Yesterday, some friends joined us for an excellent Filipino feast (prepared by Daryl's mom), and they brought two wines from a recent trip West.
Gruet Pinot Noir 2004 New Mexico: Nice Pinot! Berry notes, smooth, low tannins and low acidity. Very refreshing and went well with the roast pork and fried rice.
The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey Chardonnay 2004 Canon City, Colorado: We aren't big fans of American Chardonnay. We have tried this varietal at all different price points but never found one we truly enjoyed, with a couple exceptions. However, this Colorado Chardonnay was very good! No oak and lots of juicy fruit. Delicious with lumpia and baked shrimp.
(Oh, and the two Chardonnays we recommend: Fetzer and Jewell Towne Vineyards.)
We also opened a Mallorcan rose and finished a Rueda. Not a bad afternoon!
