So what is this thing called a blog
As you can see, I haven't exactly made great use of this blog thing. I posted a few coin entries... but I really don't have the heart for it.
From here on out, this will be more personal in nature. So without further adieu...
Item #1. We (my wife and I) are hosting a wine tasting party for a few couples this Saturday night. Our group is mostly inexperienced in wine save for myself, my wife and one other couple. We have already made the bulk of purchases for our tasting stock, but could always be influenced by new suggestions...
Our current sampling:
Whites:
Principessa Gavi (IT)
San Giuseppe Pinot Grigio (IT)
Tormenta Viognier (CHILE)
Banfi Le Rime (Chardonnay & Pinot Grigio blend) (IT)
Reds:
Domain Monthoux Beaujolais (FR)
Blackstone Sonoma Reserve Pinot Noir (USA)
Wente Vineyards Sandstone Merlot (USA)
Dynamite Vineyards Merlot (USA)
Ten Mile Petite Sirah blend (USA)
Cheap Skate Cab Sauv & Cab Franc Blend (USA)
Casa Catillo Jumilla (SP)
Venta Mazzaron Tempranillo (SP)
Nobili Palazzoli Primitivo (Italian original version of the Zin grape) (IT)
DiMajo Norante Sangiovese (IT)
Greg Norman Shiraz (AUS)
We're missing any sort of sweet wines such as a Reisling, but I know some guests will be bringing a few other samples. I'm just not sure of the specifics.
