Oregon Pinot Noir/Burgundy -vs- Washington Rhones/Rhone:
What a fantastic way to kick off 2013 with fellow cellartrackers. The food at Sauvage was excellent as usual and this was a perfect venue for our event!
Too many wines, too little palate space. Sadly, with all the wines and limited time I missed 3 of the whites and the single Rhone:
2008 Domaine Thibert Père et Fils Bourgogne Blanc Saint-Veran, Burgundy, FR
2009 Erath White Pinot Noir Le Jour Magique Willamette Valley, OR
2009 Decalier Cote du Soliel White Rhone Blend Cote Du Soleil Clarksburg, CA
1999 M. Chapoutier La Sizeranne Hermitage, Rhone, FR
A fantastic night was had by all. For additional information and photos see cellartracker forum for this event.
2011 Seven of Hearts Chatte d'Avignon Viognier & Roussanne
USA, Oregon, Columbia Valley
Pretty on the nose with peaches, pears, white tea and fresh cut wet grass. Flavors of apricots, pears, fresh herbs with a hint of sea salt and lime. Coating acidity, finishes cleanly and crisp.

2010 Crowley Chardonnay Four Winds

Saline fog, lime zest, sour apple and crushed basalt aromatics. Racy and layered with apples, fresh cut grass, lime and lemon curd. Finishes long, clean and bright.

2010 Maison Bleue Marsanne Petite Joie Boushey Vineyard
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley
Wafting floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom. Later revealing cantaloupe, lemon zest, amaretto and wet pavement. Essence of lovely crisp apples, pears with a good sense of minerality; slate and cement. Crisp and bright on the glycerine finish.
My favorite white of the night.
