Mom had her brunch, now YOU get the score. Quadruple 91-point Pinot Noir from this artisan producer up in the Dundee Hills...for way, WAY under $20?!?!

I feel like I’ve just emerged from a three-day fever dream of hollandaise sauce, frantic floral deliveries, and trying to explain to my mother why I still haven't replaced my two-decade old, obscenely massive truck...and man, I need a win. Not just a win — I need a score. A kind of Monday miracle — that saves lots of dough, but doesn’t skimp on quality.

Well, HUZZAH! Happy Monday, you beautiful, Pinot-hungry people! Furioso is in da’ house! Wildly passionate, artistically and architecturally curious, salt-o’-the-earth vintner Giorgio Furioso is stating a compelling case to become your new best friend in the Oregon wine biz. He’s a world-class artist who built a gorgeously modern winery in the Dundee Hills that looks like something out of a Kubrick film...but the juice?!?! The juice is pure, unadulterated, soul-cleansing JOY.

And today? We are taking his aura-bending Willamette Pinot and whacking it over the head until the price drops to... just SEVENTEEN DOLLARS!!!

For QUAD 91 POINT Willamette Pinot Noir?! That is a full 57% OFF! I’ve seen people pay more for a "bespoke" toast point in San Francisco's Mission District. This is an absolute JAW-DROPPING steal of a magnitude that usually requires the collusion of a corrupt judge, a dirty politician, and the greased palms of some robotic figurehead in the mainstream media. I’m talking CONSPIRACY THEORY level thievery — just for you people!

FURIOSO VINEYARDS is the real deal, folks. We’re talking about prime-time estate fruit from two KILLER plots in Willamette Valley. Dundee Hills’ Furioso Vineyard and the recently added Yamhill-Carlton plot known as Trovato. And…oh, BABY...this is GORGEOUS. Definitely cool-climate to its core — with that delicate, gently extracted, ethereal "ethos" that reminds me of the cult-iest of cult-y Central Coast Pinot producers in Cali.

Think red cherries...sun-ripened strawberries...and this wild, savory live wire of tomato leaf that just zips across the palate like a SR71 Blackbird! It’s got white pepper, hibiscus, and salted plums ricocheting off your tastebuds, followed by a rose apple and pomegranate piquant-ness and a cooling pine-and-graphite sensation that is soooooo vibrant, you’ll think you’re breathing in alpine air at 5,000 feet. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate calls it "refreshing and easy to drink" with "alluring scents of mossy bark." and I’m on board there. It’s elegant, it’s spicy, it’s woodsy, and refreshing — and it’s UNDER TWENTY DOLLARS!!!

This is going to vanish faster than my dignity at a late-night karaoke session. Consider this the bottle you pop when the sun is shining, the vibe is vibing, and you want to keep things rocking all…day…LONG!

At this cray-cray price…LOAD UP! While it lasts!
