Tasting Notes
I’m a day behind in posting the blind wine for this week’s podcast episode—pretty sure IPNC preparations are to blame with all the excitement of a long weekend filled with fun, friends, and wine! Are you attending IPNC? If so, come find me and say “Hi!” Also, are you planning to attend my University of Pinot panel? It’s going to be a good one, I promise!
This week’s podcast episode was an absolute honor, as I got to chat with Tony Rynders of Tendril Cellars (@tendrilwines). For those who might not know, Tony is a legendary winemaker with a remarkable story and equally legendary wines.
Choosing which blind wine to bring was quite the challenge, but I decided on a wine from another legend, which felt just right. Jay McDonald’s 2013 EIEIO Saffron Fields Pinot Noir (@eieiowines) was the perfect choice—especially since Tony makes the wine for Saffron Fields.
