2016 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Willamette Valley - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley (3/21/2019) Popega'd straight from the UPS guy and paired with Lamb Kabob and Salad for a quick but memorable lunch. This wine is free of sediment or haze but the appearance would lead you to believe it's g...

The previous wind gap closeouts have been good. The Syrah was very good and the 2015 pinot I'm drinking now is an excellent wine.

I've had the pairing a few times and it was good but what was much better for me from Matt was Hilt's old guard. Certainly not a QPR Champion but some tasty juice.

Thanks for the notes... I've visited a few of those and look forward to visiting many more. We will be staying at Hotel Oregon next time for sure. My wife loved that place and we didn't even stay there.

It's great to see this Vineyard and this variety get some notice. I've been working with the variety for a couple years now and absolutely dig it. I'm not fortunate enough to get fruit from this revered sight, but I dig what I am able to produce with the fruit hat I get. That Bechtold fruit is pret...

Not sure why this wine doesn't get much attention around here. Excellent AFWE California Chardonnay that doesn't taste like it's from California. Reminds me most of Vincent Wine Companies excellent Chardonnays. Ian Brand did a fantastic job. NOTE: Switched from screwcap to natural cork in 2017. 2017...

Yes, I'm excited to taste the Trout Gulch as well. Had the Alfaro Estate recently and it's quite good especially for the price, Ceritas just showed up the other day as well but haven't dipped into that quite yet.

I'll be there Jorge

2000 David Bruce Pinot - Central Coast

I'm in

2017 Kutch Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (3/13/2019) Pobegad from FEDEX man. Gone in less than an hour. Bright Strawberry leads on the nose and palate. Strawberry and tart cherry bounce around on the palate with this playful joy. Great acidity and med finish...

I'm in

Wilde Farm.

You've been forewarned.

Have two vintages from two different BDay's. Need to pop one. Not surprising after tasting the Halcon and the Bedrock

Sean

I so wanted to get down to Monterrey for that event but work schedule did not allow. Seems like I missed a great dinner

My favorite sub-$40 Chardonnay region these days is the Willamette Valley. Lots of great chard being produced and much of it is well under $40. You could start with: Vincent Tardive <$30 Goodfellow Richard's Cuvee and Durant <$35 (Berserker day deal!) Walter Scott Cuvee Anne < $35 So many other goo...

All in as usual. They were kind enough to switch out my allocation of 750's for 375's. Hoping I might be able to drink them in less than 20 years but I somehow doubt it. The last few 20 year old Montebellos from 750 needed another 10 years. No Brainer, purchase and I also visit and enjoy tastings 3-...

Last time you spoke like this you turned me on to Birichino that I now love. Will have to seek some out....

Sean

Showed real restraint at a case including wish list. Lets see what wishes get granted....

Sean

Quite a lineup all the way around....

Marcus is being humble. His WV Pinot, Chardonnay, and Whistling Ridge Blanc are under $20 and they are lovely elegant wines. Many of Vincent's cuvees both Chard and Pinot are around $19-21 as well... Cameron WV Pinot can be had for ~$15 but the Dundee Hills at $25 IMO is a much better wine. Cameron ...

Sorry love to attend but will be utah for ski week.

Goodfellow, Every wine in his lineup is just yum. Walter Scott, Vincent, Partrica Green and Heater Allen Brewing (right next to Ayrie and Goodfellow) I wish had time to taste at Kelly Fox last trip. For me Arterberry Maresh is good but too extracted. I think their chard is better than their pinot. D...

Sounds like a winner to me.... So far everything I've gotten from Wilde Farm has been top notch especially at the BD pricing. Great QPR... They offer good futures pricing during the year as well.....

Sean

I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to glasses and the most expensive ones I've bought were the Reidle Vinum varietal specific glasses and Enjoyed them. Last year we visited Oregon and everyone and I mean everyone was pouring in these. Ended up getting some on sale at a McMinnville gift shop for $10 a...

Yall kill it. My credit card is smoking after 64 bottles....

BTW, while I didn't view all the various offerings, IMO the coolest one of the day had to be Goodfellow's return/rebirth of the Berserkers Cuvee! I think my Mom & Dad went through three cases of Jim Anderson's 2014 version, and even if we can't do it every year, it's great to see this continue to o...

64 bottles from 8 producers. Tapping out....

Sean

Contemplated the case of 14's before but passed. Saw the 6 pack and jumped on it.

Thanks Bill

I'm reasonably sure Ceritas sells out every offering, without any help from the critics. They certainly seem to sell out every offering but its hard to say the effect of the critics because they have earned some hefty scores in the past which may contribute to the demand? Who knows... I certainly e...

In for a case.... 3rd year in a row for Carignane. Its become a favorite. Glad to see the Chardonnay and the Bubbles in the mix this year in addition to Carignane and Pinot.

Sean

Was fortunate to taste through most of these at Harrington open house in December and stocked up at the time. I enjoy all these wines but the Cedar Crest Cabernet Franc and McEvoy Syrah are quite special.

Hey Marcus- I’m in for the following:

2 Bob Hughes
2 Sean Smiths
1 case of the Greg T (I assume that would mean 6 of each bottle?)?
1 case of the Travis Fantz

Love it. Go Big or Go Home.....

Sean
Gueax Tigers!

At the end (beginning?) of my first BD, informed by reading past threads: Tercero 6 pack rose Briceland mixed 6 pack Franny Beck 6 pack Valeta mixed 6 pack EMH Black Cat 3 pack Loring mystery 6 pack Virage 4 pack mini-vertical Riverain 3 pack cab With still a couple more to go tomorrow, assuming my...

Goodfellow was the standout from our visit the the WV this past summer. We ordered a case and cannot keep our hands off of them. Funny. My wife and I had the same experience! Visited, bought case, became huge Goodfellow fans. Marcus - I will be ordering another case this year, either during BD or s...

So...do you all remember last year when we did a brief sneak peek at the Auctions? Are our GCC members willing/wanting to do that again? Just a little 15 minute window (maybe 30...) to take a peek, then it goes away until tomorrow around noon???? Are we doing that again this year.... My card is alr...

Cant wait to try the Berserker Cuvee. The Bien Nacido and the Cortada Alta are sublime. Unfortunately the Cabernet which is amazing is not in the offer. If you haven't tried the Sandler cabernet Sauvignion then you should.

Sean

1st time buyer in for a reserver 6 pack.

2 Cases flys free on Southwest every day.......

Killer wines.... Just tasted through a few of these last weekend. The Monte Bello Rd Cabernet is spectacular.....

Totally stoked that somehow I have an named offer. Even more excited about the Travis Frantz

Todd,

In for a 4 pack. Sorry I missed you last year on our trip to WV.

Sean

New Customer. Mixed 6er from an airplane in Istanbul headed to Serbia

A few yeas ago we did an old Zin themed birthday party. Well over a dozen Zins from 1935 to early eighties, a few each from the '50s and '60s, with a bunch of '70s. Different producer for each wine. Don't recall any being dead. A few weren't great, but most were excellent to stunning. Note that mos...

Thanks for the note. What was the price of the 2015 Eric Forrest PF? I've always enjoyed Jadot PF for what it is and the price. $30 full retail. I was able to scoop over a case for $16 each on clearance. grouphug Thanks Mark for the note.... Surprising since Burgundy is dead at retail and this came...
