HIGH SCORES FOR SUNNYSIDE

SUNNYSIDE_VINEYARD_HEADER.jpg

At Love & Squalor we have pursued our dream of Dry Riesling since the beginning in 2006, teaming up with the best Riesling growers in the Willamette and constantly refining our techniques in the cellar. In 2014 we released our first Single Vineyard Dry Riesling, with the goal of elevating this grape to the level of other single vineyard varietals in The Valley.

We have worked with Sunnyside Vineyard for many vintages, and their Riesling fruit has proven out year after year to be the best we have ever encountered. And it is this site that makes this bottling so vibrant. But don’t just take our word for it, reviews are in and the critics agree Vinous 91 points, Wine Enthusiast 92 points. (see reviews here)
 

PERFECTLY AGED ANTSY PINOT

We are down to our last few cases

We held onto our stash of the 2012 and 2013 Antsy Pants Reserve Pinots as long as we could, but we are down to the last few cases of each. It has been a real pleasure to watch tasters’ blissful faces when we pour them one of these fully developed treasures. The 2012 is full and voluptuous with waves of dark fruit and spices. The 2013 is graceful and deceptively light until it hits you with its powerful core of cherry and earth. Get them here while they last. Buy some now because they are going fast buy here -->

SIDE NOTE: From now on this wine will be re-named “Reserve” and will lose the “Antsy Pants” distinction. Those fancy madras slacks, however, will still be hanging on the label. If you know, you know.

Getting Serious

My friends Dan and Chas, who host the popular video blog Wine Is Serious Business, invited me to come and taste through my current releases with them and have a conversation about winemaking in Oregon. It was lots of fun and turned out pretty well. Check it out here You can see their archive on YouTube and link to them on Facebook.
