It's all about the wine. We want to record the memories of our wine and share what's inside the bottles.
The pictures are blurry (at best) but everything is sent in from our phones, so deal with it.
This was the first pour for the Jug Shop's tasting "Weird Ass Whites Under $20." Chasselas is a varietal common in Switzerland. This one is made in Sonoma. They were talking that Berthoud may be the only winemaker in the US producing Chasselas. This was good, unlike anything else; dry but otherwise difficult to describe. Worth trying. $20.
Beautiful straw color. Apple, vanilla, peach, full bodied, new world (N Zed), buttery with a nice acidic zing that brings it all in balance. Should go well with our fish pie.
From Trader Joe's, this was in their red blends section for about $6.
I'm satisfied. 34% Syrah, but whats the rest? Bordeaux varietals? Zin?
Gamay? Concord?
Who knows? Who cares?
For $6, this could be my house red if it plays it's cards right. It is
light and fun and has a good balance of fruit and spice.
Throw your expectations in the gutter and be pleasantly surprised.
Can you say magnum baby? We finally cracked this for the two year
old's birthday party. It was crisp and bubbly and balanced and complex
all at the same time. J makes a fine sparkler.
