The Heartbreak Of Misunderstanding
When I first met Bianca, I was all "Hey, sure, I love wine!" even though I never actually knew anything about wine really. But I do know what I like, and what I like is fruit and toasted oak, especially when it's involved with rich sauces, game, and salmon. And I was so happy when Bianca said that was exactly what SHE liked TOO!
But then she handed me a Chateau Bianca Library Oregon Pinot. And I was like "Oh! It's a clue!" And so I loaded up the car and set out on the road to where our little love nest would be. I figured it would smell like flowers and spice and earth overtones.
Guess I misread the signals. I searched for Library, Oregon for hours and found NOTHING by that name. I was so mad I just deleted Bianca from my phone right away. Now I've got 137 messages and a whole bunch of texts that read WHERE ARE YOU and PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE ALIVE but whatever. Movin' on.
Features
2002 Chateau Bianca Estate Reserve Oregon Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 750ml 2-Pack
This classic Burgundy style Pinot Noir has pretty floral, spice, and earth overtones. The fruit character is well balanced with the toasted oak character and the well balanced tannins. Delightful with rich sauces, game dishes, salmon, pastas and more. This bottle aged beauty is a real treat for those who have never enjoyed an aged Pinot Noir. Use a generous bowled glass to get the full aromatic effect. Just remember, you can’t leave this one on the counter, open it and drink it!
