Enjoying Thanksgiving in the Willamette region of Oregon
A quick note to relay what we drank with our Thanksgiving meal tonight:
- 2003 Ketelsen Tudor House Reserve Pinot Noir (decanted for 2-2.5 hours) - very nice, better than last time even!
- 2004 Ramian Page One Grenache - big hit…great wine for $15.
- 1999 Kauber Bluchertal Riesling Spätlese (Mittelrhein region)
- Aroma: Rich, sweet, honey and apricots.
- Flavor: Amazing sparkling mineral flavor, almost like that highly sought after petrichor experience I’m looking for.
- General impression: A nice sweet Spätlese straight from Germany, with about 4-5 years of age on the bottle. Nice surprise!
Tomorrow we’re off to a few wineries…we’ll see which ones soon enough!
