Monday from hell-Missouri Beverage

One of those days where everyone in town has a "ride-with" with wines to try. I wish there could be a way to schedule these things but until then here goes my list.

Montinore Muller-Thurgau 07 soft grapefruit on the nose, finishes sweeter than i thought it would...interesting wine..a hybrid made in germany named after the gentleman who made it.

Montinore Gewurztraminer 2006 typical pretty nose, soapy floral lots of acid..and chunky not really smooth.

Montinore Pinot Noir 2007 Dark rusty color, tangy and bing cherry a little rhubarb...definitely from the lighter 07 vintage..

Badger Mountain Riesling 2007 NSA (no sulfites added) a dull nose and dull flavors...i think it may have been an off bottle because the stuff sells ok...not sweet at all and no acid to carry it through..

Badger Mountain Cab/Merlot 2004 showing some age...heavy cab influence with a bit of rustic weight to it...looking forward to the 05 also NSA

Powers Muscat Canelli 2007 an asti nose because you know that they have the same grape...again a little chunky and also doesnt finish as sweet as a muscat should
