After that much good wine they could have been dancing in the streets and I would not have known.

2012 Bread & Butter riesling Napa
enough sweetness to be a good sipper, almost enough acidity to be a great match for the spiced up turkey burgers I had for dinner

2013, Polka Syrah lot D, Marchigue, Chile.

Jammy blackberry nose. Blackberry, peppery spice, chocolate, and a big rich texture.

Grecian style Australian lamb chops
Fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and grape tomato
Steamed wild rice
Poached Braeburn apples drizzled with chocolate

2012 Tatouage Encre

Not as fancy as Speyside but paired it with a NY Strip steak, perogies, and roasted brussell sprouts. Was a good dinner

Sounds delicious.

2015 Mark West Pinot Noir, California.

Brambly, cherry nose. Strawberry and Bing Cherry flavor. Rather light, a nice sipper on the patio on a warm evening. Could have put a light chill on it.

2015, Ch L'Etoile Trouseau Cotes du Jura, France

Dark stone fruit nose, flavors of cassis, elderberry, and mulberry. Quite interesting and unique.

Spey, are we ever gonna meet?

2008 Marquez de Caceres Rioja Reserva - outstanding bottle

^ true dat.

Cowhorn Spiral 36 Chardonnay (another local only vineyard) tremendous for a style I DON'T care for, not sweet but not biting and overly oakey (why I dislike Chardonnays) and a slightly viscous mouth feel which I never get from whites. Very nice after a pint of heavy Deschutes Abyss.

Some day Frank, some day for sure.

you near the tornado?

No, well north of me, though there is some severe weather coming south of me tonight.

2015 Mas des Bressades, Tradition Rouge-Domain Select, Costieres de Nimes, France

Brambley, earthy nose. Wild herbs, black raspberrys, and wet stone flavors. Always a good wine.

Bruschetta
Grilled pork chops with herbs de Provence
Steamed French green beans
Fromage blanc

2015, Chateau la Canorgue rouge, Cotes du Luberon, France

Brambley, earthy, smokey, herbs, mushrooms and leather. Great with BBQ.

Schmidt Family Vineyards
Serra Vineyards
Woolridge Vineyards

Flight at each, glasses at Serra (our fav) now at Woolridge. This place is cool because they also have they're own creamery.

Frank, emailed you a pic.
