Have a Taste on Us
Here is this week’s tasting menu at Rosenblum Cellars.
Complimentary Tasting
2005 Roussanne, Santa Barbara, Appellation Series $18
The warmer weather and this wine will transport you to tropical climes:
guava, coconut, peaches, and pears trickle down waterfalls
2005 Zinfandel, Eagle Point Vineyard, Mendocino $25
Black cherries, raspberries, and cloves surf along the coast
of seaside Elk, then drive through redwood forests
2005 Zinfandel, Harris Kratka Vineyard, Alexander Valley $35
Stick your nose into a clay jar of plums and figs,
then heat your fingers with a bag of warm chestnuts
2005 Petite Sirah, Rhodes Vineyard, Redwood Valley $25
At the table set with a vase of violets and blueberry branches,
fill your plate with smoked tri-tip smothered in sage butter
2004 Trio, Holbrook Mitchell Vineyard, Napa Valley $25
Run past the lavender at the front door–and into the den
where grandpa is smoking his pipe –for a treat of chocolate-covered cherries

2005 Zinfandel, Annette’s Reserve, Redwood Valley $35
Black raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries
sit attentive at the chalkboard while cinnamon and cloves give lessons
2005 Zinfandel, Cullinane Reserve, Sonoma Valley $45
Take a walk through this vineyard, with vines over 100 years old,
admiring the eucalyptus trees, as you snack on blackberries and currants
2005 Syrah, Holbrook Mitchell Reserve, Napa Valley $45
After smelling smoked cedar and vanilla, it’s love at first taste:
A sumptuous salad of peppery arugula tempered by sweet huckleberries and boysenberries
*Turns out I didn’t have time to change the menu on Friday, so this one is a hanger-on for another few days.
Complimentary Tasting, Holbrook Mitchell Vineyard
