Nice article on PTV view the article here

Very interesting they way you described the pepper. I need to buy some and find out,
Another great show!
Best show to date! Going to get that Cabernet Franc.
I would have been alarmed by the color of the Cab Franc, looked very light. Nice to see it turned out. Thought it would be flabby. Washington State is really killing this varietal. Early 1990’s plantings are really starting to produce some good fruit. They’re using it in some of their cheap blends, really in a rut with these. Love them. Really adds a nice dimension to some of these blends. Like drinking five or six different wines from the same bottle. Not really good food paring wines but they’re a fun stand alone adventure.
I agree. It looked like pinot noir!
I actually think I have been to this winery a few years ago. Nice place.
I love Cab Franc and watched the episode after catching your Twitter post.
Liked the show, and the wines sounded interesting, but man, you have to find some better descriptors than “nice” – I ended up focussing more on its use than what you were actually saying about the wine.
Good show though, I’ll have to check out some of the other videos.
I disagree, I think you nailed the description of overly spicy and peppery and then touch on the merlot adding candied fruit. Great show.
Just bought the wines for tnite, getting ready!!
Chris great live tasting tonight, can’t wait for next one.
Great job, I learned a lot tasting with you.
