More than one post for April and actually written on a Saturday, no less! We didn't cover this week's wine in yesterday's post, so here goes...
On Thursday, we opened a Pinot Grigio from California, Bocce 2004. Very clean, bright, simple and exactly what we look for in our warm weather wines. We finished it tonight with Daryl's General Tao's chicken.
Daryl stopped by the wine bar for a Friday afternoon tasting before going to pick up pizza. He brought home a new red: Eric Ross Old Vine Carignane 2005 (Lodi). It has a delicious, tart blueberry aroma and is a lovely, clear red. It hits mid- to back of the palate with hints of berry. Very smooth and inky like a Syrah but lacking that peppery bite. We enjoyed it, and as we're always looking for dry reds, we'll keep an eye out for this varietal again.
Enjoy the weekend!
