Mt. Hood Winery

• December 2015

  Had a great first full day here in south central California. Started off with a very good breakfast at the ForFriends B&B in Santa Ynez. Too early for any of the tasting rooms to be open so we headed down to Jalama beach for some salt air and scenery. Beautiful beach with some interesting campsites and about a half dozen surfers enjoying some mo... Read More

  The third time wasn't the charm for red wine at the Great Northwest Wine Competition.  The third-annual even took place recently at the Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River, Oregon. The competition, according to Tacoma's The News Tribune, drew 1,214 entries. This year was the first time a red wine didn't win the competition's Best of Show award.  ... Read More

  While traveling through Napa Valley last month I noticed that all the Vineyards I visited had roses planted around their crops. They're planted and watched closely for any early signs of infestation on the land. They monitor the Roses closely and upon early signs of problems, protective measures are taken to make sure the grape vines receive a s...

  Sadly I did Not. I had a busy weekend that involved wine, but sadly that was mostly inventorying, packing, and moving wine around the state of NY! Got about a dozen cases moved closer to home, so now I'm pretty well set for the next few months of drinking! Next bottle up looks like it might very well be 1987 Dunn Napa Valley. Funny how Dunn was ... Read More

  Way sweeter than I expected, especially for a wine with 12.4% alc/vol. Not incredibly well-balanced. Read More

  Today I was shopping for a few things prior to Thanksgiving at our local COSTCO. I shopped the wine aisle (as I always do) and decided on a bottle of 2007 Maryhill Cabernet Sauvignon. I wanted to try this wine as I have heard so much good about this Winery in Goldendale, Washingto. I placed the bottle in my cart and noticed a man standing behind... Read More

  I only had one afternoon in the OR wine country and my tastings at Bergstrom and Penner Ash fell through, so we just drove around and explored.  We stopped first at the Ponzi tasting room along the highway.  Here, we got a map of wineries and some recommendations.  We ended up also stopping in to Domaine Drouhin, Torii or, Lange and Erath before...

  From another thread:GregT: " Oh it makes my ears bleed. I need to go and drink a bottle of Sang de Cailloux"Dmcker: "So what's the 'terroir' for the blood of stones? Great naming for a domaine. Too bad you can't really get away with that type of name in English. Guess we have to suffice with 'Big House' or 'Suckfizzle' or '10 Minutes by Tractor'... Read More
