If you are serious about the cellar space, check out bendwinecellar.com.

That is the place I have been looking at. I just haven't been able to justify the cost for access one month a year. The prices do seem fair--it's not them, it's me.

Tonight I decanted a 2006 Ken Wright Abbott Claim Pinot Noir for about two hours before dinner at the club. Poured it back into the bottle and took it down there. The wine opened with berries, fruit and nice flavors, a little tight. Throughout the dinner it continued to evolve and got smoother and more balanced. Next bottle I will decant for 3-4 hours. I would give this KW a 92 point rating, great PN.

Go Ducks!!!

The other one I love from OR is Cana's Feast (formerly known as Cuneo Cellars).. Why they changed the name, I don't know but their '03 Syrah was exceptional...

Apparently there's another Cuneo out there somewhere. I asked them about that. I love their Two Rivers blend.

Thanks for the tip on the Z'ivo, I'll try to find some.
