wine with craig from pinnacle

Pinot noir grapes and skins (maceration) in a ...Image via Wikipedia

dog point vineyard sauv blanc 2008 cat pee on the nose, typical sb from nz juicy, a little sweet on the finish...a touch watery on the finish.

loring Keefer ranch green valley 2007... green valley is located sonoma, cool climate area where pinot noir does very well.. tangy fruit, tea and cola... surprisingly long finish... for the money a very good offering

Atalaya Almansa, 2007 a blend of monastrell, garnacha et al. light purple color, pretty red berry flavors, great value wine

Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz Australia 2008
there isnt a lot of complexity to this vintage. juicy fruit that literally tastes like grape juice....

Kai Errazuriz Carmenere 2005 ... lots of oak, and juicy fruit... hot on the palate... way overrated for my taste... maybe over time it would settle down...

Haymans Old Tom Gin.... old tom is a style of gin popular in the 18th century...juniper nose but also some sweetness, extremely sweet on the palate...can see how this was used for slow gin fizz...
