Chateau La Gomerie 2005 Bordeaux, St Emilion

December 24, 2009

This was an unexpected surprise from my Uncle Vincent at Christmas time.  An exceptionally good Bordeaux for the price, drinkable alone but would go very well with food, I’m finding it goes particularly well with chocolate. Slight musty on the nose (my favorite quality in a Bordeaux) and lots of Blackberry. What I picked up [...]

Tildio 2004 Red Zinfandel

June 15, 2006

This wine was a welcome surprise discovered while visiting the Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie Falls, Washington. Big and fruit forward this wine reminded me of some of the big Californian Cab’s I’ve had but a little less “in-your-face”. The fruit is not overpowering but is again, forward. Balancing the fruit is just the right amount [...]

Porno Vino!

March 23, 2006

If in wine there really is truth she obviously has nothing to hide! I’m actually quite interested in trying this wine. If it scored so well and had such a masterful winemaker behind it the rest is just marketing, and who says porn stars can’t also have good taste. It’s also been a while since [...]
