Okay – Well overdue – So time to get back on this:
Redemption Zin – 2007 dry Creek Valley – Well, you have to have a Zin and this one works well. A little less in yer face than the 7 deadly zins but a couple of bucks more – From Alexander Valley Vineyards who also produce Sin Zin
3 x cabs (because I am not predictable at all)
2008 Robert Hall – Paso Robles
2009 Ghost Pines – Sooma / Napa / Lake county A Louis M. Martini blended cab. – the do label other varietals and the brand has its own Ghost Pines website
2009 Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Springs Cab. Sauv. – I always like to WA and OR a chance and Chateau Ste. Michelle produce a large variety of wines.
Now we get to the last 2 – A Cotes du Rhone, for when you get tired of the heavy handedness and a cheap reliable blend to stop your safeway 6 from crawling too far past $80
2007 E. Guigal – Cotes du Rhone – When you want to be reminded that French wine tastes different and the exchange rate is in our favor
2009 California Red Wine – Menage a Trois A guzzler from Folie a Deux – Open as second bottle of the evening (Or first if you are in alone). A good price wine that is widely available – Turned up as a 2 pack in CostCo the other week.
Anyone have any suggestions for Halloween Wine?
Love them all Martin, especially the Zin recommendation. I just want to know when we’re doing our next wine tasting? I’m ready to share some of my current favourites too…..Halloween is passed, so will make it my Thanksgiving selection!
Forgot to add that I’ve always been partial to a Menage a Trois….good value in Costco!
