Image by ellevalentine via FlickrDomaine de Cristia Chateauneuf du Pape 2009 big rich fruit bomb... a touch cold so that may explain why... some french stink.. good weight.. lots of fruit and alcohol on palateFelsina Chianti Classico 2008 .. not expressing as much of the italian stink as was expected but still there.. good fruit. long finish and could probably work better with food
Dauvergne-Ranvier 2010 Cotes du Rhone Blanc 2010... really liked the red version of this last week.. this wine features grenache blanc/roussane and viognier. showing some fruit but not really giving much.. probably better in two years for my taste
patz and hall sonoma coast chardonnay 2009 light toasty oak and not to heavy given 100% malo-lactic
a nice expression of butterscotch and caramel on the finish
Abraxas Sinksey 2009. from scintilla vineyard it is a blend of 4 grape varietals.. Pinot gris/ Pinot Blanc/Gewurztraminer/ Riesling.. with the lineup and front nose of the gewurz I expected a sweeter wine but the Pinot Blanc rounded things up nicely with the acidity of the pinot gris. a hard sell wanting to be a California Alsace.. would recommend to those looking for a fun unusual wine
Chateau Marjosse White Bordeaux Equal parts Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc with some Muscadelle.. showing more sweet fruit than expected.. again may be due to the colder bottle. one dimensional but a pretty dimension.
Hiedler Gruner Veltliner Loess 2009 I really like Gruner.. i forget about this wine because it flies under the radar so often.. loess is the type of soil grown in. crisp, clean and elegant.. the right amount of citrus
