The wine in question has some "spritz" even at sea level, one of
the fine qualities of most of the wine at Chateau Benoit. A move
to higher altitde would make the bubbles larger, perhaps more
active.

Nice to hear about Oregon wine.  Those of you who haven't tried
them are in for a plesant surprise.  Varietal whites and Pinot Noir
that are outstanding.  Some of the best are smaller wineries that
don't get out very far.  My favorites are Schafer and Benoit.  The
limited selections that make it to Colorado from the biggies 
(Amity, Sokol Blosser, and Knudesen-Erath) aren't very exciting.

  ( Just two cases?  Gosh, I drank more than that on my move out 
    here.)
