Ageless Wine You Can Drink Right Now!
August 11th, 2009 at 11:09 am (Uncategorized)
So much for my plan to write weekly on this Wine Blog. So sorry but a million life events knocked the virtual pen right out of my hand. I’m happy to tell you that our lovely summer white wine is doing quite nicely and I’m happily selling it at the Forest Grove Farmer’s Market every Wednesday for the next several weeks.
And now we’ve added the first bottling of the estate Pinot Noir. This is an especially wonderful wine: beautiful color, very smooth and full to the taste, floral aroma, long finish to it. Tastes are fruity and chocolaty – sweet and sensual. This is the ageless wine you can drink right now. It is young but most people taste it and can see that it is going to develop into something quite spectacular.
Jim is even willing to say that, yes, he has made some very good wines!
We’ll also be at Forest Grove Uncorked this weekend, August 15th. I love that kind of selling because I get to talk to interesting and charming people who seem pleased to taste the wine and talk about it – and life in general!
Let me tell you about the Wine Angel…I had to go to Singapore in July for my job, which didn’t allow for too much sightseeing – probably a good thing since it is VERY HOT in Singapore and you can’t stay outside too long. One jaunt took us to a fabulous Art Deco- style building with a several story high bar that is the lobby. The bar, called Divine, features a five or so story wine storage case that soars over the bar. Bottles of wine are retrieved by a fetching Wine Angel wearing a silver, scanty angel costume and wings. She flies up to the retrieve the bottles in an art deco basket on pulleys. I wish I could show you a picture but none are allowed inside. Instead, here’s a shot or three of the building itself.
