I think he’s asking you to post the notes directly here rather than the link.

To much trouble to upload the photos again.

Great to see that David and Amy are getting more fruit out of their vineyard project. I know it’s been a labor of love for them. I’ll have to stop by early on Friday and pick up a few things…

Bob, you visit the loveliest places.

I thought French asked bloggers not to post drive by links, but instead at least provide some if not all of the content here. Really, I’m yanking your chain Bob…and I didn’t think about the pictures. Wouldn’t want to see lots of people doing this though. JMHO

I wouldn’t want to see lots of people yanking Bob’s chain either.

I stopped by Westrey today and tasted through their wines, and would generally concur with Bob’s assessment. I did like the 2007 Reserve a little more than Bob though. I ended up buying the 2008 Oracle - I’m just a sucker for Dundee Hills fruit!

I also talked to Jason Lett and heard that they are already sold out of 2008 Chardonnay.

I also liked the 07 Reserve, even better after airing overnight. Have they released the 08 Oracle?

The 2008s that have been released are the Willamette Valley, Justice, and Oracle.

I would assume that there is an Abbey Ridge as well that will probably be released (and I will buy because I love that vineyard) in the Spring.
