Desperately Seeking...

Oddly, here in Seattle, all those Oregon Pinots just sit on the shelves of our shop and buds from other retailers say it's their slowest section, too. As for my friends and their knees, THAT'S who I've been unable to get an answer out of. Not one of these self-described Burgundy lovers could form a coherent sentence about what it was they love so much about it. "Complex" was a common theme but I've never had a single Pinot that was as complex as the high-end Italians I love so much or even as a good Napa or Walla Walla Cab. I've liked some Pinots a lot: David Bruce's Central Coast, Gregory Graham's CA bottlings, and even a couple of OR things, like the Archery Summit '98 Reserve or the Argyle Nuthouse. But not one of those would show up on my table more than once....Oh, well. Thanks for your good efforts, guys!
