August Gathering of The Wino's

Sunday, August 22, 2010

Today's gathering of the winos was our annual "Zinfandel" tasting. Doug always has the same theme and it is always when the weather heats up.

Zinfandels and Pinot based sparkling, champagne or Rose wines.

I brought a 2008 Clos Pepe Rose of Pinot Noir. There were quite a few sparklings & Rose's. I think people are starting to think like me. Hot weather is not the time for a big heavy, high alcohol wine.

I did taste a couple of the Zins. A 1995 Pedroncelli, Mother Clone, Dry Creek, The 2004 Norman, Mephistopheles, the 2007 Anglim and the 2008 Rockwall, Jesse's Vineyard.

A good turnout and a lot of food. I filled up on appetizers.
