Roasted lamb and..............

sirwillyofwallawallaMember

Wow, busy week. Had a pre-harvest party (harvast had already started- early). I roasted a 65lb. lamb on a spit in my backyard over my stone laid firepit. It was fantastic! Made a stew last night with the leftovers. Mediterranian stew with artichokes and lentils. Here are some of the wines we drank;
with the stew last night
97 Morgan Pinot Noir- drink now, loosing it's edge
98 EIEIO Pinot Noir- beatiful wine, rich, spicey, well balanced with cherry and raspberry flavors- from the Willamette Valley- can be ordered from the Tasting Room in Carlton, OR 503-852-6733
99 Pernand Vergelesses Rapet Pere & fils- Stinky and outstanding! I'm buying more of this today.
BBQ wines- there were 41 bottles in the morning, but here are the few I had and recommend;
99 Dunham Syrah multiple bottles
97&99 Dunham "Shirly Mays"
93 Woodward Canyon Artist Series Cabernet
98 Dunham Cabernet- Some of this is still available at Larry's Market in Seattle at Oak Tree
97 Marryvale Profile
98 Marryvale Reserve Merlot
01 Buty Chardonnay
99 Pepper Bridge Cabernet multiple bottles
97 Byron IO Rhone blend
97 Produtori del Barbaresco "Rabaja" yummy
00 Verget Pouilly- Fuisse
97 Bombauer Lardmead Cellars Cab
99 Beaucastel Ch de P.
Betz Family 98? red
and the crappy bottle of the night was a 98 Raveswood Zin that just didn't have any fruit.
It was a great party and now I must go back to crush.

And those Zin lovers would recommend that with lamb.

Nina Buty was pouring the '01 Chards at Pike & Western today. Had a nice chat with her, liked the Conner Lee better than the Roza Bergbe. Caleb was busy making wine, & is still waiting for his hat back.

Sounds like enough wine for Cornholio to make an appearance.

Sir Willy:
Great party. Regarding the EIEIO, which one did you try? It is my understanding that Mr. McDonald (hence the EIEIO) makes E, I, and O bottlings. I picked up 2 bottles of the 1999 "O" on my PNW trip, and am anxious to try one.

Blobby, apparently missed you by minutes at P&W. Nina and I went out and drank French Syrah. Caleb will be at M&S tomorrow - maybe see you there?

Happy Birthday Zach!

Darn! I was in kind of a hurry to make it to Pike Brewing for a Kiltlifter before happy hour ended at 6:00. I had thought about e-mailing you to see if you might bring some Chaleur, but decided that a couple '99 Domaine Drouhin Laurene, '88 Malvedos & '99 Q.C. Red would about fill my budget.
I was back this morn, stopped by a friend's in lower Q.A.; thought about M&S, but figured that would look greedy. I also have a Wifely curfew/honey-do & lawn to mow.

Had I checked online this morn, who knows? Was Wino there?
I skipped a 2:00 Port tasting at The Spanish Table, but doubt I missed much in the '83 Q. do Infantado, even though the winemaker was there.

P.S. Oh, yeah, after that luscious lamb adobo at the Soiree, I was inspired to grill some last weekend for our leftover-wine dinner, but it was not nearly as good.

Sir Typo Waiting to Happen:
Just wondering if that Bombauer Lardmead actually is Rombauer Larkmead although I don't recall any Rombauer by that particular name?
And was it just you and the B-Day boy at the dinner?
