TN: Man Chenin Blanc
Having elicited no responses from this group when I inquired if anyone had experienced Man SA Chenin Blanc, I put on the blindfold at last night's Anniversary Dinner and took the plunge. It was from...
 
2006 Strong Arms Shiraz
So I bought this several months ago thinking, "If this is good I will get more" . Well it was and now I don't know if I can. From the same folks who give us Roogle (Grateful Palate), this is a step...
 
TN: Prosecco and Chablis
Tuesday Betsy and I both had full days, I suggested crock pot, but we still had niece and nephew who are pesce-vegetarians with us. So found a recipe for "Athenian shrimp", where you make a tomato...

2007 J-M Brocard Chablis VV
I met a friend for lunch and we split a bottle of the 2007 J-M Brocard Vielles Vignes. The new label didn't look French but I guess that's why I was never very good at marketing! The wine was pale...

TN: Base level GV and obscure (to me at least) Regnie
Sunday we were in the city for a memorial service for a friend/ employee, when we got back Betsy made a fast dish of chicken, soba, broccoli rabe, and pepper. I opened the 2007 Hirsch Gruner Veltliner...

TN: sometimes reps are deserved (83 Giscours), plus Mayacamas chard & Giroud
It's rare that I would open 2 bottles for just the two of us, much less three, but managed it last night. Betsy had a dress rehearsal but would be home for a late dinner, but I didn't think my dinner...
