Tasting Notes

Day 21 of Oregon Sparkling! The rain was in full force today, giving us an idea of what is ahead of us for the next several months. I have accepted that summer is over, but posting these Sparkling photos makes my heart long for the sun to be out in full force. 🥂 Fact Muselet is the name of the wire cage that holds the cork secure. To open a bottle, remove the top section of the foil around the cork, then pull out the noose on the wire cage and turn it counter clockwise about half a dozen times. Now clutch the neck of the bottle and the cork with your thumb on the top as you rotate the bottle gentle with your other hand. Holding it at 45 degrees. 🥂 Winery - Remy The story of Remy Drabkin is astounding! At 8, she wanted to be a winemaker and was working her first harvest at 14. Her wine studies abroad were heavily influenced by Italian families, which she brought back to Oregon. Outside of wine, Remy is on the McMinnville City Council serving as President, holds a chair on the McMinnville Affordable Housing Commission, and liaison with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force. If that isn’t enough, Remy is also on the Oregon Wine Board. Visiting Remy is super easy with a location in Dundee seconds off of Highway 99. 🥂 Wine 2020 Black Heart 100% Pinot Noir . . . . 🥂 Want to know more The 2021 Oregon Sparkling Report is 47 pages filled with information on 29 producers and 37 labels and my top ten list.
