I have tried a lot of OR Pinot Gris, in all price classes. This is the best of the lot, regardless of price. Extremely limited -- I already put in my order for a case.

1999 Winter’s Hill, Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley, $12, 285 cases. Made it a light, crisp, lean style, the wine has lovely peach fruit, floral notes and impeccable balance. Excellent value.

Bucko, since that tasting note also preciesly describes the Bodega Lurton Pinot Gris from Argentina which sells at full pop retail for $5.99 (but we sell it for $4.99), what makes the Oregon one such a good value? Just wondering.........

Since we have a couple of the Lurton's here as a result of our stop in Santa Monica (great wine region), we would be happy to run a side by side with the Winter's Hill if you want to send one.

Bucko, I gather from your other posts that you are a generally conservative guy, so you don't really buy these American winemakers crying about how "Well, you can't compare our prices with those imported wines, out costs are higher!" do you? I may be a pinko-anarchist-pagan but I am a BIG free marketeer..........


PS, you were a military guy yes? I'm a vet too (but only put in four years, in Germany during the Cold War) but even when I has a wet behind the ears Spec 4 I would have died laughing if our current Presumptive Elect had been presented to me as Company Commander let alone Commander in Chief and I just KNOW that any lifer Non Coms or Officers would have been bitching into their beers forever if they had to answer to him. Honestly, isn't that true?

No worse than Gore, who touts his Vietnam service, yet he was a REMF -- no mud on his boots.

As stated before, I'm a McCain fan, a real military man and Senator.

I agree with you, Bucko, McCain is a class act who's tough as nails. He truly has grit.

I disagree with McCain on just about every issue except campaign finance. Between that one issue and his sterling character, however, I probably would have voted for him if he'd got the nomination.

I kept looking for a "draft Mc Cain" movement as a third way out of last month's crisis but no one even mentioned it. I also supported him even though we disagreed on almost everything due to his character. I particularly liked his answer on womanizing as a youth "When I was younger I was a good looking Marine Corps fighter pilot (who was the son of an admiral) and it was a target rich environment"!!!!!

Straight talk indeed, (and thanks to you Bucko for not interpreting my question in the wrong light), Roberto

And NONE of us ever took advantage of the fairer sex, I'm sure. That scallywag!!

Thought we were going to limit political speech to the Rants and Raves thread.
