From premier cru.
Pfeffingen estate dry riesling 2006, a touch of mineral and honey, but mostly light and not very compelling..
Oberon Sauvignon Blanc 2005 soft and non herbacious...tasted after the riesling though so didnt really get its true colors.
La Planella from Montsant a very juicy, and earthy wine at the same time. real bright cherry flavor after a few minutes in the glass... this will fit into the corner for sure. 89 parker
from bommarito
Aia Oakville 2004 a cab from the miner family that is their second label. pretty cedar on the nose and lots of juicy tannin...great steak wine.
castle rock zinfandel 2006 Mendocino a little green or herbal for me..some briar may need some time to settle down...or grow up
Michel Bouzereau 2006 Bourgogne its hard to think of 2006 being as a good value after the excellent 05 vintage but this wine was very nice... bright yellow in the glass..good chardonnay fruit on the tongue without a lot of oak or ml to ruin...a touch of asparagus on the end but not a deal buster.
McCarthy Single Malt Whiskey from oregon via scotland...a sort of peaty style with more of the Iodine than I care for without the pretty smoky nose. it uses peat bogs brought in from scotland but it just misses the mark for me... a touch of mocha and orange on the finish which was nice.
