Keithstg Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 After a conversation this weekend with Starfish about wines that hang around in the cellar after tastes changed or were random gifts, I went through my offsite storage and came back with 5 orphan bottles. These wines are well made and highly rated by Parker, just not by me. So, rather than having them sit around, I figured I'd post them here. Ideally, someone out there on DR has a similar situation and we could work out a trade. I've got more of an old world palate, and am not concerned with an exact $ value match for trades, just something interesting to drink. Anyway, check out the wines below and if interested, shoot me a PM.

Two of my favorite "new world" pinot producers are copain and radio coteau....Somehow I think these bottles aren't to Rocks' taste either...
