New Wine Update
I’ve decided, since I’m not really writing much poetry these days, to start including my weekly tasting notes. One of my favorite aspects of the job is picking which wines to feature, tasting through them, and writing the notes. I’ve gotten a little more poetic with them these days.
This way, if you want to come by the tasting room or are interested in Rosenblum wines, you know what to expect….
This week (soon to change)
Complimentary Tasting
White & Rosé
2005 Rosé, North Coast, Appellation Series $6 (amazingly low final price!)
Ideal with BBQ fare, the bright strawberries, cherries, and raspberries finish crisp
2006 Chateau la Paws Côte du Bone Blanc $14
This delightful medley of apricots, peaches, pears, apples, and vanilla
will rev up your taste buds
Reds
2005 Pinot Noir, Lyons Vineyard, Napa Valley $25
A very limited production, this variety somehow manages to stand up to the bigger Rosenblum reds with cherries, strawberries, vanilla, and violets
2005 Zinfandel, Richard Sauret, Paso Robles $25
Dive off a slice of bing cherry tart and into a pot of raspberry jam
2005 Petite Sirah, Heritage Clones, SF Bay Appellation Series $18
A morning walk through the forest, just after it rained…
followed by a breakfast of smoked bacon & biscuits with boysenberry preserves
*Reserve Flight - $5.00 *
2005 Zinfandel, Maggie’s Reserve, Sonoma Valley $45
Sitting around a campfire, dried leaves swirling in the dusk–
your fingers dripping with plums and blueberries
2004 Zinfandel, Hendry Reserve, Napa Valley $45
Reminiscent of a fondue party: blackberries dipped into dark chocolate,
or a harvest gathering where apples are covered in caramel
2005 Zinfandel, Lyons Reserve, Napa Valley $45
This one is all “get up and go�
Dried currants and figs wrestle with the strong tannins
Cheers!

Guess who’s featured on the homepage of one of the top 50 websites in the world? That’s right, you. And it’s a white wine pairing clip. Check it at http://www.expertvillage.com.

You’re certainly on to something with these new tasting notes… reading these gives the impression of being in the wine, rather than the wine going into you. The element of immersion that you add certainly takes wine ‘tasting’ to a whole new level!

You’re still going strong… even stronger. Keep up the great job! It makes me so very proud. You do have a weigh with words, baby girl.
