Lots of wine to try recently but not a lot of time to try them I did get to meet with Dr Jerry Seps of Storybook Mountain and had his new Antenaes named for the god who could never be destroyed as long as he kept his feet on the ground. A blend of Zin and cab it was very tasty.
Also met with Jonathan Lachs of Cedarville who has been in the store before. His wines are very extracted and huge, needing a little time to breathe.
today I tasted with kim klein who brought some unusual wines from new york and missouri. from new york the Brotherhood Winery, the oldest winery in the USA. various types of wines. Dry riesling which wasnt, and Pinot Noir which I would describe as chunky, not unpleasant but not subtle by any means. The cab and merlot were interesting in they had a bit of the tannin that cold climate wines would have from carneros say, but missing a little bit of the fruit and structure. That being said for $15 they were not bad.
From Oak Glenn in Missouri near Hermann, they have three wines. Moonbeam Melody, a white wine with grapes not listed. Sweet and soft but not overly so. Definitely an easy drinking wine.
Sweet Caroline, a blush wine without any grapes listed. It reminded me of the Plum wine I had with Mr Noecker a few weeks back. marachino cherries but a clean finish. too sweet for me but it was well made.
River View Red smelled like a port, cherry port. with an interesting aftertaste. Not unpleasant just different.
More time in the future to taste I hope.
