Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For October 6, 20142 min read

Posted on October 6, 2014 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway?
I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes with you via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available wines. Below is a wrap-up of those twitter wine reviews from the past week (click here for the skinny on how to read them), along with links to help you find these wines, so that you can try them for yourself. Cheers!

  • 12 Bergstrom Sigrid Chardonnay (Willamette Valley): Kind of gorgeous; on second thought, scratch the "kind of" from that statement. $85 A >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Brick House Cascadia Chardonnay (Ribbon Ridge): Pears, peaches, pith, passion, poise, and a whole helluvah lotta crowd-pleasin'. $36 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Brittan Vineyards Chardonnay (Willamette Valley): Well, that got vibrant quickly; will also oblige if you ask it to pass the toast $40 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Walter Scott Vojtilla Chardonnay (Willamette Valley): Tension, texture, & a textbook case for rich, pithy & mineral WV Chard. $40 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 12 William Rose Gewurztraminer (Southern Oregon): Balanced scale of rose petals & freshness on 1 hand, honey sweetness on the other. $NA B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 12 William rose Dry Riesling (Southern Oregon): An austere laser beam of crisp, pear-like focus, giving off petrol vapors in its wake $18 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 08 Matello Whistling Ridge Blanc (Ribbon Ridge): Pithy kitchen sink blend that's been whistling a tasty tune for a number of years. $NA B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Matello Hommage Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley): Like a mole, moving low & slow; but bright & also light on its little feet, too. $27 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Division Chardonnay (Willamette Valley): Food-friendly to the extreme, but you'd better count yourself as a fan of earthiness 1st. $24 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Andrew Rich Verbatim Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley): Young, spicy fruit, with dense muscles, hauling hefty heapings of earth. $30 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Andrew Rich Croft Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Willamette Valley): Grapefruit, wet rocks, & lemongrass with aggressive intentions. $22 B+ >>find this wine<<
