Vintegrity and JP Gilmore wines

McKinlay Pinot Noir Oregon 2007 typical of the 07 I have seen. light color maybe a touch of rust in the glass. some earthiness to the nose, light cherry fruit and simple flavors but nice everyday pinot.. around $18

Seis Rioja bright purple color, sweet fruit but missing something in the middle, finishes pleasant. 100% tempranillo and definitely new world style.

Ficklin 1991 Vintage Port California they have only done 9 vintage bottlings since they opened almost 50 years ago. this one seems to be more tawny in nature.. it does use the same grapes as found in portugal but just not the same. toffee on the finish. a dull sheen to the liquid.
