NW Wines: Not Ready For Prime Time

[dananne]

Agree about the prices of NW wines creeping up there into the "can't afford to drink regularly" category, but I've been dazzled by some of the wines I've tried from the NW this year, particularly from Oregon. Just my opinion, but I turn cartwheels over Abacela's tempranillos and cab francs, Rex Hill and Adelsheim's pinots, and Sokol Blosser's whites. Are these worth the prices? Well, I can't answer for others, but they are to me [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Regarding Joey's comments about all the bargains out there -- absolutely right. But, I'm pretty sure the Pac NW isn't the place to go for them. I've been mining Spain, Portugal's table reds, Argentina, and Greece, along with the occasional Vin de Pays d'Oc.
