The monthly gathering of the "winos" today. Today's theme was Petite Syrah and Chardonnay. I think for the first time we had more white wines than red. 9 whites and 7 reds. A couple of the wines that I particularly liked were the 1996 Charteau Chamirey, Mercury, Chardonnay, the 2002 Pouilly-Fuisse, LaCote-Ricotte, Chardonnay, the 1994 Markham, Napa Petite Syrah, 2002 Rosenblum, Rockpile Road, Dry Creek, Petite Syrah and the 2004 Robert Biale Vineyard, Thomann Station Petite Syrah.
As always the food was good. The hosts made a pork loin with fruit sauce which disappeared fast. Some of the notable appetizers included mini crab cakes, sauteed shrimp and mini bell peppers (red, yellow & green) stuffed with a cheese mixture.
Next month we are off to the land of "Zinfandels & Pinot Noir based Rose Champagnes & Sparklings"
