Groovy coffee...and wine

For you caffeinated Save-the-World types, check out justcoffee.coop. They do good things, and the coffee ain’t that bad either….at least, from what I understand. I’ve only had the decaf, cuz I can’t handle caffeine (it makes me too twitchy). But I have die-hard coffee-swilling friends who drink the real stuff, and have heard good things.

In other news: All the winos around here have come to the same conclusion…the 2008 pino noir harvests from Oregon are yielding terrific wines…best in several years, is what I’m told. So get ready to stock up, cuz they be hitting the market soon. Some favorites:

Willamette Valley Vineyards (regular pinot is best, but the “whole cluster fermented is good too, just a bit lighter)

Girardet Wine Cellars (Baco Noir)

Witness Tree Vineyard (incredible chardonnay as well….I got futures!)

Bethel Heights Vineyards (TIP: The Southeast Block pinot is best)
