Bottle of red...bottle of white...
Here are the notes from our most recent wine tasting installment...
| Name | Notes | Courtesy of |
|---|---|---|
| Robert Mondavi Private Selection 2004 Johannisburg Riesling | Light, not too sweet, affordable | C&C |
| Consilience 2002 Syrah | Sobering sourly; blackberry finishing dry | C&C |
| Chateau Ste. Michelle 1997 Cold Creek Vineyard Cab Sauv Columbia Valley | Easy drinking! Not over powering; grapey with a clean finish | Ila & Nate |
| Hitching Post 2003 Generation Red | Try it with chocolate; Currrant after taste; quickly smokey but then billows out warmly on the way down | C&C |
| Marques de Riscal Rioja 2000 Reserva | Lush flavor landscape noticably different from the other California reds in the tasting; yum! | Betsy |
| Twin Fin 2004 Pinot Noir | Unpretentious pinot | April |
| Fess Parker Viognier-Chenin Blanc 2002 | Apricots, peach, lemon...delicious; in between a sauv blanc and chardonnay | C&C |
| Zaca Mesa 2002 Chardonnay | Crisp finishing chard | C&C |
| Elena 2004 Sauvignon Blanc | Sweet light white; would probably pair excellently with spicy take-out | Leeroy |
| Wilson Creek Decadencia (port) | First became popular when the English were at war with France; Yum!; best friends with chocolate; a port that puts its foot down | Jake & Julie |
| Clocktower Australian Port | sweet, carmely flavors; drinkable port | Alyssa & Bill |

I'm telling you, Yellowtail Merlot is off the hook.

Quick update, we tried the Electric Reindeer Merlot. It was very good, for a merlot! We also triend the Blackberry sulfite free wine. It was very sweet, almost to the point of being a port, but it was a nice change of pace. The Clos du Bois Zin was outstanding! I recommend it for those who don't like the full bodiness of a cabernet, but still want a somewhat complex flavored wine to go with a nice grilled steak.
