| 2004 Brewer Clifton "Clos Pepe" Pinot Noir. Needs to be decanted for sediment. I could have made a very colorful sandcastle out of what was left behind in my glass, and in the bottle. The wine was very good. | | | Beta testing a new signature. | |

| 2004 Cameron Chardonnay "Abbey Ridge" - Excellent as usual. We recently moved to a new house (for us - the house is 80 years old) and all of the wine is sitting in the basement in boxes. This seems to be the only white that Jan can find. I really need to get the wine racks set up! 2002 Cameron Pinot Noir | | Heater Allen Brewing

| 2001 Switchback Ridge Petite Sirah - haven't tried this in a few years but, wow, it's progressed through all it's puppy fat, agressive tannins and spice and rounded out into an almost mellow, complex drink. I paired this up with grilled turkey tenderloins and a spicy pepperdew salsa and the wine was, surprisingly, almost overwhelmed. Based on this bottle, no need to hold onto these. | | | |

| 2001 Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Reserva - tale of two bottles. First one was awful and boring. This wasn't that bad, and I'd give it a 90. Bizarre how great the bottle variation was. | | | |

| Tonight we've got a 2004 Insignia and a 2003 Sequoia Grove Cabernet going. Both are drinking very well and the Insignia was fantastic, despite being so young! | | | "Wine is Food"---Baccus | |

| 2005 Peay Viogner 2004 Leroy Bourgogne 1999 Arcadian Syrah "Robert O'Fleming" Cuvee - maybe the best American Syrah I've tasted, seriously. Caveat Emptor, I prefer more "old school" syrah to the very extracted fruit bombs. | | | |
