I wasn’t a participant in the normal sense, although I did swing by for 10 minutes after a business dinner to see what was up. Arkansas Asti? Cabernet with (intentional) residual sugar? Lenoir? These were some wacky wines to be sure, and most probably aren’t worth drinking, but it was certainly interesting to have my horizons expanded. Thanks to Don for opening up his house and to Steve, Stan, and Charlie for providing the experience! Also, the wines and notes can be found here.

Labor Day wines
September 1, 2008I was expecting to drink red wine tonight, but instead opened two whites. The ’07 Araujo Sauvignon Blanc was the standout. Along with Spottswoode, these have to be the two best California SBs out there. The other wine was the ’06 Columbia Creat Chardonnay Grand Estates. $10 at Costco, picked up by Carolynn, it wasn’t bad for a very oaky style.
Enjoyed the wines with some Midnight Moon, St. Agur, and Delice de Bourgogne cheeses.
Motley Cru update
September 1, 2008I switched to WordPress instead of hosting and building the site myself. So far, WordPress seems pretty cool. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll get back to updating this once in a while!
