At Scott Paul PDX, 5-8 pm. When Scott is tasting through cellars in Burgundy and Champagne, he is looking for wines that are made with meticulous care and passion.

In the past, a difficult and demanding season in the Burgundian vineyards used to lead to a lot of spotty wines. More and more that is no longer the case. The viticultural vigilance of the new generation of vignerons, sorting tables now in use nearly everywhere, and temperature-controlled fermentations now being the norm ar

I am a runner, and I am a husband and a father. Tears well up in my eyes and a sick feeling churns in my stomach with every thought of the senseless tragedy in Boston yesterday. I think of the rush of joy I get in knowing that my family will be there along the [...]

Back from a quick trip to Champagne, and happy to report that everything I tasted over the last week from our producers was more than to my liking.

I’m writing from an airport hotel at Charles de Gaulle in Paris, as I have a 7am flight out in the morning. Man am I glad I arrived here when I did this afternoon at 6pm – I just went downstairs to get a bottle of water and saw a line of about 250 unhappy [...]

Another day of rolling up the sleeves and doing what needs to be done. Tasting another 50 or so wines, in various states of evolution. Don’t try this at home… Actually it was not a day to roll up the sleeves – a mix of snow and freezing rain has been falling since early this [...]

Another rough day on the job, starting off with a tasting at Forget-Chemin in the village of Ludes (which would have been a very popular village in the US in the 70s, but I digress…) Thierry Forget is a bright, focused, and talented vigneron who’ve enjoyed getting to know. Not only does he make great [...]

Well, I had hoped to sleep for six hours and run 15 miles. I ended up sleeping about 14 hours and running six miles – but it’s all good. Feeling much more human now, and ready to take on the week’s schedule of tasting, tasting, tasting… Speaking of which, I just finished tasting all the [...]
