2006 pellegrini cab franc
Classic cab franc nose and flavors with a good finish. A nice bottle of wine. The 2004 was not as good, but this is a rebuy for sure!

2007 anthony road M.R.S. cab franc
OK, I had BIG expectations for this wine, but I have to tell you, I was not impressed.The big expectations came from the $30 price tag. I had asked one of our local wine enthusiasts for his 10 best finger lakes wines, and this made the list. Now, I had this wine with a nice NYS strip steak, and some oven roasted garlic on some french bread. the wine, never shined. Did the garlic overpower it? Maybe...but this was a dissapointment, and it really is starting to re-afirm my belief that there are no good NYS red wines. I am following this up with a cab franc from Long island...it will be on the next post.

2009 cameron hughes lot 234 meritage
Nice bottle of wine. Good fruit on the nose, nice mid-pallette flavors but a bit weak on the finish. For $16 would I buy again........not sure..

victorianbourg wine estate meritage (nv)
I'm always leery of NYS red wine because they usually taste pretty good in the tasting room, but can be a disappointment once you get them home. This did not disappoint! Nice nose of red fruit, and a good mid-palette with a medium finish...For $15 though, I'm not sure if I would rebuy.Maybe at the 12-13 dollar level...

Not wine, but nascar! (kyle busch)
I like kyle busch! He may be the best driver with the most natural talent out there right now. He was stupid for wrecking ron hornaday in the trucks and was properly punished. Now it's getting out of hand....the nationwide sponsors don't want him in the car...apparently m&m's isn't going to be on the car the last two races of the year in the sprint cup series. GIMME A FUC*ING BREAK!!!! Dale Earnhardt pretty much wrecked who ever he wanted where ever he wanted (ask terry labonte) and everybody loved him for it. NASCAR is facing a situation where the stands are about 3/4 full at most of the tracks.( i quit going a couple years ago) Driving around in a circle for 500 miles is a bit boring... BTW, TRUCKS ARE the best racing in nascar these days....the sport needs kyle busch, and sponsors who actually want their products on TV because their drivers are leading a few laps are going to want kyle also. Let's keep kyle doing what he does best.....driving and causing controversy !!
2010 cameron hughes lot 228 moscato d'asti
A light , slightly bubbly appertif wine. I got a bit of citrus on the nose and a very nice refreshing taste. Any heavy food would overpower this, but then again, that's not what it is meant for. The light bubble finish on the end is very nice. I would definately rebuy this wine.

2009 terra andina cabernet sauvignon.
A $6 wine should not taste this good! Nice red fruit with a good finish. Considering buying a case of this, just to have a good everyday drinker on hand.
2009 nugan vision riverina cabernet sauvugnon
After having a head cold for a week, this was the first wine I could really taste. It did not dissapoint, especially for a $7 wine. Standard flavors for a cab sauv, with a little oak on the nose. a rebuy for sure.
