I certainly appreciate the mention and support. Great to see you, Trevor!

Another suppliers of cork to DRC is Aquitaine Liege, and those are available through Thomas Savre here in the Willamette Valley, and California. Quite a few notable producers use these, they are gorgeous. I began using them as a trial alongside the steadfast 54mm DIAM 10

Very cool to see this. What’s the farming program chez Coche?

Seth M. Long

Honored.

Patrick, thanks so much for posting about and supporting this great event!

Great thread, full of the potential. Chardonnay is the 2nd biggest white wine "brand" in the world, behind Champagne. It is sold everywhere where just about anything is sold. Maybe that is the problem? Lots of sorting required. You don't have to buy the prestige bottles but you would be do...

+1 to Davenport

I read an interview of Barnaby Tuttle of Teutonic Wine Company yesterday which adds an interesting perspective to this "debate": HW: "Last year, you sent a couple of your wines in to a cannabis testing lab to see if they contained terpenes [the aromatic components in plants that give ...

Jean-Marc speaks highly of 2004. I've noted he likes to end current release tastings with 2004's; he blinded us on 04 Meix Chavaux in 2018 and 04 Luchets in 2013. Both, I recall, felt youthful though with the same mature weight Don mentions.

Easy transaction, thanks Levi.

Seth M. Long

Thank you for the note Brandon, appreciate both your and Noah's support! I haven't had that 2015 since last April, probably time for a visit. Cheers!

Seth M. Long

Great topic. Makes sense to me. Burgundy has super parcellated holdings of a thin-skinned cultivar. Perhaps with each increase in the number of bottlings, settling/racking/bottling becomes more important and harder to execute perfectly/consistently. Add to this that the wines are either lightly fine...

I really enjoyed a 2015 Cathiard Nuits village recently, and totally get Barry's notes on the 2014 Chambolle. I'm almost positive their grand cru age in 100% new oak and 1er are in 70%. Don't know what village wines get, but I bet a decent percentage. The wood integration on the 2015 NSG was somethi...

1990 Champans in October was a real pleasure. It was still firmly structured but needs no more cellaring.

Seth M. Long

I think it is fair to say that Pithon-Paillé's wines are made intentionally with low SO2, native yeasts, etc. I wonder if it is just another natural white wine showing what happens when you choose to forgo protective measures like adequate sulfur?

Seth M. Long

From Cameron's website, writing about white wine vinification:

The wines are fermented with indigenous wild yeasts from the respective vineyards and finished with a French yeast to assure dryness.

Here is what is the Willamette Valley Wineries Association is considering doing about it:

Hi Keith, That's nice to hear, I'm grateful to be included! I last tasted the '15 Sandi bottling at the A&B tasting in late April and it was wide open, right out of the bottle. The 2016's, on the other hand, definitely flourish after some air. Those will land in the UK this summer. Hope the tast...

Seth M. Long

Seth, thanks very much for the detailed, and extemely interesting response. I would love to taste the wines, and am happy to taste 2016s with you at the cellar. They’re still a few months from bottling, but are showing what a lovely vintage 2016 was in the Willamette Valley. Your expression of what...

Seth M. Long

RS left in on purpose? No, certainly not left in on purpose. I haven't been inoculating nor feeding indigenous yeasts, which would probably be the best bet for getting 0.0g/l in Chardonnay. And these wines are pretty dry at 0.3-1.3g/l. Cool, Olivier Humbrecht is on the same page. I had once written...

Great wines. Have been good from the initial vintage! Thanks Noah! Seth, How long do you think these are capable of aging with proper storage? These sound great. Tks Cary Hi Cary, thanks. I'm also intrigued to see my wines evolve, and have "built" them with the intention for improvement w...

Seth M. Long

I would really love to know a little bit more about the wines, and how you would describe them specifically? Do they lean towards a personality or style specifically, and if so what is it? Ehen were these wines bottled? What would you describe the wines as(or fruit if you helped out)? Thanks for yo...

Seth M. Long

Good morning everyone. Here is an excerpt from my 2016 release email. Really like the vintage for Willamette Valley Chardonnay and super happy with the four 2016 Chardonnays, which were sourced from three sites in the Willamette Valley: Loubejac, Willamette Valley AVA $40 Retail, first vintage worki...

Thank you David for making things easy!

My understanding it is 100% new for everything except cuvée Duvault-Blochet and possibly Corton, light to medium toasted four-year air dried Tronçais and Betranges, mostly Francois Freres.

Seth M. Long

Brandon, It was a great pleasure to spend some time with you last week! Thanks for your time and support. I appreciate you sharing your impressions as well. And, it is my view that you didn't miss a beat. I do think the conversation about residual sugar is a tricky one. Sweetness, like acidity, is a...

Seth M. Long

I'd be interested to hear more about the style of the wine or comps, as well as the cost. I'm early in exploring Oregon Chardonnay but have been pleased so far (Brittan, Winderlea, Brick House and Eyrie have been recent successes and good QPR). Hi Chris, As far as my style, wines which are transpar...

Seth M. Long

Super grateful for the support! I'm pleased with the wines and I'm excited to sharpen and share my view of Oregon Chardonnay with the world.

Seth M. Long

Thank you sir:)

Thank you sir

+1 on Gonon. Drank a few 1990 Olivieres rouge over the past few years. Alive and well.

Ken Pahlow is the best winemaker in Oregon currently.

I know Seth, and there is no resentment in my post on the other thread. Everyone has a plan for being in this industry and how they want to make it work. Over the years, I have truly come to believe that EVERYONE making wine pays their dues and earns what they have(even if it's with a big check boo...

Had the pleasure of tasting it with Seth last week. Get some of this wine. He's passionate about Chardonnay, shared his vision for the vineyard he is working with and most importantly, made a delicious wine. Thanks Anthony, really good to meet and taste with you too. Awesome lunch, look forward to ...

Seth M. Long

Very cool. I'm totally unfamiliar with this label. I thought my goal of drinking all the chardonnay in Oregon was nearly complete. Is this distributed anywhere or in any local Portland shops? Hi Brandon, as already noted, Vinopolis and Sec have it. On the list at Pigeon, Imperial, Coquine and Irvin...

Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier All single btls 750mL unless noted, purchased on release, in temperature control storage since. In PDX, buyer pays shipping, can hold until Fall. We can talk parcel offers, otherwise pricing is firm. PM or email me Chambolle-Musigny 05 - $370 06 - $160 03 - $...

Crazy to think that literally overnight, what is it, maybe $1billion+ worth of wine (mostly Bordeaux) just got around 10% cheaper to buy. And it'll get cheaper?

Water always finds its level and the Rothschild family is laughing all the way to the bank.

Seth M. Long

+1 on Roulot, H. Boillot and Lumpp. Also de Moor, P. Pernot, V. Dancer, JP Fichet are very good in no matter the appellation.

I've released the first vintage of my Willamette Valley Chardonnay welcome folks to join me at The Cleaners at SW 10th & Stark in Portland this Sunday 6/19/16 from 2pm-5pm. I'll have my 2014 Chardonnay open as well as a few wines that inspired me along with light snacks. Fathers taste free. $10 ...

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed:) My notes show consistent with yours. I'm really happy with the 2014 and the 2015 in barrel is even more exciting. Yamhill Vineyards is a south-facing site at 400'-500' with own rooted 108-clone from a 1984 planting. The vines are owner farmed, non-irrigated and rows ...
