You edited the original post, but I wanted to comment on Argyle.

Argyle is obviously one of the top Willamette Valley producers. Some other great producers: Ponzi (my personal favorite, but you can't get it anywhere around here), Van Duzer, A-Z (not great, but reasonable), Domaine Drouhin (from the same famous producer in Beaune, a city in Burgundy France), and others that I'm likely forgetting.

Try to find a Ponzi if you can. Ponzi and Argyle are my benchmarks for the region; if they can't make sense of the grapes that year, then I don't carry much hope

[edit]I realized I called A-Z great. Thought I'd take that down a notch just so people aren't disappointed if they try it.[/edit]

i tasted the argyle in class and it was one of the most pleasurable experience ever. and i really cant believe the price point. in my experience, it's really difficult to find a good pinot noir under 35.

i think i will give some of your above suggestions a try. i have actually only had one alsatian riesling and if anything, those are the true dry rieslings. all the rieslings that i get from germany, even labeled trocken, are pretty sweet.

ps. always awesome to talk to a fellow wine lover.
