Innocent Bystander Pinot Gris 2007 Australia.. mineral nose, wet stone is my comments throughout. good acidity...just not overly juicy style..

Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay 2006 Margaret River Australia.. mouthfilling, toasty oak on the side of the tongue there has to be some ML going on... 06 is their current release.. with 07 on the way

Laughing Magpie from d'Arenburg Australia... shiraz and viognier blend
dark purple, juicy with vanilla and dark fruit overtones... very nice

Kilikanoon Killermans Run Shiraz 2007 dark cherry flavors, lots of up front fruit but quickish finish...coffee seems to be appearing

from Bridgeview out of oregon, said to be the largest winery in Oregon

Blue Moon Pinot Gris 2008 Oregon light yellow color, sweeter than expected on the palate..brings out the fruit well though, long finish but a touch hot on the end.

Blue Moon Riesling 2008 pretty nose, honeysuckle and stone fruits.. good acidity and a nice enough finish'

Blue Moon Pinot Noir Oregon 2007... have to say one of the better pinot from this vintage in this pricepoint I have tried.. light rusty garnet, mushroom earth and nice fruit extraction , weak finish was its major drawback... still pleasantly surprised by this one
