One of the perks of the job is being taken to a nice restaurant for lunch, to of course tell how well the wine goes with food. this time it was my old haunting grounds of Pierponts, that I had the privilege to help open up over 9 years ago...hard to believe its that long.
Tapestry is a winery from Australia. Nice products. I wish I could remember what they were but I didnt have a sheet on me. The thing that stood out the most was their Unoaked chardonnay... very crisp clean and not overly sweet.. The Shiraz called Bakers Gully was a little light for me. The outstanding wine was their Tapestry Cabernet...lots of sweet cedar and lush fruit. I also got to try their big boy Shiraz called The Vincent ..very big lots of extraction and for me not overly exciting for $40 plus....maybe next vintage...by the way I did not know that St Vincent was the patron saint of winemakers...learned something new every day.
