Gelida Cava Rose 2005 Light pretty pink color, touch of strawberry a touch of earth...i would have included this in the february issue of tastebud for valentines wines. $15 Cava is the sparkling wine of Spain.

Torbreck Semillon Australia 2006 Woodcutters Mineral mose, light round very easy drinking wine. almost passes for unoaked chardonnay.. you can see my notes a few days ago about semillon. this one seems to sell a little but partly because of the name the winery has.

Knipser kabinet Pfalz 2006 Light aromas, stone fruits on the finish, but not a wildly exciting white wine.

Elderton Friends 2004 Cabernet from Australia also. nice fruit but not a fruit bomb that i was expecting, restrained, a touch of cherry fruit

Gilles Robin Croze Hermitage Rhone 2005 Dark colors and aromas but a light finish almost like a pinot noir...what gives...i know that croze is the distant red haired step child to Hermitage but I still expected something more from this bottle. Very disappointed


Immach Batterierberg Enkircher Batterieberg Spatlese Mosel 2006 After all that I was expecting a sweet thing and what I got was a dry almost alsace style wine..which i am told is the style of batterieberg... it had good viscousity and i did get some lime and tropical fruit on the front but hard to describe this wine especially after the Knipser was sweeter in the kabinett. also this bottle comes in 500ml which is a really hard sell.
