First event of our newest wine club in MN.

All events will be serving wines blind. Oregon was the first theme and November will be Left Bank Bordeaux. Reach out wine geeks in town if interested.

2023 Big Table Farm Pinot Noir Pelos Sandberg Vineyard 93 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
While young shows great promise. Diam closure with cranberry, cherry, earth, soy, minerals, strawberries, rose petals and spice. Got better over time and just needs a full 3 day review but great on day 1 as well.

2021 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Coury Clone Freedom Hill Vineyard 86 Points

Ok this wine was just not doing it tonight. Very much lacking fruit with forest floor, spice, celery, mushrooms and earth. No first, second or third place votes out of 4 people. Cellar and see if it comes around.
