What Possessed Us To Open Wine?
It was just a Wednesday night. We were making dinner and headed down to the cellar to find a wine. Pinot Noir just sounded perfect immediately. There was going to be cheese.
What Did The Label Want Us To Know?
It’s from California and when it says that now, 100% of the grapes must come from California. No Colorado grapes sneaking in there. On the back it signifies Sonoma County and talks about the climate and soil being excellent for the grape. They use the words; elegant, silky, cherry, tea, herbal spice, black cherry, plum and spice. They recommend lamb, veal, salmon and light pasta dishes.
What’s So Great About It?
David thought it smelled like cucumber, which I think is NOT a wine word, but it’s his palate. He thought it had a long finish and made it think of tobacco. I thought it smelled delightful, tasted a little like smoke in my mouth and I couldn’t wait to stuff cheese in there with the wine!! Yum.

What happens in Vegas really doesn’t stay in Vegas, especially not the calories.
France, do we want to retire there? (for wine)
