"It's not just a job, it's not just a hobby, it's a lifestyle." This is just one guy's opinion who happens to taste a few thousand wines in the course of a year. And as wine folk know, this is a thirsty business, so I wash it all down with an ale and maybe even a whiskey (Tequila or gin when the thermometer soars). So take this all with a shaker of salt and forgive me my mispellings.

2001 Stephen Ross Edna Valley Pinot Noir


Always had a soft spot for this juice. Not a blockbuster, but who cares. So soft & silkly w/ all the flavors right there. I could drink this all night long & it'll go w/ anything (maybe not Raisin Bran, but I'm game). 773 cases produced, so there's probably nothing, if anything floating around @ this point. Moral of the story? Pick-up a bottle of the current vintage & give it some down time. This guy always seems to deliver.
