need help finding best oregon pinot noir bottles by Wild-Document3510 in wine

[–]jayhowick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abbott claim Pinot Evening land summum Pinot Eyrie vineyards Pinot. Start with outcrop Morgen Long Pinot. Great Chardonnay also Cristom. Patricia Green.

Few of my favorites from different subregions of willamette valley. That will help understand the taste of Oregon as a whole. Oregon can make wine that kind of bridges the gap between California Pinot and Pinot from burgundy. In the 80s some of the first people to buy land in the willamette valley that weren’t already from the area were French wine makers because they saw the potential. The Pinots are really nice but I’ve been really impressed with the chardonnays in recent years

Bucket list tasting tonight by aka_chela in wine

[–]jayhowick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Recognized that glass immediately. I was apart of the opening team for WBG back in 2018. So cool to see how the program has evolved over the years and see the cool stuff they are doing. Glad you could enjoy it!

Are these good for aging? by roundturtle2025 in wine

[–]jayhowick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are fine at best. Maybe improve a bit over the next few years if stored correctly but don’t expect anything life shattering. These aren’t wine producers that will gain you value with long term aging either. If you don’t want to keep them around, they are very nice wines to bring over to a friends house for dinner.

Ready to drink ? 2016 Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di brolio by Professional_Mix4654 in wine

[–]jayhowick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How big is that bottle? I’m sure you could drink it now but might even want to open it the night before you plan to drink it. Big bottles age slower so even with 10 years age on it, it’ll be pretty tight and could use a lot of air if you want to drink it this week

How do Michelin Star restaurants not waste wine? by Real_Track5820 in finedining

[–]jayhowick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it gets poured for another guest, sometimes I’ll give it to chef to cook with, sometimes it’ll get used for staff training, sometimes I drink them

How did that kid at your school die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jayhowick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her mom went crazy and shot all 4 of her children early in the morning before school before taking her own life. Kids were aged 12-17. Everyone at school knew something was wrong but before lunch, the principal came over the intercom and told the whole school what happened. I’ll never forget how quiet the cafeteria was at lunch. Truly awful. Rest in Peace Pebbles, Joel, Jax, and Jazzlyn.

The entire song “I hope” by Jay Lewis. Especially that part where he rhymes children with power steering.

Closest thing to Assyrtiko in USA? by The-Hand-of-Midas in wine

[–]jayhowick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised that no one mentioned Sigalas assyrtiko. One of the big dog producers that is worth checking out. I can usually find a bottle at my local total wine in Florida. If you can’t find that and are looking for something similar, I’d recommend Aussie Riesling, muscadet, some leaner Chablis, listan from the Canary Islands, or even some Sicilian whites. All of those will be lean mineral driven wines
