I didn't say best, but how about most popular? Your inability to converse about wines outside Italy makes you intellectually half-blind. I get the sense you're already too old to ever achieve wisdom.
Yes, you did:
"Best Pinot Noir within $40?" is the title of the thread.
Your inability to converse
Fine, I stand corrected. Until you broaden you wine interest to include even the F country you'll never be able to fully participate in our reindeer games.
I wish to extend to everyone in the world my warm wishes for the holidays.... except F_____.
We lived near the Belmont line in the Oakley Country Club neighborhood. I must say that in spite of many miles under the bridge it was a very pleasant place to live. So, as we sometimes say on this side: good on you! :)

I met Josh Wertlieb a few years ago, 2002 at a dinner put together by Ron Kramer--I thought he was on the restaurant side of the biz.
I brokered a deal with Marty's about 7 years ago---Ch S Cotes du rhone---they ordered a pallette (56 cases) but I had to cut my commission in half---when the time came for them to pay-they stalled so I asked what price they were selling the CDR for it was about 70% over their cost on the original price. Finally they paid after much prodding with the French broker I shared a commission with. At that point I asked about a new order, they let me know they just ordered 112 cases from the French broker who called or faxed me every few days about late payment. It took a few seconds to realize, I'd been cut out---I understand the price on Marty's shelf stayed the same. They probably cut the French broker out when they placed their 3rd order, but by then I had fled the business!

F_____ does *not* make wine. Just some fermented grape swill they have the nerve to call wine.
You rang, Sir?
lol, perhaps but I'm far more familiar with California wine growing regions and have never visited Oregon. Most of the Pinot Noirs in the stores here are from the southern California area between Santa Barbara and Santa Maria. One of these years I'll take a trip up to Willamette Valley region.
