It did great! That particular Pinot Noir is one of my favorites. A Burgundy barnyard nose. Big and rich with a velvety texture. More angular than round. Different flavoirs in various parts of the mouth. A distinct eathyness. Reserved dark stone fruit. Minerality in the background. Hints of vannila and nutmeg. The nutmeg note makes me think the oak barrels are from th Jupille forrest in France. About 30 seconds of finish. A complex wine that needs contemplation. If you can find it you should. About $20

I like to cook, I always have. That grew into meals that pared well with wine. This all started about 25 years ago when a wine group I was in became a food and wine club. I like making regional meals from the region the wine is from. So I guess one of my hobbies is eating and drinking. Truthfully, they are usually easy to prepair. The above meal took about 30 minutes to make. Why not eat well? And drink well.

Ménage a Trois Midnight

Kind of muddled with loads of crushed berries but little structure almost no tannins and a slight metallics note. The label does not say what the meritage contains but it must have some Cab Frank or Pitite Syrah since it is very dark. About $10.

Sampled some beautiful Chiantis today


Look for Gabianno Vintage 2011.
Classico Reserva
Classico.

They also had a red blend that was nice.

They should be out soon.

All of my customers loved them.

Rick, that is a good value wine.

Didn't say it was not a decent value. But for about the same price I can buy Gumdale Reserve Shiraz for example.
