Wine Brief:
Suffering from a bad case of bronchitis, my palate is not in the best of form. That aside, let me just say, wow! I’m impressed by the ‘05 Bethel Heights Estate Grown Chardonnay. Apples and hints of pineapple and minerals, this wonderful wine eased my aching throat and teased my taste buds. I am planning to purchase a bottle, after only imbibing a glass tonight at the bar at the Hood River Inn in Oregon. My mom also enjoyed this finely crafted chardonnay. So, four thumbs up! Way to go, Casteels! I’m looking forward to enjoying more of this wine. If you want to read up on this wine before I track down a bottle to do a proper wine review, check out Bethel Heights’ website: www.bethelheights.com.

Thanks for the very kind words about the 2005 Chardonnay! Nice to know there is still some out there to try, because it’s all but gone everywhere. We’d mourn the end if the ‘07 weren’t so great! We hope you can make it out to the winery sometime soon to try the 2007 and visit with us.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I’m sorry to hear that the ‘05 is nearly gone, but I’m excited to try the ‘07! I certainly hope to visit BH some day soon, since it’s been several years since I’ve been to the Eola Hills.
