I am getting so behind in getting posts up - apologies. The longer I wait the more people will have to read to catch up. I hope you take the time to do so though and I will try to keep posts short and pertinent.
To start I will venture to the wines of Burgundy. The tastings I have been attending have really opened my palate to Burgundies both white and red. There are some Tremendous wines from this region. They can unfortunately be costly but not all are and in some instances I have found what I consider much superior wines to Oregon Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for the same or less cost. I was a firm believer in NW wines for a long time but take note Oregon Vintners many of you still just miss the mark.
A brief note for those not familiar with wines from this region. Red Burgundy is Pinot Noir grapes and White Burgundies are Chardonnay grapes. Oregon Vinters have traditionally labeled their bottles with the grape but in Burgundy you will typically see vintage, vintner, and region information. Kind of fun once you realize you know what you are drinking. :)
On to the tastings...
