Blufeld #1

Had the 2009 Blufeld Riesling tonight with dinner.  Sorry to say that we drank it before I had a chance to Vlog or Blog about it.  It was a great Riesling if not the best Ive ever had.  Much better that any American version I've ever had.  I plan on getting it again soon and will Vlog about it.  Definitely doing a vlog tomorrow night. 

QOTD:  Anybody a fan of SAMCRO?

Monday

No new wines going up today.  I'm in class from 8 am till 5:30 pm tonight.  Then I go into work at 7 pm.  I did try a Lamadrid 2008 Torrontes last night.  I plan on getting it sometime this week or next week and doing a video on it.  This week you can expect about 3-4 different videos.  There is a white Bordeaux that is the low end label of Rothschild, a Mosel Germany Riesling, an Italian Muscadet, a Cotus Du Rhone, and possibly Apothic Red Blend.  Other than that we had a good weekend and ate way too much food.  See everyone tomorrow.  Going to keep the tradition going with the question of the day.  Please respond if you feel like it.  Trying to get some interaction going on here.

Sep 23

No new wines for today.  I would like to extend a happy birthday to my best friend, my wife.  I love you and thank you for being there for me.  Tomorrows wine will be posted on Sunday.  Maybe I can talk Alyssa into being a guest on my blog.  If anyone wants to taste along with me I will be tasting the 2008 Broadside Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, California.
QOTD:  Will Vanderbilt upset South Carolina?

Sicily

I forgot to put a rating on this.  I would give it a solid 90 points.

QOTD:  Should I keep doing vlogs?

Spaghetti night wine

Monday night's wine pales in comparison to Sunday's.  We tried a wine from the central region of Italy called Gran Sasso Montepulciano D'Abruzzo.  It has a dark and I mean dark purple color with a grape juice nose and a hint of oak and vanilla.  It has a decent mouth feel.  Tannin structure is a bit bitter and can really feel it in my jaw.  My first impression is that it's an average wine.  The flavor seems to fall off the more I drink it.  It is a serviceable wine that I would definitely drink again.  I think it's more of an every night wine.  I would rate it a solid 86 points. For it only being $9.99, I would definitely buy it again. 

QOTD:  Should I do a video post?
