Grapenuts
Durigutti 2008 Malbec
Argentina

damagecase
Willow Heights 1999 Vidal
Canada, Ontario, Niagara Peninsula
A-
   Glad I didn't hold this any longer. At 11 years old it was fully mature and the lack of enough acid left the wine a little cloying. Very rich and sweet, but still very delicious. Probably would have been better balanced a couple years ago.

damagecase
Paso Robles Wine Company 2007 Zinfandel
United States, California, Paso Robles
C+
   A simple fruity Zin, lots of bramble-berry pie, somewhat sweet. Worked with the smoked pork ribs.

damagecase
Chateau St Jean 2006 Pinot Noir
United States, California, Sonoma County
B
   Somewhat simple on the light and fruity side but easy drinking and went well with smoked salmon appetizers.

zepp
Perrin et Fils 2008 Grenache blanc 50%, bourboulenc 20%, marsanne 10%, rousanne 10%, viognier 10%
France, Rhone
B
   We're not white wine fans, but this was very pleasant and definitely worth the price. We had this before dinner and tried a bit with the shrimp (for which a subsequent aligoté was perfect).

Anakena 2009 Pinot Noir
Chile, Viticultural Region of the Central Valley, Rapel Valley
D+
   Too fruity and unrefined. Tasted like grape juice.

Caleta 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Canada/Chile
B
   Its like...A warm summer night at the cottage

BMHP
Columbia Crest 2007 Syrah Cabernet Franc Sangiovese Grenache Mouvedre
United States, Utah
A
   Aromas of strawberry and spice introduce this fruit-forward wine, the softly textured palate displays flavors of ripe plum and blackberries that are balanced by a silky finish

angels2star
King Ferry 2006 Merlot
United States, New York, Finger Lakes
B+
   Exaggerated oaky taste

Kooyong Haven 2005 Pinot Noir
Australia, Victoria, Mornington Peninsula
A

Cavit 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Italy, Trentino
B-
   A very smooth Cab, it is very mild and versatile.

slatten
Pacific Rim 2009 Riesling
United States, Washington, Columbia Valley
D
   This wine was very sweet, it is considered a medium-sweet Reisling though. Not for my tastes, but perhaps I drank it in the wrong context.

slatten
Fetzer 2008 Pinot Gris
United States, California, Mendocino County
C+
   Apple, pink grapefruit and lime. Good but unremarkable several days later.

slatten
Delle Venezie 2007 Merlot
Italy, Veneto
B
   A very good imported Merlot. Ripe with cherries, berries, and plums.

slatten
Tin Roof 2007 Sauvignon Blanc
United States, California
A-
   This was an excellent blanc. Very tasty and smooth. Worth drinking again.

slatten
Coppola 2007 Merlot
United States, California, Sonoma Valley
A+
   This was the best Merlot ever. We drank two bottles of it. It has the succulent flavors of berries, currants, plum and cocoa. Excellent!

slatten
Mendoza 2010 Malbec
Chile, Viticultural Region of the South
B-
   This wine was recommended by the wine store owner. It is very smooth with a spicy finish. Low tannin perhaps because of the vintage. It sneaks up on you though, producing a significant buzz.

Gray Fox 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon

Cupcake Vineyards 2008 Chardonnay
United States, California, Livermore Valley

Kelso NV Unspecified
United States, Washington, Columbia Valley
C
   Parmesan, asiago, romano, fontinella cheeses conspired to completely obscure any flavors this wine might have had. Interestingly, the label says it has flavors of "blackberries, plums, and ripe black berries (sic)." I fear we didn't even find single blackberry flavors, much less doubled.

Barone Montalto 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Italy, Sicily

Kim Crawford 2009 Sauvignon Blanc
New Zealand, Marlborough
A-
   My benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc

zepp
Nobilo Wine Group 2009 Sauvignon Blanc
New Zealand, Marlborough
C+
   Needed a quick white to have with the fish, and had not seen this before. Not bad, but then I don't have many expectations of a sauvignon blanc.

zepp
"Imported and bottled by French Maid" 2008 Sauvignon Blanc
France, Languedoc
C-
   Bought this to warm and use in the making of a porcini risotto. It worked. Tasted it later with the parmesan tilapia we had with the risotto--not something I would do again.

zepp
Casella Wines 2009 Pinot Noir
Australia, New South Wales, Yenda
C+
   We usually pair a dry rosé with salade niçoise, owing to the salad's many flavors. I didn't have anything on hand and it was getting late, so I grabbed this--not bad, but not typical of a pinot noir, either.

morlock
Fog Mountain 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
United States, California, Graton
C
   cut cork stopper, shallow dimple. Vinacci yielded leaky cork
