About 4 years ago, after watching the movie "Sideways" (again) I noticed one of the bottles featured prominently in the film was a bottle of Sea Smoke Pinot Noir while the characters dined at the Los Olivos Cafe (just ate there 2 days ago... great place). At that point, I read some reviews on their wine and the comments were nothing short of stellar.... I found their website and signed up. The first 2 years, I didn't buy - too expensive, pure and simple. However, while visiting the Willamette Valley in Oregon in May 2007, I was speaking with one of the folks at the Archery Summit winery and I happened to mention my most recent Sea Smoke allotment and that I was unsure of whether or not to.... and she cut me off and said "Buy It". She then said that, if I wanted, she'd buy it from me.
Okay, I took her advice and haven't looked back. The Sea Smoke wines are flat out Delicious. I'm trying to be patient with a couple of the bottles... still have one 2005 (Botella, I think) and two from 2006 (Southing and Ten). Just ordered the 2007 a couple of weeks ago. I can't say enough about Sea Smoke... it's flat out phenomenal.... like my acquaintance in Oregon said, if you can get it...."Buy It".
