Community Tasting Note

• melvinyeowq Does not like this wine:

  September 24, 2021 - Pinot under $100 (East Bistro): Clearly Burgundy but made in a heavily oaked style, way too much vanilla and black fruits with a cherry cola note. Really dislike Bouchard reds.

They are mostly just quaffing wines. I am buying Oregon PN now as a substitute for these wines and only concentrating on the good Burgundies now. If I'm wrong on an Oregon PN it's $30 instead of $50 or $60 so don't feel as bad. Lol
