2007 Remonte Tempranillo - Spain
As our first Tempranillo, this was a rather interesting wine. We enjoyed the flavor and spiciness. Not watery, slightly sweet, yet still bold. Very nice.
2007 Thierry & Guy Fat bastard Merlot - France
We thoroughly enjoyed this plump companion. As promised, full-bodied and flavorful. Great with steak!
2006 337 Cabernet Sauvignon - Canada
Tasty, delicious red. Dryer than most cabernets. You can taste the bordeaux flavor!
2005 Castell del Remei Gotim Bru - Spain
Interesting to try, but a bit spicy. I didn't care for it with scallops. Perhaps a darker meat or chicken would have been a better pairing.
2006 Castello Monaci Piluna Primitivo - Salento
Honestly, I didn't think I'd like it from the bottle. Being made from zinfandel grapes, I was expecting more 'boxed wine' appeal. However, this primitivo surprised me with its bold, dry taste and flavorful ending. Quite pleasurable.
2006 Chateau Foeur de Regaud Bordeaux Superieur - Gironde, FR
Smooth, inviting, pleasurable. Goes to show the French know how to do it right!
