Drouhin Macon Village 2008 light golden in color...lots of minerality and steel...not very rounded but not really crisp either... a little hot on the finish

Drouhin Chablis AOC 2008 drouhin is the largest land holder in Chablis.. minerality and ripe fruit.. nice example of chablis

Giesen Sauv Blanc 2009 gooseberry and not as much of the evergreen thing. more about the round flavors..

Vina Esmeralda 2009 Torres Spain 85 Moscato and 15 Gewurztraminer..which shows in the nose, a med dry finish... more for the female crowd

Drouhin Pinot Noir Oregon 2007... a tough vintage but the wine is showing really well today.. meaty woodsy nose, light red fruits and a longish finish.

Sangre de Toro Tempranillo 2007 Spain dark purple in the glass, tight nose, somewhat spicy but I have had many temps recently from more modern producers that are a better blend of old and new world styles.

Torres Celeste Ribero del Duoro 2005 have had this in the past and really enjoyed. juicy some coffee and tobacco notes but really tight right now.. maybe could open up some more in the bottle

Ricasoli Chianti 2006 traditional sweaty saddleleather that turns a little off... a husky finish to the wine which makes me think its more of an off bottle... ricasoli is the oldest winery in Italy.

Campo Ceni Red 2005 sangiovese and merlot blend.. interesting earthy nose but could stand some more texture and finish..
