Life - StatesmanJournal.com: "First, vintage 2007. What can we say about this rain-soaked, mildew laced, ornery growing season?

Well, I'll bet every wine maker throughout the Willamette Valley is at work trying to come up with a positive way to explain this one to the customer.

The last vintage of this dreary nature was, wow, exactly 10 years ago.

I remember winemakers getting defensive, if not downright argumentative, about the wines from that year.

How to put a positive spin on 2007? Call it 'Burgundian' and leave it at that."
