My choice is Pinot Noir and I have already given you a couple of Pinot’s to pick up if you have a large group to feed, but I think I will choose a Ponzi Pinot Noir 2002 from Oregon’s Willamette Valley I first reviewed in Winecast 8, with White Rose Estate Pinot Noir 2002 as my back-up bottle (although I might be tempted to call an audible and drink this one first!). Another tradition we have is to start off the festivities with a glass of Beaujolais nouveau. This year I have 4 of them to taste for an upcoming podcast, but probably will pull the dependable Louis Tete bottling, like my podcast buddy Alan, a.k.a. The Cellar Rat, already has.

Great reviews of the local Dundee wines!! Thanks for stopping by our region and getting the word out! One comment... something any Oregonian will tell you. "Willamette" isn't pronounced "will-uh-mett". It rhymes with "dammit". We in Oregon have a special saying to help tutor the pronunciation... <i>"It's Willamette, dammit."</i> I love the winecast! It's a great idea executed with class and light hearted professionalism. Perfect! I know this is a very late reply to this podcast episode, but I searched for Oregon wines and found this post.

I admit it looks suspicious, but my Portland trip was on the calendar for some time. It was just a happy accident that I was able to make a show around it. Thanks, Karl, for your comment.

But the real question is how were you able to secure a 'business trip' to Oregon at just the right time (wink, wink). Really enjoyed hearing about each winery and their offerings. It's also refreshing to hear that you don't have to spend the extra money for the special editions to get a great wine. I also appreciated hearing the pro and cons of the Stelvin (screwtop), synthetic cork, and real cork. Another superlative show, Tim!
