Uncategorized, Wine & Spirit Events & News
Here are my thoughts, comments, suggestions, complaints and favorite wines from the recent tasting with our good friend Ted from Vision Brands.

Commanderie de la Bargemone Coteaux d’Aix en Provence Rose 2010

This showed very well, actually it sold out but the 2011, same price is due any day. It was light fresh and crisp, mainly Grenache in the blen


Puydeval Rouge Vin de Pays d’Oc 2010

This is a serious southern French wine, mainly made of Cab Franc with Syrah and Merlot, unusual for this region. Definitely great for grilled food with lots of nice aromas from the Cab Franc

Some Young Punks The Squid's Fist 2011

Some Young Punks The Squid’s Fist 2011

The giant squid packs a whallop! The Sangiovese gives it the feel of  a Tuscan wine with chewy tannins and some dried dark fruit flavors. There is some mineral notes and spice but not as earthy as the Tuscan counterpart would show. Drinking really well with a nice rustic touch that would go great with a strip steak.

“60% Sangiovese, 40% Shiraz – 100% Barossa Valley. Both the Sangiovese and the Shiraz are sourced from the same vineyard in the Barossa Valley..” The Winery
