Al fresco in leafy West London

The idea was to try out a few Oregon Pinots and Chardonnays and have a couple of well known calibration points among them to be able to form a clearer view. This was a primarily non wine-nerd crew, but they gamely went along with the idea and kindly contributed their votes and opinions.
We ate like spoiled teenage boys - Fried Chicken made with the Serious Eats recipe, smoked Pork and Beef ribs and pulled pork, with fat and skinny chips fried in beef dripping. We also had a guest who follows a vegan diet so had fun experimenting with Sweet Baby Rays air fried tofu, which was even better than it sounds.
Really good fun evening. What did I learn? Well I think i have a great deal of respect for Morgen Long as a producer, but we get back to the problem that when your quality approaches that of the great French regions, and your price exceeds it, and you're not *quite* as reliable...you need to love it to buy it.

Lovely, light, nutty - some persistence but not *too* much. Was pleasantly received by the mostly not-wine-nerd crowd. Good start to things.
