Hi All! One more day until the weekend and a great couple of days of sunshine here in D/FW. I was trolling the wine aisle at Kroger (don’t judge) and came upon the 2015 Thor’s Well Devil’s Churn Pinot Noir from Oregon. The winery was named after Thor’s Well, which is a part of Cape Perpetua, a headland that extends out into the Pacific Ocean. It is located off of Oregon’s coast. Jets of water are forced into the air from the power of the ocean tide and waves at Thor’s Well. That was enough back story for me to buy this wine. Thor’s Well is one of God’s natural gifts and is really exciting to see (at least on video). Thor’s Well, the Pinot Noir, is not so exciting to taste. You smell notes of a berry jam, but that doesn’t really depict the taste. There was a slight sulfur and mineral taste to this wine and then…not a lot after that. I tried it with salty, rich, sweet and even mild foods, but nothing really worked. I was somewhat disappointed by this wine after having witnessed a video of its namesake. Perhaps the name should be Thor’s Shallow Ditch because it didn’t have a lot of depth. I would recommend going to see Thor’s Well, but not sure I’d recommend drinking Thor’s Well wine. If you are interested, you can find it for approximately $17 per bottle. Have a great rest of the week and weekend!
