Comments on: Blind Tasting of Value-Priced 2005 Bordeaux http://bricksofwine.com/2009/02/results-from-value-priced-2005-bordeaux/ Building a better blog on wine, winemaking and social media. Thu, 03 May 2012 15:02:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Sean Skea http://bricksofwine.com/2009/02/results-from-value-priced-2005-bordeaux/comment-page-1/#comment-444 Sean Skea Fri, 29 May 2009 07:19:36 +0000 http://bricksofwine.wordpress.com/?p=91#comment-444 Eric I briefly spoke to you and your lovely wife Sheri at Sixth Avenue Wine Bar early in May while visiting Seattle from NZ. You shared some of your wine with me and gave me your card. I always find these chance meetings fascinating more so because one gets to meet some very interesting people if only for a moment. I am back in New Zealand in Christchurch on the South Island. As I write I am sipping away at a NZ pinot noir which I can only urge you to try if you can. The 2007 vintage from Central Otago was ever so good - the 2008 is disappointing - overcropping. Of course NZ pinots are a fascination for me and I am still an absolute novice but do know what I like. There are clearly different terroirs expressing themselves between the 3 major areas i.e. Central Otago, Marlborough and Martinborough ( my favourite for more subtle expressions of pinot). The Central Otago pinots are very fruit forward and I certainly enjoy these. The Peregrine 2007 is absolutely lovely. Anyway thought I would send you an e-mail and see how you all are. Take care Sean Eric
