I am not a wine drinker. This weekend I am going to BYOB Pinot Noir wine tasting. Any favs of your wives or significant other?
Wine question
- Thread starter BluegrassPoke
- Start date
Ponzi Pinot noir from Oregon is a big favorite of mine. It's pricey ($35.00) but oh so good. Another option is Meiomi. It's a California Pinot around $20-$22.
Uhhh... my boss at home says she thinks it's from Sonoma.
Ya quit being a ***** and drink Malbec or Red Zin only women and Kevin Durant drink that weak *** swill
eff them, tell them you're from southwest oklahoma and bring a styrofoam cooler full of adolfs. you will be the most popular person at the shindig.
I'm not a wine drinker but my wife is. Some of her favorites are AtoZ , Kenwood, Poppy... there are more that I don't know by name but know what the label looks like and that's how I buy it lol.

AtoZ is a good Oregon Pinot. Or you could splurge and get a Russian River Valley pinot to impress your Aggie friends.
We have to bring receipts to prove the bottle was under $20. Or pull it up on a website to show cost.
Couple of New Zealand's that s/b under 20: Crater's Rim and Kim Crawford.
Over 20: 32 Winds - Maestro (60ish)

use the app Vivino it will give reviews and rating from normal people.
How much you willing to spend? $30 range you can get Walt Pinot. That is the Pinot label for Hall wines, Craig and Kathryn hall. Up in your neck of the woods Craig Hall developed Craig’s Ranch. He’s a big RE developer. They have really good wines. Their Cabs are great.
$50 Goldeneye Pinot is fantastic
I personally am not a fan of Meomi and some of the other mass production. If you’re looking for a decent cheap bottle/mass produced Decoy Pinot under $20.

That’s good stuff. Had some Cooper and Thief bourbon aged red wine this summer on vacation in Colorado. It was good.
In that case go with the Decoy... or if you have a Costco membership and don’t care you can get a bottle of Rickshaw for 9.99. It’s very drinkable for the price.
So I went to Goody Goody tonight and thanks to @JonnyVito and my South African SOMM I bought 2 South African Pinot Noirs for the evening. As some of you know, I spend a lot of time in South Africa and I love bringing that country to my friends. I will let you know where I placed. I want to crush the Aggies and Longhorns. Show them that an Oklahoman has the best culture!
He is stewing right now.
Man I got to thinking about that bourbon barrel aged Zin and had to hit up the liquor last night. Took forever to chill.
I won 1st place and last place. He is the funny thing. You had to bring 2 of each wines so for 1st place I got the top 10 wines, for last place I got the bottom 10 wines. I also got a $100 Total Wine gift card. Thanks for the help fellas! @JonnyVito come over and have some wine.
Good recommendations ITT. At the $20 price point I would take a Williamette Valley Pinot Noir, Duck Pond, or an Argyle...
If you ended up in the Dallas area I will have to holler at you next time I end up down there for a company function I usually get one free night when I have to go down there.
I won 1st place with a Paul Cluver (I think that is the spelling) Pinot Noir from South Africa. The Retief Goosen Pinot Noir wine for last place and tasted like *** juice.
*** Juice? Damn son, you DO get around. Petrino introduce that one to you?
Will look for the Cluver.
I was wondering if the cork disenigrated because it was gritty.
To be fair, all the 24/7 posters were probably too busy reading either Breitbart or Huffington Post.
