Keeler Eastate Vineyards

Drinking the Chardonnay I traded a painting for today. Keeler 2011 Estate Vineyard Chardonnay. Eola Hills AVA. Hints of melon and warm honey on the nose, nice body with lush mouth-feel. Tart with just a hint of citrus and a little honey that slides over the sides of the tongue leading to a smooth finish. Tiny bit of oak for smoothness.Really a fine wine. You can feel the energy from the vines in this one. Bio-dynamic Chardonnay at it's best.
Get it while you can. http://www.keelerestatevineyard.com/EstateWines.html

About the "One Bottle" Project

A number of years ago I was tasked with finding a way to raise money to help with operation costs fora local chamber orchestra. I have many friends in the wine business and know that they are continually ask for cases, half cases, bottles, tastings, etc, and that it gets old fast. They are all very giving and caring people but they can't give away all their wine to help other people.
With that in mind, I decided that if I were going to ask anyone for wine, I would do it in person and just ask for one bottle. I drove my Subaru Legacy Wagon all over the state, putting on 180,000 miles.
The first year I gathered over 150 and last year I ended up with 259 bottles of Oregon wines for our auction. This year I gathered less because I knew that too much wine would be a problem for a "mixed" auction. This year I plan to create an auction for just the wine, separate from any other event.I was given wines from every wine region we have. I drove from Cave Junction (Foris) to Milton Freewater (Zerba) and to Bend (Volcano) Bonanza (12 Ranch) and the coast(Flying Dutchman). I traveled all over the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon on my quest, met hundreds of wonderful wine people, made new friends, and tasted the bounty of Oregon.
I look forward to this years journey in my brand new Subaru Legacy and the support of all who helped last year and the year before, and of my wonderful wife, who puts up with this crazy idea!
