Croad 2008 Ariki

This came home with my wife from a ladies weekend in Paso Robles and
I'm glad it did. At 14% alcohol this is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The Rhone blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 30% Mouvedre hits the
spot with the Panda Express we got on the way home tonight.

It is big and mean but has a kind streak. TGIF.

Dynamic 2010 Red Table Wine

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.

J 2001 Russian River Valley Brut Magnum

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.

Trinity Hill 2008 Chardonnay Gimblett Gravels

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.
