2006 Costa de Oro Pinot Noir

A Toast! 

On the penultimate eve of the birth of my second son Ethan, I wish to toast those who came before him in 2008. To Sarah Grace Ervin, a toast. To Sam Eagan, a toast. To Jackson Oliver, a toast. And to all of their parents, a toast.

I toast you all with a bottle of Costa de Oro Pinot Noir that was recommended highly by Village Wines. It runs in the $20 range but is well worth it. I tend to like the bigger reds such as zinfandel but I want to drink more Pinot Noir this summer. I wish I could compare it to another but I can't you will have to take my word for it. It's Great! And besides I am in a much more reflective mood about family than to think if it smells like berries or licorice. My future will smell of much more exotic things. 

A toast to the adventure we are all on!
