Year | Wine | Variety | Location | Price | Num | Rating |
1999 | Beringer Napa Valley Merlot Appellation Collection | Merlot | Beringer Case | 10.83 | 12 | 88 |
Very ripe, with jammy wild berry and black cherry aromas and flavors. The coffee, chocolate, plum and wild berry flavors are lush and show some heat, giving it a baked cherry pie-like flavor on the finish, with a trace of bitterness. |
2001 | Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc | Fume Blanc | | 15 | 1 | 85 |
Lighter than Chardonnay, this wine impressed both Eric and Katie. Serve with something like fish, or pork. |
2000 | Hop Kiln A Thousand Flowers | Chardonnay | Case One | 8.5 | 1 | 80 |
Very Fragrant, sweet, and easy to drink. Best with some cheese, as opposed to a meal. |
2000 | Hop Kiln Marty Giffin's Big Red | Blend | Case One | 10 | 1 | 85 |
Vert tasty red with BIG Tannins. Fun to drink with red meats, etc. |
2000 | Hop Kiln Russian River Chardonnay | Chardonnay | Case One | 16 | 1 | 85 |
Katie was impressed with this wine that had hints of melon. |
2000 | Korbel Moscato Fizzante | Champagne | | 20 | 0 | 85 |
This was Katie's Favorite, it was less dry, sweet and fruity. |
1999 | Korbel Natural Dry Champagne | Champagne | Case One | 14 | 1 | 90 |
This was Eric's Favorite Champagne at Korbel. Light, evaporates off the tongue. |
2001 | Rochioli Rochioli Pinot Noir | Pinot Noir | Case Two | 26 | 2 | |
We were so impressed with this wine, we returned to the vineyard to purchase more. 3 Bottles were purchased while in CA. |
