A welcome message from the Dr.

" . . . the more I have studied wine the more apparent it has become to me that wine knowledge is endless: for wine encompasses the study of viticulture and enology, but also geography, geology, culture, government, bureaucracy, gastronomy, meteorology, botany, and ultimately philosophy - hence this blog [and website] takes its title, The Oeno-philosopher."

[Above is an excerpt from post: Memories of the Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta: 1994 to 2009]

The blog is as much about your oeno thoughts as it is mine. So, please don't be shy. Participate by posting to the blog, taking one of the polls (below), or send a private message.

Talking up wine is what this blog is all about!

Siduri Oregon Pinot Noir

01 02
Siduri Pinot Noir, Chehalem Mtns, Willamette Valley is a small but impressive support for the hype surrounding the 2008 Willamette Pinots. Rarely have I tasted such a nuanced PN at release that didn't cost two or three times Siduri's asking price. Especially today, after being opened last night, the wine showed extraordinary non-fruit palatal components: earth, truffle, green herb and loam to name only a few. It suggested to me that this stelvin closure product has substantial potential for bottle aging . . . say goodbye to the purists. Siduri is the Oregon project of the Talbot family, and so possesses a pedigree of committment to quality and terroir. Thanks to JC for the recommendation.
