long-time love, new-time love & the pinot report

Firesteed Pinot Noir, 2007 from Oregon. $19.99 @ Willow Park in Calgary

just returned from a night of watermelon, skittles, and pinot noir with my lovely friend A, her husband, and HER NEW SON!! (who is BEAUTIFUL and declined to spit up on me in favour of falling asleep in my arms. Perfect : ) 

Now that I can drink again, I can finally start making tasting notes (which, for someone who loves archives, lists, words, and writing in general, is half the fun). Here is a cheap-ish pinot that makes a good summer wine...

Tasting Notes: light red fruit, tart strawberries, fairly high acidity yet easy to drink, would be fun to decant as it was a bit too tart (might've been the skittles, though).
