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 Da Vinci Chanti

As always, a crowd pleaser. Keep it up!

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 Giordano Toscana Rosso - Tuscany, IT

Lovely wine with a rich, full flavor. A favorite.

2006 Chateau Foeur de Regaud Bordeaux Superieur - Gironde, FR

Smooth, inviting, pleasurable. Goes to show the French know how to do it right!
