The great folks over at Lost Canyon are celebrating their newest wine with a release party this weekend. The 2006 Widdoes Vineyard pinot is Lost Canyon's first from this Russian River Valley vineyard, and the winemakers are calling it their Goldilocks wine... as in "just right."
Lost Canyon turns out vineyard-designate pinots and syrahs, as well a viognier, and the new Widdoes may well be my favorite out of all their stellar wines. The harvest was low, and there are only about 300 cases of Widdoes to go around. My advice? Get it while you can.
Taste the '06 Widdoes, and the rest of Lost Canyon's lineup at the release party on Saturday, November 17 from 1pm to 5pm.

[Full Disclosure: I have a business relationship with Lost Canyon, but my appreciation of their wine predates that relationship. I am not receiving any compensation of any sort for mentioning their wines here. I just like the stuff, and gladly buy and drink it.]
