Greenwood Ridge Vineyards/Anderson Valley Pinot Noirs/AllanGreen

Another great feature with Allan Green combines with two great Pinot Noirs from Anderson valley,AND a couple baseball stories,and a perfect match or two.That's what I'm talking about!We have two wines ,so let's get right to it and check out the tasting notes and more of the history of this amazing winery from Anderson valley. For Allan, work and fun are different aspects of the same reality. He created the California Wine Tasting Championships in 1983, a contest in which tasters of every level of proficiency competed in wine identification. The only event of its kind in the country, Allan presided over the competition with characteristic flair and wit until the 30th and final competition in 2012. Now Allan has created a new event, the California Wine Pairing Championships, to highlight our Wine Club Weekend, set for the second weekend in August. If Allan isn't in the vineyard or the winery, you can find him playing centerfield for the World Champion Greenwood Ridge Dragons, who in 2007 (and again in 2008!) won the 50+ World Championship at the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2009, the Dragons also won the Fall Classic in West Palm Beach, Florida. In 2011 the Dragons won their fourth world championship in five years at the MSBL World Series in Phoenix in the 60+division.re of the history of this amazing winery from Anderson valley. 2013 Pinot Noir **** "Supple and full bodied, this is a fairly rich wine with fruity, spicy, toasty aromas/flavors and a long, smooth finish, tasting of plum, cherry, pepper, toast, and herbs." ---Restaurant Wine Magazine Mendocino Ridge Estate bottled 0.80 T.A., 3.75 pH 13.8% alcohol 100% French oak Barrel aged 8 months Suggested cellaring: up to 4 years Bottled August 28, 2014 Release date: January 2015 550 cases produced 2013 Hundred Point Pinot Noir The Hundred Point name comes from a rocky promontory on the nearby Mendocino coast, where, legend has it, one hundred ships have been wrecked.
