Patrick Taylor seems to be making some off the grid items that are really well executed. I respect his wine philosophy and tastes and admire his willingness to take on a challenge: Pinot Blanc, 100% Counoise, and domestic Nebbiolo should frighten most people. I don't want to say that these varieties will catch on and be the next big thing from Oregon and Washington, but there is something very innovative here. Good job.
