Today I had 5 salesmen with winery reps. Way too many on one day but thats how they appear.
One rep was from the group that sells Rex Goliath, Nobilo, Black box to name a few. None of the wines was bad by any means but nothing was stellar. Good values for under $10 a bottle.
Black Box will be adding Sauv Blanc and Riesling to the list.
yesterday i tried some wines with Robert from garco..even though I was still somewhat stuffed up in here I could taste some things.
Chainier Vouvray 2007 in a bottle that was reminiscent of the old rosemount and chateau souverain bottles... my first smell came off like glue...somewhat sweet but a little offputting.. quick finish...but could been me
Robert Craig Durell Vineyard Chardonnay. 2006 one of the most interesting aromas in a long time... think of opening the door to a barnes and noble...its espresso and leather and oak ....unctious texture and sweet fruit... a little pricey though..
Ridgeline Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2002 cinnamon on the nose and dark color in the glass...cassis and clove...the perfect big wine to drink now...it was ready..
Casali Rosa di Rosa nv...one of the most unusual wines I have tried in a long time... from the Malbo Gentile grape...yeah i had never heard of it either...from the Emilio region of Italy...partially sparkling but lots of fizz in the mouth... only 6% alcohol. dark purple color slightly sweet but mostly fun... almost grapey.
