Last year I really enjoyed visiting Oregon for the first time, and developed a liking for Oregon Pinot Noir. Here's a really good one that I cracked open last night, and am finishing off tonight. Torii Mor Pinot Noir La Colina Vineyard 2006 Dundee Hills, Oregon Winemaker Jacques Tardy has used one-third new oak for this single-vineyard Pinot. It... [[ This is a content summary only.

Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Millarium Cellars. I can’t find any information about this wine. And I also neglected to write down the alcohol content, though it had a real cork. I think it was about 14%. Even after some extensive Googling, I know nothing about these wines or the vineyard or [...]

This time of year, wine writers do their best to graft a wine choice onto a dinner that does not really go well with wine. Bland turkey with side dishes running from sweet to rich and savory presents too complex a meal for a single wine to complement successfully. Most wind up recommending something like pinot noir or an oaked chardonnay as the least dissatisfactory, or they give up entirely and recommend...

Since Suggesiton #6 involved a wine I couldn't even sell, these next suggestions center on wines exclusively availabe at Frankly Wines. OK, the wines aren't exclusive to my store, but I dare you to find all these ones at any one place…other than Frankly Wines! All horn tooting aside, last year, it became very clear that many customers really don't want to think too much about what they're serving...

Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy, France. Pinot noir. 13.5%. Cork. Approx $A150. Like a wiry adolescent who has just broken wind, this will hopefully blossom in time, developing more generosity and grace. At the moment it has a hard shell which cracks only somewhat with food. A good friend thought it smelt like bratwurst (smoke and small goods), I was more inclined to call it a fart. . . There was also...

As I write this my turkey is thawing (Saturday prior to the big feast) and I will certainly brine my bird and then fantasize about all the wonderful wines--both reds and whites, bold ones and more finessed ones which will be served up during the multi-course celebration. As you will find when reading (NW's) post from a previous year, whatever you do, don't think, "Turkey= poultry= white wine."...
