King Estate Winery Paradox Pinot Gris Willamette Valley 2015

Yup, that was quick. Holy moly -- #5 is for the case buyers...normally $35!!!! 

BUT...first...2015. 2011 kid got a brother (see pic) and they destroyed many a case or two of wine in our sometimes (sometimes?) chaotic warehouse (hey guys, want to ride on the forklift???!). We smashed out the rest of the remaining walls and took over the whole building. We started going to the Rhone (that's us lost near Chateau Rayas). Added more cooling equipment. More servers. More pizza getting delivered. A taco truck started parking outside of our building, thank God (The Pearl of Jalisco, if you were wondering). The turkeys still roamed the property, gobbling at us angrily. And we did our first dope Oregon offering….it was time.

King Estate! A Willamette Valley, steadfast, rock-solid producer, we bought EVERY bottle we could of this last week for the ten year party, because...so hella-delish and did you see the price?? PARADOX is the top of the line, aged for 3 months in new French oak, a rarity for this varietal. My goodness, people, drink this all summer -- orange zest, bone dry, super-fresh and zesty and full of pear flavors, lime with a touch of honeysuckle-like ripeness that keeps it pumping. That touch of oak aging, rounds it out so beautifully! Clear, clean, pure and OUTRAGEOUSLY close to the price of 3 al pastor tacos and a Coke from La Perla de Jalisco. Happy 10th, kids, an insane deal!!
