2008 columbia crest amitage

Very nice wine. black fruit throughout and a good finish, with a bit of tannin on the end.

2003 tin shed shiraz

Nice fruit on the front end, and where my limited palette can't distinguish between fruits, i got a distint taste of pommegranaite on the front end.nice midpallete and the fruit hangs on for a nice finish. Only issue, is the amont of debris in this wine. Make sure to filter out the last glass or you might be unpleasantly surprised.

2009 Tons douro

This was a bit of a strange one..good nose and red fruit on the front end with good flavors on the mid pallette , but started out with a very weak finish. This one actually developed a nice finish the further I got into it.Bought 9 of em, so we'll have to see what happens down the road.

2009 acrobat pinot gris

I hate to fall into the grassy kind of thing with some pinot gris, but this exactly what this is.Not super strong like some sauvignon blanc, but still there. nice finish.some bubbles at the bottom of the glass, which is a bit strange...for 10 bucks, prolly a pass.

2009 kaiken malbec

Lots of dark fruit , tasty , but  this was probably the heaviest wine I have had in quite a while so my view could be a bit skewed. I enjoyed it, but not sure if I would buy again, as the 2005 was also tasted with similiar lackluster notes.

2010 lot 228 cameron hughes moscato d'asti

What a nice little starter for a meal or on it's own! At 7% alcohol, it's not going to make you stupid and it was very light and citrusy, with a slight hint of a bubble at the end. In fact, it kind of popped like champagne when I opened it. for 13 bucks, I would buy again.

2009 berger zweigelt

Well this certainly didnt rock my socks, but I may actually buy another and see what happens. I opened this as a pop and pour and then had it in a white wine glass, so I may have not given it it's proper justice. The wine was very alcoholy on the nose to me, and kind of a flat mid palette.Ended up passing this one around as being a new varietal I had never had, I wanted to share with as many peeps as possible. no raving reviews, no thumbs down either. I'm gonna have to give this some breathing time next try and see if I have a different opinion.

2009 beso de vino red blend

Seemed a little awkward on the nose, maybe a bit of a chemical smell. Pallete was ok, but didnt rock my socks.85% syrah , 15% garnacha......nutin special but for 8 bucks, not a bad wine. Prolly not  a rebuy for me...
