Pinot Noir 2005 Hitching Post Highliner Pinot Noir
Sunday, August 24, 2008 at 09:41PM
An upscale “house wine” at the Hitching Post in Buellton, CA. The restaurant is worth the wait, and the wine is worth the extra $$$ when compared to other Pinots on the extensive wine list.

2004 Waltzing Bear Petite Syrah "Bud" French Camp
Sunday, August 24, 2008 at 10:02AM Sourced from the French Camp vineyard in San Louis Obispo, I had a glass of this at Los Olivos Cafe. An excellent wine that struck me as perfect after just sitting down to look at the menu.
2006 Arcano Chianti Colli Senesi
Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at 10:30PM This dry red table wine uses organic grapes and is a real treat. Not as fruity as other Chiantis I’ve had recently this was tasted at Il Chianti in Lomita, CA.
Marcelena 2001 Napa Valley Merlot
Friday, February 1, 2008 at 10:35PM Nice, even merlot. From the label: “The nose is highlighted with sweet berries and anise with notes of toast.” Talk about a wine description that can give one an inferiority complex: I have to admit that I needed to look up anise in Wikipedia, at which point I learned that it was a phytoestrogen. Well alrighty then; hopefully this wine does not give me hot flashes.

Guenoc 2005 North Coast Victorian Claret
Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at 09:53PM Not bad, little bit of aftertaste at the end, goes well with pizza.
Wilson Creek 2005 Temecula Valley Estate Syrah
Sunday, October 21, 2007 at 08:44PM Wilson Creek is a nice little winery in Temecula that we have a wine club membership to. I don’t remember their Syrah from before but got a couple 2005 estate bottles in the mail. I have to say that this Syrah is one of the most drinkable around, especially for anyone that doesn’t like the usual peppery character of many of the Syrahs out there.
Syrah Hokusetsu 10-year Old Sake
Monday, October 8, 2007 at 09:39PM Had this at Nobu in New York, and it was very smooth. I wish I could comment more but I am too ignorant in the field of sake to say anything more.
