Typical life in the week of me = come home from the 9-5, sometimes get in a delicious dinner, bottle of wine, movie watching, fixing up the house, exercising, blogging, working on websites, before going to bed way too late. Never get as much done as I like, but it doesn't matter because at least I'm spending time with Tom, who still makes me laugh until I cry after 3 years.

2002 2002 Chateau St. Jean Merlot
(2008-03-07 05:02:35 UTC)Damn good, with loads of berry flavor. Rich, ripe with big flavors of black cherry and blackberry. Satisfying finish.
2000 Chageau Roland La Garde Bordeaux
(2008-03-07 04:41:34 UTC)Cassis. Complex rich flavor, a little dry on the finish. Would go good with goat cheese.
2005 Château Fontanes Vin de Pays d'Oc Les Traverses de Fontanes
(2008-03-07 04:26:13 UTC)Dry and grippy yet smooth. It's tastier with cheese and snacks rather than salmon, brings out the fishy flavor. Very sippable wine filled with cabernet fruit. Elegant.
2003 Château du Pavillon
(2008-03-07 04:19:48 UTC)Very very musty. Not very good alone, but great with certain foods like figs and cheese. Berry and currant on the nose, but fruit is buried in flavor. Nice finish.
2004 Chateau Indage Cabernet Sauvignon Chantilli Sahyadri Valley
(2008-03-07 04:13:53 UTC)Warms up decently with some spicy Indian food, but ultimately is sour and boring with a strange aftertaste. Good & Plenties one person put it.
2004 Carneros Creek Pinot Noir Carneros Reserve
(2008-03-07 04:09:32 UTC)Fruity, light, and highly food-friendly. Subtle oak and darker than normal fruit. Not terribly memorable for the price.
2004 Castle Rock Pinot Noir
(2008-03-07 04:06:04 UTC)An alright pinot, a good value. Cherry, berry, uneventful.
2003 Brolio Chianti Classico 2003
(2008-03-07 04:01:33 UTC)Our Valentine's Day wine in remembrance of our amazing trip to Tuscany. Bang pow this is a tasty wine that hits your taste buds. Dark, vanilla, richness. Awesome with food and better when shared :)
2005 Cascina Degli Ulivi Gavi Filagnotti
(2008-03-07 01:57:13 UTC)Crazy nose of pineapple juice, definitely canned, smell them metal. Then exotic fruits with a bit of pear. The taste is a little of everything. Must, soap, nuts, exotic fruit. Almost tasted like a cocktail.
2003 Cascina Ballarin Flino Barbera d'Alba Flin
(2008-03-07 01:49:16 UTC)Very much raisiny. Dark and intense. Superb yet simple with a long flavorful aftertaste.
