今年第6回目開催の"Pinot Days"。文字通りピノの祭典。自身の参加は3年連続3回目。
前年は時間を1時間間違えて列のトップに並ぶ僥倖。今年は並ぶ人が若干少なめか。
回ったブースは42（昨年41、一昨年36）、飲んだワインは87種類。今年は頑張ったな。
口に含んでスピットを続け途中から口腔は麻痺。最後はグラスを持つ手が赤紫色に。

やはり2008年のAnderson Valleyは厳しいというのが感想。Sonoma、RRVは良好。
個人的な注目株はCoho, Furthermore, Sequana等。タイプは違うが余韻が美しい。
事前注目のBoekenoogenは甘く、Fulcrumは伸び不足。Calera新畑はタンニン堅牢。
注ぎ手に惹かれて飲んだJim Ball、PelerinのRosella's、滑らかKanzlerも記憶に残る。
印象としては酸重視のワインとザラメ系ワインに二極化。若いうちは飲みにくいものも。
今年はいつもお勧めを聞く二人連れ米国人が不在。KisaichiさんからはJCBを推奨。
同行takuyaさんが扱うAugust WestのEd KurtzmanさんはJoseph Swanをお勧め。
