| A big thank you to everyone that came to dinner last night at Enotria! It was great to finally offline with you folks. I had a fabulous time, and I appreciate the hospitality you all showed. Particular thanks to Brent for organizing and winebrat for hosting!
Hope to see everyone again real soon to pop a few more corks.
Here's a list of the wines that I tasted:
NV Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve Champagne
2004 SQN The Rejuvenators
2002 HdV Chardonnay Carneros
1993 Gaja Barolo Sperss
1998 Mauro Veglio Barolo Vigneto Arborina
2001 M2 Vintners Syrah Lock Vineyard Paso Robles
2005 Pelerin Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands
2005 Etude Pinot Noir Carneros
2001 Bressler Cabernet Sauvignon
2003 M2 Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon Clone Six Allen Family Vineyard Rutherford
2004 M2 Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon Clone Six Allen Family Vineyard Rutherford
2003 Keenan Cabernet Franc Spring Mountain District Napa Valley
2002 A. Rafanelli Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley Sonoma County
2004 Modus Operandi Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Thanks for bringing a bunch of Cali wines that I wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity to taste. We don't see any of those labels back in Toronto, so it's appreciated.
I would say that my favourite wines last night were the M2 Syrah and the Bressler Cab. I'm quite disappointed with how the Veglio Barolo was showing. It's still very closed and nothing like the bottle I tasted in Italy last May. My apologies for that. I've got a glass or so left to try tonight, so maybe it will be more expressive.
If anyone ever makes it up to Toronto, please let me know! | | |

my first time at Enotria, and I digged the place. Probably one of the most memorable wine dinners I've had the pleasure of attending.  | | | |
