It is black and inky and looks and, to some degree, palate, which always tips me off in blind tasting I am about to encounter a new world Shiraz/Syrah. Is it true the postman always rings twice? | | | | | | | | | | WINE TASTING GUY JULY 1, 2008 The Fancy Foods Show! Quick tip I learned; apparently Europeans say that one should start the day with soft cheeses and eat progressively harder cheese as the day goes on. Want an investment tip? I tried a 2005 blend made with Cab, Merlot, Cab Franc and a little "Limnio" another indigenous grape. Living in NYC has its trade offs. Seuss anyone?). | | VIGNA UVA VINO MAY 30, 2008 Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico 2003 DOCG 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot and Syrah make up this single vineyard Chianti Classico from Tuscany, Italy. On the palate are sour cherries and a slight oak on the tip of the tongue, and a dry bitter medicinal finish that thankfully doesn't last all that long. So far so good. but this is where the fun stops. It's just as well. | | | | | | | | |
