“Shut the door shut the door SHUT THE DOOR!”
SLAM CRASH “AH HAHAHAHA!” BANG THUMP
“Oh god. He’s completely destroyed the bookshelf, Richard. The Poe, the Oates, even the King… All of it’s gone! He’s ripped it all to shreds.”
“What about the video games?”
“I don’t know. He was using two discs of something as a mask when I ran past. Maybe they were DVDs, maybe they were games. I was afraid to stop for fear he’d know what I was up to.”
“This can’t continue! Timmy’s got to be stopped! We can’t hide in our bedroom for their entire visit! Why won’t your parents do anything?”
“They can’t. They’re paralyzed by our newborn child’s cuteness. The only thing my mother’s done since she got here was snarl at me when I suggested I hold MY OWN CHILD. I… I had to leave him behind, Richard! I had to leave our son to with the wolves!”
“Shhh. It’s going to be okay. You grabbed the wine, right?”
“Yes, and it wasn’t easy. With all of Timmy’s toys scattered everywhere, it’s a wonder I even made it here alive instead of tripping and bashing my head into one of these bottles from Bell Wine Cellars. ”
“Okay, so at least we have provisions. Let’s just focus on the positive for a bit. Sure, we’re trapped, but this bottle of Bell Wine Willamette Valley PN has aromas of spice and ripe red raspberries. Maybe its flavors of mineral and cherries and toasty oak will provide a nice upswing to a day when we’ve been forced to watch peanut butter be smeared on our nice television screen by a tiny person who can’t control his own bowels.”
“Let’s pop one of these open and start pouring. You didn’t happen to grab glasses, did you?”
”...”
“Right. Okay. We didn’t glasses anyway.”
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK “Bah DAHBAH!” KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK “DAP! YA YA YA YA SQEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
“Oh jeez, he’s at the bedroom door, Rick. HE’S GOING TO GET IN! DO SOMETHING!”
“Okay, don’t panic. I’m relatively certain he hasn’t figured out how door knobs work yet. I think. Maybe you should help me barricade the door with the dresser just in case.”
2012 Bell Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon 750ml 3-Pack
Bell Wine Cellars' Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has a bright cranberry color with aromas of spice and ripe red raspberries. On the palate, flavors of mineral and cherries give way to hints of toasty oak. This Oregon Pinot Noir has a core of bright acidity and fine tannins that enhances the delicate flavors of this wine. Lamb, duck or salmon pair well with this delightful wine.
Viticulture: Winegrowing in Oregon's Willamette Valley has been well established since the 1860s. The Valley is a large and climatically diverse region extending more than 150 miles from Portland to Eugene, dwarfing valleys such as Napa. Since the valley is exposed directly to maritime airflow off the Pacific Ocean, site selection and management is absolutely critical to fruit quality. Winters are mild, but cool, wet summers make the work of achieving optimum ripeness and balance every winemaker’s challenge. This Pinot Noir comes from a vineyard in the southern part of the valley, specifically situated above the fog line of the Valley floor, but below the wind line where ripeness is often impaired. The gently sloping, southern facing vineyards, featuring brick-red volcanic soils that drain particularly well, produce a Pinot Noir displaying dark ruby coloring and a robust palate.
In Oregon, each vintage is an expression of that year and place. Bell's Oregon Collection wines exhibit not only the classic characteristics of their varietals, but also unique nuances in their flavor profiles.
Situated off the beaten path, just south of Yountville, is an exquisite pale stone winery, shrouded by oak, bordered to the south by Hopper Slough, surrounded by vineyard and cloaked in quiet. After looking for twenty years, winemaker Anthony Bell found the perfect place to produce the wines he had long dreamed of - limited production, hand crafted wines that showcase the concept of "terroir". In 1998, Bell Wine Cellars opened its doors to the public to share the beauty of the place, and the wine.
In June 2002 - Ron Berberian, former California wine wholesaler, and Alex Spanos, owner of the San Diego Chargers, formed Spanos Berberian Winery, LLC. The venture acquired interest in the brand name and assets of Bell Wine Cellars, and a new partnership was formed with Anthony.
Nestled between the stacks of aromatic barrels and towering stainless steel tanks, guests can taste the signature Bell Cabernet, at the intimate, elegant tasting room. We also serve Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah, encompassing a wide range of flavors, from vineyards both near and far afield.
