wines with doug from golden barrel

Palmina Pinot Grigio 2006 a new producer for this market that makes only Italian varietals. bright fruit with a little green apple, nice creamy texture but for the price of $20 I will pass

Palmina Arneis 2006 creamy rich flavors, lots of viscousity. I liked it enough to bring in even with the high cost. Arneis is a grape type found in the piedmont region of Italy. Texture of a chardonnay with a lot more subtle flavors.

Blind Trail Otaga 2006 Pinot from New Zealand is heating up/ bigh fruit, more california in style. pretty garnet color in the glass

Wild Earth Otaga 2006 more burgundian or earthy in style. round fruit, a great intro to pinot from nz...with a flavor profile that keeps going several seconds after swallowing.
