Wine: Underwood Cellars 2009 Pinot Noir
Why it's a win: First off, it's from Sherwood, Oregon- which for those that don't know is a city about 15-20 miles south of Portland. There is something particularly special about a good wine from your own backyard. Secondly, the earthy taste of this pinot was blended excellently with notes of cherries and spice. Even with a bit of acidity to the finish, the taste was so smooth. Lastly, you can't beat the price.
Where you can find it: New Seasons and Whole Foods
Price: $11-$12
This was a fun find for us. We (the Schlypers) stayed the night at the Mark Spencer Hotel the other weekend and they hosted a wine and cheese hour. Rian and I had never tasted (or even heard of) this wine, which did make us feel a bit guilty seeing how it's from a vineyard just a few miles from our house. But we are happy we did and we will be sure to have it on hand in our home.
