Wine Tasting May 22 ’10
Well. We are still in Italy, sorry for not keeping you all up to date on that, still working on it. For now I understand the tasting with Brian and Leigh and Lauren went well, hope you all could stop by.
This weekend Judy will be pouring another appealing batch of wines, and those of you who know her know to expect a certain Energy and Festivity…kinda sorry to miss it ourselves. Maybe Leigh will add something to this post..? If not, we understand no pictures were taken last week, so here’s one from Florence our first day here…
This week’s wines:
Gordon bros sauvignon blanc Washington $8
Aromas of citrus, melon and mango; flavors of lime, pink grapefruit and melon; a clean, crisp, versatile partner with fish or fowl.
Graffigna Malbec Argentina $9
Clean and direct, with a beam of raspberry and black cherry fruit laced with roasted vanilla
Townshend T3 red blend (Washington) $15
Full bodied, slightly jammy, non-vintage blend of cab, merlot, and cab franc
Alexandra Nicole QB 07 (Washington) $19
Bright nose of pomegranate and red licorice, with notes of dust and sweet pipe tobacco. Medium-bodied, with loads of bright, citrusy acid framing red and black licorice flavors and a long, buttery finish.

And we saw a photo on the LBC photo shoot, looks like you have put up your show…can’t wait to see it!!! We are packed up and leaving for Florence tomorrow, one last day, visit the David, and on the plane early Wed AM. Had planned to buy zero wine, somehow have accumulated a case and a half….although heads up, Mark, six are for YOU from Mate winery!
Also, apologies to all for not keeping up with posts to blog, but internet service here is Super Slow, just not worth the effort. So we have weeks of posts ahead with lots of photos and impressions and the odd film clip (Really Odd, cuz I haven’t figured out how to shoot them with our little camera or how to edit them). More later!
