Dealy lane canernet

Correct.

for some reason, i picked up a bottle of two-buck-Chuck cabernet sauvignon at Trader Joes a few weeks ago, though I think it may have been $3.99.

Charles Shaw. Tell ya what, wasn't bad at all.

Spain and Portugal have been producing tons of good juice on the cheap for several years now...though I do not know the one you mention, I am guessing it is from Spain?

Toad Hollow rose last night with strawberries and red raspberrys. It was refreshing and matched the fruit well. Pinot Noir based.

Villa Wolf Pinot Noir Rose 2015

been doing a couple bottles of this label per Summer for 3 years now, very refreshing. Really washed down some curried turkey burgers at dinner tonight.

Allen, you seem to be trending to bigger reds as the weather warms up, other than the Toad Hollow.

I am interested in reds that drink well when lightly chilled. Any you'd care to suggest?

Almost any Beaujolais village. I usually get the Georges Debuof as it is usually avalible. A couple of others that come to mind are Louis Jadot village, and Joseph Drouhin village. The only Beaujolais Gran Cru light enough is Fleurie. As far as Pinot Noir, any light well made Pinot, the type you would describe the fruit as strawberry. Mark West California, De Loach California, and Castle Rock come to mind. I chill reds 20 minutes in an ice and water bucket.

I'm not sure, but Speyside knows more than me. My guess is to refrigerate and then let sit at room temp for about 30 minutes? Allen?

I've just "cooled down" a few and enjoyed them...mostly pinot noirs, but only those that are lighter in body. In recent years I have come across some fairly full and fruit forward pinots, so much so that I would have guessed cabernet...so not those.

Today's Boston Globe food section lists 3 that fit the description, I have not had any yet, but here is what they suggest for drinking "slightly chilled leading us from Spring to Summer with ease".

Le Cantine di Indie " Polpo Rosso" Terre Siciliane 2014-around $17

Domaine Mont de Marie "Anatheme" Rouge 2013- around $18

Weingut Darting Pinot Meunier, Pfalz 2013 around $20

If I am able to find any, I will report. Would you like to try one or three if I am successful? It would be my pleasure, sir.

Not that I have had the Weingut, but a Pinot Meunier from the Pfalz sounds like a good choice.

For my taste a light Pinot Noir, a Beaujolais, or a Rose are good fish pairings.

Georges Debuof Beaujolais village chilled lightly.

Most days I have 2 glasses of wine, hardly enough to be drunk.

I broke open (ok, really used the corkscrew) one of the bottles you dropped off. The Pinot . Yum!

Just messing with you. Usually when I open a bottle I'm afraid it may spoil.

I normally just consume the remainder to prevent spoilage.

Warm day so a chilled Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc hits to spot.

I love chit like that.

for Father's Day barbecue at my house (natch), chilling a bottle of Rene Couly Rose and a bottle of Domaine Sainte-Eugene
"Corbieres" 2013, a red from France but "on the native soil of Fontfroide, near the Mediterranean Sea"

One of my "wine guys" said Oh yeah, great red for chilling. I'll report once emptied.

the range of sweet to dry is huge with rieslings. what is this one like?

thanks

Brand new wine coming out soon


I sampled it yesterday with customers and all ordered multiple cases.



Cline Vineyard
Cashmere Black Magic.



It should hit here in the next 30 days. Ask for it....you should be able to get some.

Had the same Corbieres that Frank did, wanted to compare notes. Very good wine , but insipid when to cold. This is a wine that should be drank at traditional room temperature, 57 degrees. Depending on one's refrigerator between 1/2 hour and 1 hour chill, just to the point of being cool. The wine had a dark cherry and blackberry nose. Similar flavors with the addition of a hint of vanilla and a hint of sage.
