Weekly Wines, Not on Time

by Farley

I’m a little late in posting this one. Sorry! It will change again on Friday.

Complimentary Tasting

2006 Roussanne, Fess Parker Vineyard, Santa Barbara $25
Take a sip of this tropical smoothie
with pineapples, lychees, mandarin oranges, and honeysuckle

2005 Zinfandel, Aparicio Vineyard, Amador County $25
A lone fig tree surrounded by an orchard of abundant cherries,
and further beyond — pines and peppercorns

2004 Syrah, Santa Barbara, Appellation Series $18
Vanilla beans dance with violets along a rocky stream
while a piles of plums look on with envy

*Reserve Flight - $8.00 *
Complimentary to club members

2005 Zinfandel, Maggie’s Reserve, Sonoma Valley $45
A reunion of your favorite fruits: raspberries, blackberries, and currants
as they jam to music then abscond with a plate of scones

2005 Zinfandel, St. Peter’s Church Reserve, Sonoma County $55
This wine will lead you to the alter, as it marries
boysenberries, cocoa, and coffee with a bouquet of jasmine

2005 Zinfandel, Lyons Reserve, Napa Valley $45
Cranberries and currants wrestle over the last piece of teriyaki beef jerkey,
and the winner cracks black pepper over the prize

2005 Petite Sirah, Kick Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma County $35
Kick your way through crushed rocks, blueberries, currants, and sage—
then kick up your heels over the special club discount on this one

These tasting menus can be really hard to write sometimes. Some Friday mornings, it’s all I can do to force myself to taste and come up with poetic descriptions! But as long as people keep reading, I’ll keep writing.
