Doug from Golden Barrel

Tasting of 3 wines.
Grand Veneer Rose Cote du Rhone 2006 Hearty red in the bottle for a rose, turned to salmon in the glass. Mostly grenache, a touch of strawberry, and blueberry with a soft finish. In the store for around $15.

Castoro Cellars Zinfusion 2005 A blend of vineyards that Castoro uses. Opaque color of ruby soft, lush and with 14% alcohol surprisingly not hot.

Regalat Zin 05 Napa Its always fun to have a weird bottle. The nose smelled medicinal and plastic, the flavors were strong tannin and medicine. At first I thought it was plastic meets bacon fat but then plastic stayed with it. Needless to say I wont have this in the store.
