A Few Portland Name Pronunciations

August 10, 2012 – 12:20 pm

Returning the rental to Enterprise after a day of wine travel in the Willamette Valley, Kathy and I asked if they would give us a ride to our son’s house. An Enterprise employee asked where does he live and I responded on Couch Street. I pronounced Couch as  “kouCH”, a piece of furniture. A discussion […]

Pinot Noir Smack Down

August 18, 2011 – 8:09 am

The Pinot Noir Smackdown is an interesting challenge for me. Although I can enjoy a Pinot Noir, it’s not my usual red wine choice. I like a red wine that has a color from dark ruby to black and you can’t read text through the wine. This eliminates many Pinot Noirs. I also like a […]

A Special Beverage with Champagne

July 3, 2011 – 7:11 pm

I really enjoy most Champagnes and sparkling wines. They are light and refreshing while pairing well with food. Champagne and sparkling wine should be used everyday not just for special occasions. It would be nice if the price were lower so it could become more popular as an every day drink. If you want to […]

March 11, 2011 – 5:01 pm

I like wines that have bold to outrageous tannins. After all when I blended my Two Coasts wine I used 20 percent Tannat to 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon to help increase the tannins. While on a recent tour of Willamette Valley wineries in Oregon, I wondered if there were Pinot Noirs that offered bold tannins. […]
