Wines at the Grovewood Tavern

Yesterday, we visited the Grovewood Tavern on our way to the Cleveland Indians Ball Game. Located in the inner city neighborhood, this restaurant boasts a great wine list, great food made from local ingredients and very courteous and attentive service. Street side parking and ambiance created by Christmas Lights might be the only things that some may not like.

We tried the following wines during the course of our dinner.

1. 2009 Cave de Pomerols Picpoul de Pinet (Languedoc, France) - 100% Picpoul aka Folle Blanche. Quite aromatic - fruity, crisp, refreshing
2. 2008 Ciconia Alentejano Tinto (Portugal) - A delicious blend of Touriga Nacional, Syrah and Aragones.
3. 2008 Zig Zag Zin (Mendocino, CA, USA) - My first serious Zin and I must say I liked it. Full bodied with dry finish.
4. 2009 Campuget Tradition Rose (France) - Very crisp and refreshing; loved the color
