No, I did not misspell "palate" - my business sells wooden pallets (as well as boxes, skids, cut lumber, etc.) I like good wine, good food, good cigars, good music, and good dogs.

2004 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
(2006-07-11 20:25:25 UTC)Not quite as surprising as their pinot noir of the same vintage was for me. Still, a nice sipper.
2004 Kim Crawford Pinot Noir
(2006-07-11 20:23:59 UTC)Snobs, please ignore the screw cap and enjoy this one for what it is - lighter and sweeter than most pinots. A very nice surprise
2004 Franciscan Chardonnay
(2006-07-11 20:21:49 UTC)Pleasant and complex. Big in the mouth. Spicy with a sweet finish.
2004 Clos du Bois Pinot Noir
(2006-07-11 20:20:09 UTC)Nice - competes well with other wines in this price range.
2003 Raymond Sauvignon Blanc Reserve
(2006-06-28 23:12:22 UTC)A very nice example of the essence of this varietal realized. A great summer afternoon sipper, it became a very enjoyable glass with a plate of cucumbers mascerated in rice wine vinegar. Very nice value.
2001 Clos du Bois Merlot
(2006-06-28 23:08:39 UTC)Good mouth feel - a small amount of tanin would pair this nicely with a cheeseburger off the grill. This really deserves a 3.5 (fractional ratings coming soon?) after opening up a bit.
2003 Louis Jadot Pinot Noir Bourgogne (Burgundy)
(2006-06-28 23:00:50 UTC)Very nice value! A great Vin De Pays - understated and light on the tongue, but a nice level of complexity. Great for when you want this style, but dont want to shell out the cash for an AOC.
2004 Red Bicyclette Syrah (Vin de Pays)
(2006-06-19 20:06:57 UTC)Sweet and simple - very nice but nothing unexpected.
2002 Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon
(2006-06-05 20:01:51 UTC)Very nice. Full-bodied, and fairly complex for this price range. A very pleasant surprise.
2004 Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio
(2006-06-04 14:12:54 UTC)A bit fuller in the mouth than I was expecting. Pleasant and simple, however.
