Husch Vineyards
Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2023
2023 vintage. Perfect Anderson Valley Pinot. Light ruby red, decent floral aroma once it opened up; vanilla, cherry, and a hint of spice on the nose and palate. Light to medium body in structure, very smooth finish. Enjoyed with an 8 oz filet. Not bad for under $35. — a month ago
Joel Gott Wines
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023
2023 vintage. Strong floral aromas on the initial opening with hints of spice and earthy tones. Heavy cherry and fruit on the palate with some acidity, definitely give this an hour or two to open up/expand. Not like a traditional Willamette Valley Pinot, a little more fruit forward, but not bad for the price. — 4 days ago

Silver Fork Vineyard & Winery
Nonsense Red Blend
Round two for this crisp North Carolina red blend. Tucked into the hills of Morganton, North Carolina, the family owned vineyard of Silver Fork does not disappoint and hasn’t since my first trip in 2013. The nonsense blend, encompasses Merlot, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot. Cherry, plum, licorice, and spice on the nose, medium to full bodied feel, smooth fruit forward taste, backed heavily by the strong Petit Verdot kick, which complements the Cab Franc and Merlot quite nicely. Great bottle for $30. Would enjoy again. — a month ago
Stephen Fitzpatrick
2024 vintage. Light rustic red in color, thin on the edges. Light floral aroma, with cherry and berry flavors and a hint of jam on the palate. Light to medium bodied, soft tannins with a smooth finish. Continues to open up after the first hour or two, has the right amount of spice, pretty decent Verona red blend for the price. — 3 days ago
