Another great video! Nice that you chose some of the lesser known wineries that produce amazing wine, not to mention some of the greatest values. I’m a huge fan of Jim Anderson (Patricia Green Cellars) and Kelley Fox. Hopefully you got to spend some time with each of them.
Not sure I agree with 1 of the top 5 on this list. You're a high end collector (or so I thought) you could have included at least 1 producer who I on top of the game right now. While patricia green (at one point) was dynamite, they haven't been the same since 2017.
I love wine from the US. The only problem in my humble opinion is that most wines are either very hard to come by in Europe, or downright too expensive, in comparison with France, Germany or Italy for instance. Thanks for another nice video! (ps. "burp" means I drank too much. 😂)
You've missed out Antica Terra, very good producer of burgundian style Pinot Noir.
Have you tried Resonance wines? I tried them recently and found them to be great expressions of the Willamette valley.
I learn so much about Oregon's Willamette Valley AVA through your excellent content here and on IG. In this particularly impressive video, I really appreciate your description of WV PN as being in the middle of the spectrum between Burgundy PN and California PN. While I’m very familiar with Burgundy PN, I’m only slightly familiar with California PN and not knowledgeable when it comes to Willamette Valley PN, so that description is really very helpful for me, personally. Thank you, John, for this informative and insightful video about Willamette Valley.
Was thinking I’d see Cristom here but I think you may have reviewed their wines before! Thanks for the thoughtful and informative recommendations as always.
Thanks for covering Willamette Valley. Our tasting there is not as extensive as yours, but my personal favorites are White Rose, Argyle and Penner-Ash. I've also had some nice Rieslings from this region as well.
Great video. I’ve not been to the Willamette Valley but it’s in my list. I recently popped a cork on a Lingua Franca Eola-Amity which was really nice …
Thomas. One man, one wine. Extremely hard to find. Worth searching for.
