Three memorable wines

I hosted a wine night last night, and we went through 3 bottles of whites and 12 bottles of reds. I didn't sample everything, because I was too busy talking to people, but I did try maybe 5 or 6 of them, and three stood out. I had the Orleans Hill Cote Zero (2006) early in the night, and liked it, despite the "organic sulfite free" label. I noticed the Stolpman 2005 Syrah later in the night, and Jeff told me a little bit about where it's made and who Stolpman is. And finally, I wrapped up the night with the 2005 Echelon Pinot Grigio, which I will come back to and try to cook for some time. All in all, a great success!
