2012 Evesham Wood Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon

 We have had a lovely few days in Charleston, SC.  Warm & sunny, trees and window boxes bursting in bloom.  It renewed our spirits and reminded us that this grey winter will pass and spring is not far away ... even though we came home to snow and ice.  First night, we ate at The Ordinary, on upper King Street.  First impression was a beautiful space but loud.  The noise level seemed to settle down once we were seated, welcomed, and ordered this delicious Willamette pinot noir ($52).  Lovely well-rounded and juicy flavors of cherry, raspberry and a hint of lemon zest. 
                            We tried several small plates, New Orleans style BBQ shrimp
                                         Crispy fried oysters with beef tartare
                                    Peekytoe crab Louie cocktail with radish and tomato.


                      Peekytoe crab toast, then chocolate terrine with hazelnuts & creme anglaise
