My 200th post.

I usually dont follow through with good ideas...but 200 is not bad.

Wines today with derrick from bommarito.

Bucci Verdicchio 2007 Tremendous producer of this wine. mineral with a steely edge. round mouth feel and pretty stone fruits flavors. ageworthy

Case Ibidini from Sicily. pretty ruby color, almost a fruity beaujolais style nose. light finish great with pasta and pizza

Langmeil Three Gardens 2006 lovely blend of shiraz which you get in the nose, grenache in the mouth and mourvedre in the volume. year in and year out a winner.

From new wine salesman Jason Maroon
LF Edwards Carmenere Reserve 2006 minimal skin contact to keep from too much tannin, smoky nose with 10% cab for depth. a touch green from youth but nice round mouthfeel and a hint of cocoa on the finish

Merlot Reserva earthy but some nice fruit. a bit of a bite in the front not overly user friendly. a pass
