Concha y Toro Trio

Concha y Toro: Trio 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Cabernet Franc Poor Shiraz, alone amongst the Cabernets must feel trapped like Odysseus between Scylla and Charybdis, ha ha ha. It was actually pretty good.

Trumpeter Merlot 2005

Dark red wine with lots of tannins, blackberries and tobacco. I had a cold and didn’t like it.

Lapaccio Primitivo del Salento

Pasqua Lapaccio Primitivo del Salento 2005 A young wine with a deep red color and intense cherry and black fruit aromas. Slightly woody and alcoholic. Perfect for grilled meats and strong cheeses.

Trapiche Pinot Noir 2005

I’ll never learn. Ruby colored hot dog water.

Trapiche Malbec 2006

It felt almost as if I were drinking watered down blackberry juice steeped in an oak barrel. Yuk!

L.A. Cetto 2003

Water distilled from the miasmas of the marshes in Mexico City with a drop of lemon juice. Yuck!

Concha y Toro Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot

Concha y Toro Selección Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2006 A strong body with an aftertaste of berries, only drink if cheap.

Nero d’Avola

Nero d’Avola Shiraz 2005 An extremely young wine full of tannins. Contains turpentine, black pepper and spicy berries. Do not drink now, maybe in a few years.

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Riesling-Spälese

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer 2003 Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling - Spälese A sparkling white wine full of exotic aromas and flavors of cut green grass, vanilla and a touch of plum. Quite refreshing.
