WINE TASTING GUY | FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 2008 The FREE Murcia wine tasting event
The 2005 Chaveo had a deep ruby/purple color, with aromas of fresh berries, dark chocolate and subtle toastiness. Happens to be that I tried a Petit Verdot that I did not care for, but that may have just been that it did not live up to an Israeli Petit Verdot I recently tried. then attended one of the sessions.

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. Their 2004 cabernet which is actually a Bordeaux blend of 76% Cabernet, 18% merlot, 4% Petit Verdot & 2% cab franc. tried to get down a "bug juice" of sorts that was simply awful. MORE >> -

Interestingly enough, they make a 100% grenache wine called the ( 2005) St. MORE >> -
WINE TASTING GUY | SUNDAY, MARCH 30, 2008  Kosher Wine Extravaganza - Unusual (but gooood) wines
Merlot, Cab, Syrah - been there done that. lighter wine than a Cab, merlot or Syrah, Barbera is said to be the most (or second most) planter varietal in Italy. No, not the Petit Sirah/Zin blend - another people know is a favorite of mine. This was the 5th year that this event was held and there seem to be more wines each year. MORE >>
