Wines from around the world were featured. Luna Benegas Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina, 2005 rusty color but extremely juicy, a touch of gunflint on the nose. Very nice food wine.
Juan Benegas Malbec Argentina 2005 A touch earthy almost medicinal nose. juicy but a quick finish. maybe an off bottle.
Alonso del Yerro 2005 Dark and rich , smell of wood. great food wine.100 percent tempranillo. Ribero del Duero is one of my favorite regions of spain, the wines seem more intense and also more expensive.
Cartlidge and Brown Chardonnay 2006 California. Juicy, a touch harsh on the finish, with hints of vanilla and lemon. good value
Dain Savage Juliet Pinot Noir Anderson Valley 2006 David Smith is a local wine maker who has been making wines for a few years now and getting some good notice from wine writerrs. A lighter style wine with nice soft fruit and easy drinking . parker gave it 91 pts.
Almost wine of the day was Luzon Verde 2006 100% monastrell or mourvedre, that is made organically. last vintage tasted a little green to me, this one is nice and juicy with touch of tobacco on the finish. with fruit carrying through to the end. a bargain at $9
