the winesmith with Clark Smith

An interesting group of wines, the winesmith and pennyfarthing and skinflint. these wines are meant to be consumed quickly and with a nice dose of humor.

Pennyfarthing Sauv Blanc 2007 herbal, lime and heavy on the tongue..definite california style.

Skinflint Rose 2006 cab and cab franc..strawberry on the nose but dry finish.and good viscousity.

PennyFarthing Cab Sav 2005 Dark color and 100% cabernet german cake.. with a cedar nose..good user friendly wine.

Second Fiddle 2005 Santa Rita Hills...unfortunately a touch corked... but even with that it was huge on the palate..very aggresive tannin...could use some time...and a new bottle.

I have to give props to this guy because he tries to get away from grocery store wines and keeps them at a certain price that makes them attractive.. he has one of the few Albarino from California very cool
