All indicators point to a long and restless summer. And it's the wettest spring anyone can remember. Just last night we opened a Robert Sinskey 2005 Los Carneros Merlot ** that was nicely textured and tart. just can’t bring myself to do it. Never again.” | WINE TASTING GUY OCTOBER 19, 2008 Carmel's quality wine revolution Following our history lesson I was introduced to one of the (many) winemakers. As for the reds, the single vineyard 2005 Kayoumi Cab showed black fruit, was round, approachable and very elegant, while the 2004 Kayoumi Shiraz was very upscale shiraz in style with a touch of black pepper, very fruit forward and a long finish. | | | | | | | | | WINE TASTING GUY MARCH 10, 2008 Wine bar outing had an Australian Shiraz (too extracted & "sweet") and a Sancere (nice & crisp) while my date had a Tempranillo (better than my Shiraz) and a Vespiolo (Italian white - first time I heard of it and while it wasn't my speed the date enjoyed it). A quickie post for tonight (or this morning as the case may be). Unbelievable!!! | WINE TASTING GUY JANUARY 25, 2008 Wine Australia Festival - wrap up We were tasting wines at the Grant Burge area when the winemaker encouraged us to go check out his "Meshach" Shiraz up in the VIP area. But overall, trying to taste through as many as 100-200 wines seems a lesson in futility. just to name a few. While I know this seems quite snobby, and may have been, I am about to make a confession. | |
