| | | WINE TASTING GUY OCTOBER 19, 2008 Carmel's quality wine revolution recently checked out some of their unique single varietal appellation wines (Carignan & Petite Sirah) and was so (surprisingly) impressed by their quality that I included them in a blog post with some recommendations. My favorites of the day were still the appellation Carignan and Petite Sirah. And taste I did. | WINE TASTING GUY MAY 5, 2008  NorCal day 2: Sonoma Zinfandel is a very common varietal in Sonoma county and I tried 2 Zins at Sausal; the 2004 Family Zinfandel & the 2005 Private reserve Zin. | WINE TASTING GUY MAY 4, 2008 Day in Napa Following the Cab I had a Petit Sirah and finished with an old vine Zin PORT that I REALLY enjoyed. As to the wines I started with the 2006 Chardonnay that only sees 5% new oak & is put through no malolactic fermentation. The Zin was blended with about 7-8% Petit Sirah & a touch (about 1%) of Cab. Nice wines. Good stuff. | | | | | | | |

WINE TASTING GUY | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2008 Polaner tasting standouts
began in a French table area and tried some Sancerres (made from Sauvignon Blanc), some white Burgundys (made from Chardonnay) and some white blends. He wants his wines to show a nice purity of fruit ( Chardonnay) and as such uses large 600 liter (mostly neutral) barrels. Made from Chardonnay, this wine had an exploding bouquet. MORE >> -
