That’s not presented as a fact, and no source is needed, as it’s clearly an opinion on a subjective issue. It’s no more a fact than someone stating that CaddyShack is the greatest movie ever made.
Surely you jest – Caddyshack may be in the top 20, but the greatest movies of all time would have at the top of the list:
Godfather II
Godfather I
Field of Dreams
Shawshank Redemption
\
Caddyshack.
As for RRV, I concur that some of the best Pinot comes from RRV, but believe some pretty damn good wine comes from Santa Rita Hills, Sonoma Coast, and Monterey.
Agreed-
Field of Dreams is superior to something like Howard the Duck, but not sure by how much…
Godfather vs Caddyshack? No brainer- “It’s in the hole!!!”
As for RRV, ""Today, no region produces Pinot Noirs of such consistently high quality than Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley.” No region? Including 'Burg? Strong statement, but they are entitled to it. For domestic, I’m a bit more fond of some early-picked Sonoma Coast (north coast) these days.
Well the word consistently means burgundy is handicapped. Too many poor producers and the weather doesn’t cooperate every year. But best? It’s Burgundy, and that’s a fact!
Of course such a statement is by implication subjective, just like “Such and such place has the best pizza in town,” or “Joe Galewski has the cheesiest avatar on the whole site.”
I would agree but if you replaced Sonoma RRV with Santa Rita Hills, I would also agree. I’m pretty wishy-washy when it comes to agreeing with generalities.
It’s not outlandish by any means. RRV is one of the best places to grow Pinot Noir. Locally, I personally prefer some areas of the Sonoma Coast. And of course, there is Burgundy.
I think the way it was phrased was a bit boldly, but if someone approached me and said they think RRV makes the best Pinots in the world, I can respect that.
And Caddyshack is not the best movie ever made. It’s either American Beauty or Hoosiers.
The low life dimwits of this place amaze me! You guys have absolutely no class. It’s sad.
And I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man. Everybody knows the Big Lebowski is the greatest ever with Caddyshack a distant second.
And don’t get me started on the f^&*ing Eagles!
And in answer to the original question: It’s the Willamette stupid!
