Holiday Gifts - I Oregon
If you start now you can order some of the most interesting and delicious wine gifts online. If you wait, you can still get good stuff at your local wine shop, Trader Joe's, Costco, etc, but these are exceptional.. Here are some specific recommendations of some of the best wines I've tasted this year. Some are hard to get, some are expensive, but they are all worth the effort. Some are easier to order and relatively inexpensive, too. Sometimes you can order over the phone or go to the winery directly, but, however you order these wines, do it soon. Just think with a case or two of fabulous wine at good prices your can take care of all your Holiday shopping - no crowds, no Black Friday! In most cases, you can go to the winery website for ordering information.These gift ideas are in no particular order - just a stream of consciousness like a stream of wine flowing into your glass.

Hello,
I enjoy your blogs about wine and the Seattle area,
I recently tried to purchase some wine, 4 bottles
of a Maysara Pinot, from Wines That Work in Fall
City. They sent a different vintage than the
website stated was available, and I requested to
return it as their return policy states a "prompt
refund" for "any reason" within 30 days. However,
they have refused to do this saying an offer to
sell at 1/2 price was fair. They are refusing my
return shipment at my cost.
I suggest you become aware of this, and may want
to post a comment on your blog,- here is his reply:
********************************
You will not be credited anything. I told you what
to do and offered a solution. and you never
responded to me or us. I will reject any shipment
to us based upon a vintage year change. We could
have resolved this and i offered many ideas and i
guess you refused. good luck to you.
