Failla
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2013
Really great opening notes with slightly acidic aftertaste, like meeting a really hot girl who later informs you she liked the show Friends. Excellent wine and easy to drink. — 9 years ago

Washington State Syrah 2011
So I read an article on Washington state syrahs and was jazzed to try this one as it's supposed to be the bee's knees. Not a fan- it's just too sour for me despite a nice consistency. Is that grapefruit? Warhead candy? I remember once making a girl cry when I gave her a Warhead (I claimed it was a piece of gum) after she dissed my tevas. — 10 years ago

Bergström Wines
Cumberland Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2013
One of my favorite wines in this price range. Great flavor and very drinkable. Such a steal and value at $50. Like drafting Joe Montana in the third round. — 9 years ago
De Loach Vineyards
Private Collection Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2013
Not for me. It tasted like a what I thought wine tasted like after trying my dad's glass when I was 10. The wine seems heavy handed, bordering on tart with none of the subtleties requisite in a good Pinot. Side note- my father's attempt at a European upbringing would backfire when I drank a bottle of his vermouth in middle school and threw up in his closet. — 10 years ago
Evening Land Vineyards
Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012
Really solid Willamette wine that I think drinks a little better if not chilled. Lots of fruit- perfect for a warm summer night outside. Unless you live in Houston. (also coincidentally where the vineyard owners hail). — 8 years ago
Bodegas Ramón Roqueta
Gran Reserva Las Barracas Catalunya Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Surprisingly easy to drink for what came to about a $7 bottle of wine with the recent WSJ Wine Club deal. Perfect for bringing out when you have lots of people over on whom you don't want to spend any dough. Like in-laws. Or creationists. — 10 years ago
Elk Cove Vineyards
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2013
Drinks amazingly well for such a young wine. Outstanding subtle flavor profile. Interesting fact- Elk Cove is the name of the Oregon town in the 80s classic "Overboard." I wish I could drink this wine at the badass putt putt course that Kurt Russell builds at the end. — 10 years ago

Awesome just a bit chilled. — 5 years ago
