Touché Presents a
Pinot Noir Tasting

With Jim Anderson of Patricia Green Cellars

We received the call the day our Spring Newsletter was mailed. Mr. Jim Anderson the co-owner of Patricia Green Cellars in Oregon was traveling through Cleveland and wanted to know if we were interested in a petite wine dinner featuring six pinot noirs from his award winning winery. We said Yes! We have always had one of Patricia Green Cellars pinot noirs on our wine list. We thought it would be interesting to showcase five pinot noirs from different AVA located throughout the Willamette Valley.

Patricia Green Cellars is located in the Ribbon Ridge district of Yamhill County on the 52 acre estate purchased in 2000 by Patty Green and Jim Anderson. The winery, and thus the two friends, are noted for producing a tremendously broad selection of Pinot Noirs from far flung vineyards representing some of the better sites in the Ribbon Ridge, Dundee Hills, Chehalem Mountains, and the Yamhill-Carlton growing regions. We look to produce Pinot Noirs that show the distinctions of the sites we work with. All of the vineyards we either maintain or purchase fruit from are extremely well-tended sites that seek to grow the best fruit possible through rigorous attention to detail on every single vine.
