Bird Song Hill Vineyards
The Eyrie Vineyards
BlackCap Pinot Noir 2009
“ A bird, a mushroom, and a berry, all native to Oregon. A limited production from Heritage vines, this cuvée is composed of 20 barrels. Vinified traditionally, the song, the savor and in the sweetness of the blackcap are manifest here, in a Pinot Noir that embodies its origins.” Jason Lett. — 6 years ago
Domain Normand (Sylvaine & Alain Normand)
Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse Chardonnay 2014
Pale pale not quite ripe plum- with whitish fruit. Oak? So very subtle it's hardly if at all registering. Tart apple. A hint of sun on it but only just. Now that it's warming up a bit- some butter is melting. Nothing shouting movie popcorn. Everything about this gem is quiet. Haiku not a sonnet. Bird song not an orchestra. Not for something bold. Creamy cheese. Crusty bread. Shellfish — 7 years ago
Mission Hill Family Estate
Reserve Rosé Blend 2019
A wonderfully refreshing Okanagan Rosé from a premier producer. Salmon in color, great fruit, clean, presenting hints of green apple, strawberries and a touch of watermelon. A winner on a blue bird evening in the Canadian Rockies. 12.9% alc/vol. Cheers 🍷🇨🇦 — 5 years ago

Walter Scott
La Combe Verte Chardonnay 2017
That’s a reductive bird. Wish we could have set this aside for two hours. I am thinking it would have been a sing-song beauty. — 5 years ago
Trinity Hill
Hawkes Bay Pinot Noir 2015
Others say it’s oaky... I get a little but not in an off-putting way. For the $, this is incredibly solid. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any white meat bird. — 6 years ago
Masi
Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 1999
The red headed stepchild of my wine collection finally got some attention. I’ve owned this bottle in too many apartments. I’ve jokingly suggested open ing it to my wife too many times knowing full well she wasn’t gonna opt in.
Tonight I cooked myself a steak, and looked for that bottle no one was gonna miss. Hello Amarone. WHERE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? The nose hints at something possibly a little over the hill, and it ain’t all that enticing, but then you take a bite of steak, a nibble of mashed potatoes and sip that juice and it tastes like blackberries pushed through a dirty layer of tobacco and I am putting this funky song on repeat. — 7 years ago

A curve ball for Options this afternoon.
I had bypassed this Syrah at previous Adelaide Hill Wine Shows. I will stop bypassing and maybe B lining. — 5 years ago
