Hey everyone -
It was way back in April the last time we posted here.
Guess it's time - certainly enough going on -
This Thanksgiving, we are going outside the box - care to join us???
White - Rousanne. Not many growers of this guy in the USA, it's mainly grown in the Rhone, and is a white varietal that's allowed in Chateauneuf du Pape, the big guy's red ! We have the 2012 Andrew Rich, which is made from Washington fruit - this is a full bodied wine, a bit floral on the nose, but it's rich and satisfying - it would stand up well with turkey or ham.
Red - sometimes we have lamb at Thanksgiving. But even if you're having turkey, go BIG. We have a limited number of the 2009 NxNW Syrah. Also a Washington wine, this medium full wine has gorgeous aromas jumping out at you, the fruit flavors are ripe and the tannins soft - quite a long finish. Stunning.
And we have the usual suspects as well. Russian River Pinots from Romililly and Paul Hobbs. Oregon juice from Bernard Machado and Panther Creek.
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving this year ! M/V
