International range of wines.
Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Alsace 2006 very dark yellow almost the look of a sauternes
but a true nose of gewurz and bone dry on the palate...interesting wine in that i was tasting it after having tried the reds...he uses a indice or index for sweetness 1 being driest to 5 and this is a solid number one.
Maison Henri Boillot Bourgogne blanc 2006 after the super hyped 2005 this vintage is more drinkable and accessible. very clean fruit, a little flint definitely not the complex wines of last year but very good non the less
Moreau Volnay Santenot Rouge 2006 earth and mushroom..nice legs light and quick finish...
Also Conterno Il Favot Nebbiolo 2003 dark coffee color in the glass.. a touch rustic with just a little mustiness on thenose and palate..earthy mushroom was my final note but very expensive for a non barolo wine
Howell Mountain WInery Bear and Lion Zin Napa 2005 a new inexpensive bottling from this winery..watery purple in the glass and the initial nose of TAR was mouthfilling and juicy acidic but no real fruit standing out..maybe hard to sell after the initial nose...
