It's Friday, 10/02/09...What Is Everyone Drinking This Weekend?

Bob_Hughes · October 2, 2009, 11:28pm

Friday night is pizza night at the Hughes household, so I just pulled the corks on an '06 and '04 Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva.

Tomorrow, I’m heading over to a friend’s for some random drinking and grilling. These guys enjoy wine, but are not collectors, so I stood up a six-pack of:

1993 Ridge Zin (I forget if it’s Geyserville or LS)
1993 Ferrand Lartigue
1981 LLC
2004 Vieux Telegraphe CDP (Le Crau?)
A 2004 Vacqueras from somebody?
And I’m drawing a blank on the 6th bottle (you can tell I put a lot of thought into this

No plans for tonight.

Tomorrow I’m headed to a Thomas Keller/French Laundry/Bouchon inspired dinner.

Welcom, Karen!

Tailgater at Autzen Stadium tomorrow. Smoking 9 racks of babybacks in the morning, figure Pinot and Pork is a good combination.

Will do a flight of 06 Oregon Pinot Noir’s:

Shea Homer
Lemelson - Meyer Vineyard
Antica Terra
Patton Valley
Ponzi Reserve
Ken Wright - Shea

Hope the rain holds off, both for the Oregon harvest and the ball game.

Go Ducks!!!

Be careful, Steve, soon you’ll be at 20 posts, then you can’t call yourself a lurker anymore!!
