Looking to Europe

We have written many times recently of the troubled 2010 and 2011 wine grape vintages here in North America, and while there are exceptions many of the wines we have tasted are not very good. Recently we have tried the 2010 Skylark Pinot Blanc and the 2011 Skylark Pink Belly dry rose and have found both to be exceptional. Similarly the 2010 Josh Cabernet and 2010 Pennywise Pinot Noir have been very good, and there are others too that appear to have either been picked prior to the harvest time weather woes, or have come from vineyards that were so tightly and expertly managed that the wines are still very good.
