Today we "wino's" gathered in Santa Monica for our monthly soiree. I was just up here last Thursday for Lobster. Stan may get tired of seeing my face. Maybe I should start wearing a disguise.
The theme today was wines from the McLaren Vale (Australia). Since it was close to St. Patrick's day the seemed evolved around corned beef & cabbage. Even Henry (who is Chinese) made a dish featuring corned beef.
d'Arenberg wines seemed to take center stage today. There were 7 wines with the d'Arenberg label. All different. The top wine was a 100 point wine. A 2001 d'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz. There was a 2005 Tatachilla Cabernt Sauvignon that was very good. All the wines were good even the whites. The 2008 Mollydooker, The Violinist, Verdelho was a surprise. Verdelho is a Spanish grape but the Aussies's did quite well with it.
