HAH! So I'm going to blog about 3 wines tonight.
1. St. Micheal-Eppan Pinot Grigio, 2006 (Appiano, Italy)
Cas brought this one home - a gift from her boss. Of white wines, Pinot Grigio is by far my favorite. This one was no exception. Fresh, crisp, with a hint of carbonation, this dry wine made my night. A little fruity (I want to say peaches), mainly it was just indescribable deliciousness - although it could have been my liberating mood as well. Goes down easy, great consistency - beautiful all round. Again, it constituted my dinner - but I bet it'd be good with a nice white fish (cod, tilapia or the like) or chicken.
2. Sutter Homes - Cabernet Sauvignon, 2001 (Napa Valley)
A cheaper wine (approx. $9), still very satisfying. Easy to drink, would most likely go great with steak or lamb. Oaky, with a bit of berry. But again, my palette is SO not developed. I'll have to look up real reviews. Definitely decent though. Good for a late night out on the balcony with some cigs (terrible I know - but yet so perfect).
3. Castoro Cellars - Blind Faith, Pinot Noir, 2005 (Paso Robles, CA)
I bought this wine for about $20 when I was camping down in Paso Robles with friends. It's a much less travelled wine area (as compared with Napa), but still very beautiful and the people are lovely (and all the tastings are free, as compared with Napa, which is a big plus). This was one of my favorites, but like I said, I'm hugely partial to Pinot Noir. Hard to describe (I'm also trying to do this from memory), it was a little bitter (but I like that) and spicy. You probably won't find it in your local liquor store - but you can buy it online.
