Brenda, I'm not that thrilled with my wine tonight either. I normally love Rieslings, but this one is a lot drier than most, and has a strong bite at the end. It's okay, but it's not something I will be buying again.
I also tried the following earlier today:
Graton Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, California......this was altogether forgettable. It didn't have any distinct flavors, and not much body.
Randall Monroe Chardonnay, California.....this had some nice topnotes....but had a very oaky finish, which turned me off.
Townshend Pink Table Wine, Washington.....I actually really liked this one. I haven't had many Washington wines, and was afraid that this would be like a zinfandel, but it was just a nice light dessert wine. Very fruity and floral at the same time.
Foxtail Red, California......I'm not a huge red wine fan, so I'm a bit prejuidiced, but I really didn't care for this one at all. Not only was it a very dry red, it had a big oaky finish.
Hurrah Surrah Syrah, California.....again, not a huge fan of reds, but this was nice. Very fruity as it had some cabernet in it.
I also have a public service announcement about a beer that my husband tried today.....I forget who made it, but it was called Flying Dog-in-heat Wheat. Avoid this beer at all costs! I took the first sip, and thought to myself.....this tastes like vomit! I assumed that it was the mix of the syrah which I had just finished mixed with the beer. I didn't tell Mike what I thought it tasted like, but I warned him that he should clear his palate with some water before taking a sip. So imagine my surprise when he tookd his first sip, and promptly announced...."This tastes like vomit"
I think that was probably the first bottle of beer that we have ever thrown out nearly full!
Traffic on the beltway and I-95 were brutal so I took a detour that took me over by Catherine's pied a terre, I do believe!
