ALICE FEIRING | SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2008 Alice Feiring - In Vino Veritas
Report from Sonoma. Emilion and a Chateau Le Puy September 28, 2008 The last visit of the day was Chateau Le Puy where I saw the Druid stones on its peaceful property. The sommelier steered me away from the Arena and strongly suggested I try the 2005 Ch. Emilion and Pomerol. The wines were stunning, at times perplexing. Sipped. MORE >> -

SLAKED | MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 2009 2005 Zinfandels **
On New Year's day we opened a couple new zinfandels from the 2005 vintage to bring in the new year with hearty fare (chips and salsa) as we watched the Big 10 get eviscerated, once again, in the BCS bowls.

SLAKED | TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2008 Christmas Wines (and other crap we drink during the holidays)
Jean California Merlot 2005 * This is by all accounts a good value and one worth picking up to host a dinner party, a wedding, a bar mitzavah, or the return of the prodigal son from his animal quest. We also tasted the 2005 Three Valleys * and 2006 Three Valleys * The Three Valleys is Ridge's lowest zinfandel on the totem pole. MORE >>
