Thanks for the notes Bill


2002 Felton Road Pinot Noir – a stinky slightly metallic nose, and on palate spice, all the way through into the long finish. Slightly high terminal acidity.

Any life left in the Felton Road,? the 2005 and 2006 are drinking well now, but I wonder about their future

If I could have been there for one course...it would have been this one...sounds so good.

"2004 Cristom Eileen Pinot Noir (Willamette) – the beginning of a long spate of non-Burgs, this wine had a sweet nose of cola and flowers and some spice, was also spicy in the mouth and showed some complexity. An interesting comparison with the Burgundy.

With Grilled Quail and Sautéed sweetbread, Lemon and Green Pea Risotto, Morel Mushroom Sauce."

Yes, it still had some stuffing, but I don't think they age like a good Burg often does.
