Desperately Seeking...

Hi Steve and now fer me 3&1/2 pesos worth. I for the most part totally agree with you. If I had all of the cash I've flushed buying burgandies, Oregon, Wash, and Calif. Pinots I could retire (in Luxury).The only exception is Tom Dehlingers' RRV Pinots. I know it's the pits getting on his mailing list but well worth the effort(regardless of Buckos' comments). At from 5-10 years his pinots bloom into majestic bottles that satisfies' this ole jaded palate as much as any of my beloved Calif Cabs. Call Tom at 707-823-2378 and see what his current status is. The few Loring wines I've had were also terrific but didn't get on his mailing list as I just paid attention to them 3-4 years ago. Joe Swan was my first intro into Calif Pinots with his late 60s' and 70s' which were ethereal. Found out that not all wines are created equal. By the way, I used to travel the Seattle area and have a good friend who owned Sound Floorcovering, Pete Chick. Call him at Sound and tell him I said hi iffn' he's still working. WW
