2002 is supposed to be a great vintage for...

Oregon Pinot Noir and Burgundies. Yippee!

Seems we'll be drinking happily for many years!

The '02s I've tasted have certainly shown well.

How do they compare to the 01s? I've been told 01 was a good year. I think it would be interesting to sit down with a bottle from each and compare head to head. I've never done that, but it would give me a chance to see if I, being a novice can tell the difference.

Quite a run of good vintages in OR. 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 -- all nice vintages. Be careful with 2003 -- try before you buy -- it was a very hot year with high alcohol, low acids and poor balance in many wines.
