Episode 173: Last of the 2011 Rosé
March 17, 2013
While he was at the store, Chas noticed some bottles of 2011 Rosé on the shelves. The 2012’s will be appearing soon, so he thought it would be interesting to check in on them, to see what they’re like after being out for about a year. We taste the 2011 Grochau Cellars Willamete Valley Rosé of Pinot Noir, the 2011 Board Track Racer The Vincent, and the 2011 Witness Tree Remari Rosato.

Episode 170: Excellent Pink Wine
February 25, 2013
Dan picked out a couple of bottles of Pinot Noir based rose wine for this week’s show. Both had been good in the past, and both showed brilliantly when tasted this time. Both come from unique vineyards and represent some really original wine growing and wine making. Wines like this are a big reason that Oregon is such an exciting place to explore. They also show that Pinot Noir can deliver great things in unconventional wines as well as traditional ones. We taste the 2011 Teutonic Wine Company Brut Rose from the Wahlstrom Vineyard, and the 2011 Analemma Columbia Gorge Rose.

Episode 141: 2011 Summer Wines From Brooks
July 28, 2012
We went tasting in the Willamette Valley after recording episode 140 and found a couple of wines from Brooks that we wanted to share with you. Both of them are drinking very well right now, and they’re perfect summer wines. As a correction, both wines are listed on their website at $22, which is a little higher than what Dan says in the video. We taste the 2011 Brooks Pinot Noir Rose and the 2011 Brooks Bois Joli Riesling.

Episode 90: 2010 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Rose
June 6, 2011
For this week’s show, we get into some pink wine. When we recorded this, the weather was horrible, but it has since changed to deliver appropriate rose drinking conditions. We received Trisaetum’s 2010 Trisae Willamette Valley Rose as a sample, and Dan picked up the DePonte Cellars 2010 Willamette Valley Rose on a visit to the winery, so we thought they’d make for an interesting show.
