A couple hours later the wine really opened up. If these crybaby rants are indicative of 3 days of tasting you should do yourself a favor and call it quits. What a professional

Super great to know though PDX, so many variables could have made it not good when 3Day tasted, especially at a tasting when you have little to no control, thanks for the proper wine feedback within your comment as such is most imperative to know and will help us prepare!!! It’s the weekend, CT could use some humor and fun, spread the love!!! :) cheers

Not all wines are my style. I appreciate the craft these artisans make. It's easy to take pot shots on the internet

    10/14/18, 5:23 PM - pdxpinotlover welcome to the world of wine. I have been reviewing wines since 2004 and if I want to give a wine an 80 point score I will. Last time I checked that is a B- which is not bad. Critics have ruined the 100 point scale as a wine needs to be 90 or higher no matter the cost. Looks like you like to critic others reviews but you don't even have many to began with.

    10/14/18, 5:33 PM - My private reviews would make you laugh. I don't know to what degree you have been scoring wines. Never heard of you like most of the world. Do what you want. I wouldn't publicly review a wine on a spit at a tasting. I taste over a thousand wines a year just don't feel the need to share every sip with the world

    10/16/18, 9:16 AM - Hey buddy posting on here a and other forums seems like a really big deal to you. I don't post much why would I join another forum? You link your business to these tasting notes. You promote drinking wine over 3 days and say people drink wine too young. Practice what you preach when giving a score that does get melded with professional scores on wine-searcher.com.

  • pdxpinotlover commented:

    10/16/18, 9:18 AM - 3Day. I'm done. It doesn't matter at the end of the day. Let's both move on. If you want last word go ahead and post.

  • 3daywinereview.com commented:

    10/27/18, 7:24 PM - pdxpinotlover It seems like you like to contradict on scores you don't like. Just accept everyone has a right to their own wine opinion. I really don't care if anyone like or doesn't like a wine I love.

  • pdxpinotlover commented:

    10/27/18, 8:55 PM - If someone scores a flawed wine I don't understand it. Call me crazy

  • pdxpinotlover commented:

    10/27/18, 8:55 PM - That is my usual "contradiction "
