- 2007 Six Mile Creek Vineyard Quintessence (Finger Lakes, Ithaca, NY, USA) - a Bordeaux style blend with dark fruit and a bell peppery nose; Quite Good.
- Ventosa Vineyards Vino Rosso (Finger Lakes, NY, USA) - A nice blend of Lemberger (53%), Merlot (32%), and Cabernet Franc (15%).
- 2006 Atwater Estate Vineyards Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes, NY, USA)
- Buttonwood Grove Winery Diva Sparkling wine (Finger Lakes, NY, USA)
- Viña MontGras Carmenère Reserva, Chile - Lost Bordeaux varietal with an amazing survival story; Amazing aroma with black pepper on the nose and a soft, silky texture; I absolutely love it and will buy more.
- 2009 Charles Smith Wines Kung Fu Girl Riesling (Columbia Valley, Mattawa, WA, USA)
- 2008 Trevor Jones Boots Shiraz (BarossaValley, Australia) - I still do not like Shiraz and I do not understand what the fuss is all about the Trevor Jones name.
- 2009 Del Rio Vineyards Rose Jolee Early Muscat (Rogue Valley, OR) - Extremely aromatic with Rose and Peaches on the nose; tangy, a bit sweet on the palette; overall delicious; goes very well with spicy food.
- 2007 Selbach-Oster Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Germany - Crisp and Dry
- 2007 Ortman Family Vineyards Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley, OR, USA) - Quite Good. And, with the attractive price that it is going for at Mustard Seed Market, I am buying some more.
- 2007 Erath Winery Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley, OR, USA) - Very Good.
- Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley, OR, USA) - Very Good as well.
- 2006 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley, OR, USA) - This is the BEST. I seem to have found the best Pinot. Amazingly balanced palette and aroma. I just loved it.
I did miss a Zin tasting of our club. Here are the notes from that wine tasting.
On a separate note, I did go to a local Beer Tasting. I love beer but did not come across anything extraordinary at this tasting.
