Wine Orphans

Recommended Posts

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. (Don, if this isn't an appropriate post, please feel free to delete).

Unfortunately, what I have in "orphans" would not be to your taste, since they tend to be new world (read Santa Rita Hills) Pinot Noirs.

They may be. Two of my favorite "new world" pinot producers are copain and radio coteau....

Somehow I think these bottles aren't to Rocks' taste either...
