this and that

interesting wines today from Robert Necker my new Garco rep.

Zolo Torrontes 2006 Argentina Floral Orange Maramalade? on the nose. This is a cousin of Muscat and you can see why with the aromatics. Not as sweet though, just enough to make it interesting.

Spenser Roloson Herradura Vineyard Syrah 2004 Napa this wine reminds me why i like wine. dark cola color, rich and dark flavors of mocha, espresso . deep wine that would remind you of a northern rhone. wonderful around $30 in the store.


yesterday I tasted some french burgundy with doug from golden barrel. verget is the producer and he caught me right when i was eating some spicy bar b que from gates.

Verget Saint Verain Terroirs de Davaye 2005 was the winner. Acid and fruit with a pretty finish. $25

Verget Pouilly Fuisee Terroirs de Vergisson 2005 Interesting in that it was still being put in a corked bottle as opposed to the other Verget wines that come in screwcap. Hints of vanilla and lemon zest. $35
