  8/5/2023 4:18:00 AM - Thanks for friending me. I just came back from 2 weeks in the Pacific Northwest, which included 3 days staying in the Pearl District. I had a great dinner at Grassa.

Any wine bar or decent grub with a good wine list you'd recommend in the Pearl District? we're at the Northrup Station Inn. I will be picking up an order at Vinopolis as well.

That’s like assuming I play hockey because I’m Canadian, which I don’t, I don’t even know how to skate! I played basketball all winter in my youth. All that aside, I do appreciate and like some of your suggestions. Evesham Wood is an excellent value producer. Unfortunately for my friends, none of their wines are listed anywhere in Arizona at present on Winesearcher. The search continues. Thanks again.

I have friends (in Phoenix AZ) who are just getting into Pinot Noir and they were asking me if I could suggest any entry-level Pinots from Oregon - between 25-35USD? My palate steers towards Lingua Franca and Cameron so out of their price range. Have you tasted anything recently that meets the price range and is worth hunting down? Much thanks, JP

Back in the day, I brewed beer, and some bottles from my last batch started exploding in the garage. Several years of brewing, and never had an off one. That would be nice if his method will work on those bottles that are ‘difficult’.

My public profile tries to clear that up where I acknowledge the score is based on the tasting in the moment and not predicting the future. I was disappointed to hear the CT developer reaction to your suggestion, as I think it would benefit us all. Thank you for trying!
