The Wine Knows

Looking for some wonderful insight into the Oregon wine scene with a lot of international flavor tossed in? Elevage has joined the "must read" spot in my RSS feed. It's written by Vincent Fritzsche, a Portland resident who loves wine, apparently goes to a lot of wineries, makes his own noncommercial Pinot Noir and is hoping to get into the wine business.

From my reading, he is extremely knowledgeable and a terrific writer. He'll sometimes go awhile without posting, but that seems to be rare.

I actually read his blog a year or more ago when I stumbled upon an item in which he was ranting that we didn't cover Oregon enough. Last night, I spent way too much time catching up on his blog instead of finishing my article on Pinot Noir.

With his tasting experience and honesty, this is a guy I'd like to have on one of our judging panels.
