Tasting Notes

After avoiding a terrible ice storm chasing down sun, today I am finishing up an amazing podcast interview with Jason Wise, the brilliant mind behind the SOMM films (@somm_films), Sparklers, and so much more. To commemorate this special occasion, I decided to share a post about a wine from Dusky Goose (@duskygoosewinery) that holds a special place in my heart. In fact, when I built my wine cellar, I hid an empty bottle of Dusky Goose as an Easter egg for someone to discover one day. The interview with Jason Wise will be released on Thursday, where we discuss various topics such as his favorite director, Michael Mann, snails, Pumping Iron, 15 years of marriage, and, of course, the latest SOMM movie titled "Cup of Salvation" which will be available on SOMM TV (@sommtv_streaming) tomorrow. I am eagerly looking forward to watching this film again! Don't forget to subscribe to the Weinnotes Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube to be notified bright and early on Thursday morning. I also need your assistance, if you don't mind. Could you please add this post to your stories and tag @michaelmannofficial? My goal is to have Jason Wise interview Michael Mann on SOMM TV's podcast, but I can't achieve it alone. Now, let's dive into the 2018 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir from Dusky Goose. It is truly something remarkable! While 2018 typically brings a more bold and intense presence, this wine showcases only a slight hint of it in the mid-palate. However, everything is perfectly integrated on every level. If you haven't had the chance to visit Dusky for a tasting, I highly recommend making a reservation and letting them know that "A.J. sent you!" 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email once a month to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
