JENS’ PICKS - Who's Jens? 
Jens' Featured Wine of the Week ...

Walnut City Wineworks 2007 Pinot Noir (OR) Reg $21.99 | Sale $19.99 | Case $15.99 Walnut City Wineworks was founded in 1984 by John Davidson and John Gilpin. Currently they own and manage 200 acres of vineyards in the Willamette Valley. The winery is located in the heart of historic McMinnville. We served almost 1700 glasses of the 2006 vintage at the wine bar!  Tasting notes: One of the best deals in the valley. No doubt.  Elegant & fascinating.  Aromas & flavors of dark cherry, mixed dark fruit, dried leaves & spice. Some oak nuances on the finish. The toasty tannins add more depth to the elegant finish. This wine for this price? We have tasted much worse for double, triple the price. Food pairing: OK, you finished the first bottle of Pinot but your guests want more ... This is your second bottle. Drink now to 2 years.
