Wine ... whooaa.... nelly!

I'll try and recap before my memory fails me. Rick and I had an opportunity to have some amazing wines over the last two days - thanks to our gracious hosts in Florida opening their cellar to us. WOW! ... what a ride!

'02 Chardonnay - Kistler, Catherine's Cuvee'

'05 Pinot Noir - Dehlinger Russian River Estate

'05 Syrah - Dehlinger

'04 Pinot Noir - Dehlinger Russian River Reserve (tasted against '04 Pinot Noir, Moshin - Family Reserve) - nice, both were drop dead georgeous, the Dehlinger having just a tad more acidity and alchohol, beautiful red fruit aromas.

'07 Chardonnay - Moshin, Russian River

'99 Sassicaia 

'98 Cabernet - Schafer  Hillside Select, Stags Leap

'94 Cabernet - Schafer Hillside Select, Stags Leap

'97 Cabernet - Pahlmeyer

'94 Cabernet - Pahlmeyer

And a second growth Bordeaux that I cannot remember the name of ... a shame since it was so good, but after 8 bottles of wine ... well, would you remember?

Oh Dear! How long has it been...

 ... since my last blog entry! WAY too long!

I recently saw a facebook entry from a friend regarding her own facebook activity.

It said: "facebook is killing my blog!"

I have to agree.  But, it's not just facebook's fault. I have been on the road schlepping wine for almost four weeks now - up early, meeting with wine buyers during an insane recessionary business climate, then driving with my hubby to the next city where we fall into bed in a new hotel and start over again the next day to do the same. Please buy our wine!

Our wineclub fans are our saving grace - god bless' em, every one!

I'll put up a picture here from one of our rare recreational outings. Can you figure out where it came from? A special prize awaits the individual that can figure it out.

At home - I am not there but I know that spring is doling out a few lovely fair days where one would love to stroll amongst the vibrant yellow mustard fields before taking an afternoon nap in the soft spring sunshine. The grasses are almost waist-high and succulent green - cows and sheep couldn't be more satisfied. Where is my hammock?
