O'Reilly's 2004 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
This spicy, fresh and citrus-flavored wine is at the opposite end of the spectrum from winemaker David O’Reilly’s Owen Roe Pinot Gris. But it’s just as good, and perhaps more flexible as far as matching food. Finishes with crisp, leesy, mineral flavors.

O'Reilly's 2006 Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- Editors' Choice
- $15
This is hands-down the best value Pinot Noir made in Oregon, year in and year out. It’s firm and full-bodied, perfectly ripe, with lovely spices that range from pepper to cinnamon and allspice. The fruit lingers in the midpalate, round and tangy, with flavors of cherry and plum. It’s a thoroughly rich and satisfying wine that is big enough to work with dark poultry…

O'Reilly's 2005 Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A bit of residual sugar sticks out, rounding out and fruiting up this leesy, fresh wine. It shows the light citrus side of Oregon Gris.

O'Reilly's 2006 Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- Best Buy
- $13
O’Reilly’s is the budget label for Owen Roe, featuring an attentive wolfhound on the label. Crisp and bracing, this is loaded with textured pear and apple fruit, flavors of barrel fermentation and wonderful pearskin highlights.

O'Reilly's 2005 Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- $15
Light, tannic, leafy and earthy, which is not entirely inappropriate for a $15 Oregon Pinot. The herbal flavors come with the low-rent territory, but the balance and clean sweep of the wine demonstrate David O’Reilly’s sure winemaking hand. A well-made budget bottle.

O’Reilly’s Irish Cream Liqueur
- $20
The first nosing passes pick up fruity, cheesy scents of pineapple and cottage cheese; aeration stimulates an all-dairy bouquet with hints of cinnamon and rubber pencil-eraser odors. The palate entry is pleasantly creamy and spiced; at midpalate the cinnamon taste overwhelms the cream and spirit. The finish is long, creamy and vibrant.
