January 30, 2008 This is the 305th issue of the PinotFile. A large issue of 26 pages, it features extensive coverage of 2005 and 2006 Oregon Pinot Noirs. Why so long? Well, Tim Atkin, MW, sums it up very well: "I believe that the place where a wine was made, not to mention the character, ambition and talent of the person who made it, is highly relevant to how that wine tastes. I want to know about these things, just as I want to know about vintage conditions, personal eccentricities, and a winemaker's take on the world. All these things make wine different; all these things make wine special." I hope that I have given you some insight into Oregon's Pinot Noir producers that will make your drinking experiences truly special. Now, open a good bottle of Oregon Pinot, turn on the fireplace, kick back, and spend some time with this issue of the PinotFile.
