Celebration" Eola Amity Hills Gamay Noir 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Matchstick and funky barnyard on the nose, but some green earthiness as well. As is opens up, the barnyard aroma softens and is less offensive. Pale, transparent ruby red. This looks much more like Pinot Noir than Gamay, and is extremely lean and acidic on the palate. Some tart red fruit and minerality to spare. Medium finish. On the whole, on... Read More
