2001 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Syrah (Columbia Valley, Washington)
We took this with us to a local steakhouse and it was a wonderful complement to our meal, particularly the cheesecake covered in blueberries. Lots of fruit with some vanilla and spice.

2004 Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel (California ( Read more... )

Very crisp with hints of lime and peach. Blended very well with the Cincinnati-style chili & spaghetti we had last night. Finished off the bottle this afternoon and it was a wonderful contrast to the heat outside. If you want a good Sauvignon Blanc that is under $15, give this one a try.

Peace.

2004 Banrock Station Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon (Australia)
This was liking drinking grape juice, it had no depth to it at all. Sampled it the following day it developed some boldness up front, but then just fell off to grape juice again.
