Murphy-Goode, Merlot, ??, ??

Again, no place and year details as bottle, and contents, have long gone. Very nice wine, however, I do have a feeling that this one can be a bit hit & miss. Maybe I should volunteer to get blathered on a few bottles of it over a number of different occassions in order to get a better sample distribution. It does seem to be a favourite with folks generally though. Worth a test drive, esp as under $10..by 40 cents. They all count.Unluckily at this stage we have not introduced a rating system and thus you have to just put up with our ramblings. And it wouldn’t be a fair rating system ‘cos we’d lie. 

Bogle, Chardonnay, Napa?, Year??

Sorry would have given more details on place and year but her-in-doors as thrown the bottle out. And very nice it was too. I like this Chardonnay as its got a nice creamy-buttery finish to it. (Similar to a Guenoc I once had… and still have one in the rack and will report on once drunk). A bit of room temp, as opposed to straight from the fridge, helps that as well. Priced at $9 at Sfwy. 

Marques de Casa Concha – Syrah 2005 d.o. Puemo Chile

This was from one of the wine spectator mailings and was a 90 point wine (I’ll give my opinion on wine ratings  later…)

It’s a little pricey at $17.99 but worth it if you are looking for something special or are in a Syrah mood.

The company that makes this is Concha y Toro  and they have a variety of wines, some scoring big points at WS.
