Wines for Monday

Almost mid november and the wines are still coming into the store. Lots of choices and unfortunately not that many nice ones today.

Pinnacle with Craig Rohner. Danjan Berthoux Bourgogne Rouge 2005 High expectations with this one given the vintage but some upfront cranberry but not much of a finish. pretty mousy wine for the money.

Onix 2006 from Spain . Good dark fruit and color is pretty. lengthy finish for a $14 wine. made from grenache and carignane.

Can Blau 2006 a blend of carignan syrah and grenache. a potent combination from montant in spain. beautiful nose of violets and leather. a bit quick on the finish but pretty none the less.

Charles Smith holy cow merlot 2006 I have to say this was one of the first K wines I did not like. The holy cow chardonnay was alright but the merlot tasted green, not terribly interesting. He rights of the wine tasting of tobacco,, well maybe like the stale tobacco you get from bars after a hard night. passed on this one


The good news is Dane Wines are back in stock and I will have the American Beauty 2006 here starting tomorrow. only 9 cases came to kansas city of this wine. should be great.
