Oregon. "Whole Cluster Fermented."
This one wasn't a bad quaffing PN at $14, with good varietal fruit, though it had the nose and weight of a Cru Beaujolais. My wife drank it pretty fast, though I only had a sip -- on meds after a pretty horrible car wreck earlier this week. With the Queen of Hearts PN at $9.99, this one isn't going to make the cut as a "house pinot," but we only bought one anyway, so it's fine. Alc. 13.5%.

Very sorry to hear about the car wreck. Hope you and it are in good repair. I find Vintage Port to be the best medicine.

Hope you're ok, Dan!

Adding my wishes for a quick recovery.

Thanks, all. The wreck was pretty bad (my SUV was hit on the driver's side, flipped on it's side, and pushed across an intersection and into a power line pole that crushed the roof and windshield), but I came out of it mostly unscathed. Seatbelts.
I'll plan to explore the Vintage Port treatment plan . . .

Wow! Sounds like a bad one! Seat belts are a wonderful invention, as are SUV's. I hope I never have to drive an itty-bitty car ever again.

Dan!!! That sounds terrible!! We hope you're doing well. That sounds like something we've seen on Spike TV - World's Scariest Police Videos. Watched that one almost twice, but the host Sheriff John Bunnell is a jerk. Glsd to hear you made it out fine. Vehicles can be replaced, you can't. Hope to see you and Anne next year in Sonapanoma - or wherever.

Health above all. Glad to hear that you are okay.
- dananne - 09-21-2005
Thanks again, all, for your thoughts.
And KC, Anne and I are planning on Sonapanoma.

Dad-Burnett Dan so sorry to hear about the wreck. I've driven enough in Atlanta to know the dangers. You can bet you're sweet bippy CB and I will be in Napasonomahoma for the next off-line. God loves wine-drinkers. WW
