At least this one sounds like it tastes good.

Luanne, don't you have good discount wine out there? You're in California!

Yeah, but this is more fun, . Plus, I can do it from my desk.

I tried to get in on this one, They had the 4 I needed but they only had 2 left as I was finalizing my order.

I was going to say, never mind it's gone.

The $7.99 Shrah looks OK.

Dang, missed it! It was still showing, but when I put in 4, told me not available.

They put up a $8.99 Shiraz now, not sure about this one.

Well, I'll let you know as I just ordered some.

So this is...what? A German-style Gewurtztraminer made in France? Is Gewurztraimer always fairly sweet?

I found a review of this from 2006 that said, essentially, it's good, but drink it NOW. Trying to decide. Not generally a fan of German-style wines. Anybody in?

The ones I've had (in the past) were fairly sweet and also as I recall pretty light. My sister, who likes white zinfindel (if that tells you anything) likes them.

And the ones I've had had a very strong flowery smell that kind of gets in your mouth too much, if that makes sense. I think I've talked myself out of this one.

I don't care for most German wines.

Now German beer is another thing.

Yes, they seem to have nailed that.




This new wine isn't discounted enough.

Cameron Hughes
"LOT 9" Paso Robles
Syrah 2003
Free Shipping on 4 or more
Original:
$30.00

Our Price:
$14.99


RATINGS/SCORES:

(Product description)

UNIT SIZE: 750 ml
VARIETAL: Syrah
VINTAGE: 2003
COUNTRY: United States of America
REGION: Paso Robles

Lot 9

Vintage: 2003
Appellation: Paso Robles
Grape: Syrah
Production: 1,240 cases


Taste: Big black and purple fruit, plenty of huckleberry, chocolate, and lavender on the nose. Rich midpalate of blackberry pie, smoke and spice melds into the chocolately finish.

Cameron Confidential: Paso Robles, due to the greatest extremes between hot days and cool nights of any region in the state, has established its reputation as one of the best places to grow Syrah and (as well as Petite Sirah) in California. This wine was made as an ?exploratory wine? by a boutique producer testing a relatively new vineyard. The wine was made with natural yeasts and aged 19 months in mostly neutral oak. Two different lots were made and we chose this one over the other for its combination of intensity and low tannin drinkability. Neither wine was bottled by the producer as they decided to tweak the vineyard management a bit to get to the $35-40 price point they were looking for.
