2010 alois lageder pinot bianco

Not much here. No overbearing tastes or flavors. Not a re-buy

Casa Larga 2010 medium dry riesling

Citrusy of the grapefruit kind is the biggest flavor I got out of this.Not sure I would rebuy. Although recommended to have with spicy foods, we just had some cheese and crackers with this...

32 years of work captured in a duffel bag.

Well, I don't know if it's possible to capture 32 years of memories in  duffel bag, but that's exactly what I did yesterday.Last week Thursday after what would be my last night shift worked for this rapidly shrinking company, I and everyone else in my building received a note saying to please report to a different building on Monday morning. The note said it was a Business Adjustment Meeting or BAM. I can't make this stuff up....So we all go to this meeting full of HR people and the requisite security people, and are promptly told that our building is shut down as of right now, and we will no longer run the machines, we have been running for the last seven years.Our work is being sent to another plant. Starting tomorrow, there are appointments for everyone to be officially told you don't have a job anymore, and then shortly after that, an exit interview is to be scheduled. This is where we get to clean out our lockers,hand in our passes, and never enter the companies production buildings ever again.Three days to end a 32 year career. Not really a chance to say goodbye to fellow workers, or  the building we called home for the last 7 years. Of course the top two managers, kept their jobs, but pretty much everyone else was gone.It's not the way I wanted to end my career, but that's the way it happened, 32 years of memories, captured in a duffel bag........

2011 red newt cellars riesling

This is a bit on the sweet side for me, not as crisp of a finish as I would like.I wanted the semi dry version of this but it was not at available at the store I bought this from.Prolly not a rebuy for me, looking for something just a bit drier.But this would appeal to those who like the sweeter wines.

2010 cameron hughes sample lot 262 reserva malbec

This was good from the get go. Great nose and good flavors through-out.Certainly a re buy on this one.

2005 montirius gigondas

Still a little tight on the open. I have one more, and will prolly decant a bit before drinking. It did open up after a bit in the glass though, and was an overall nice wine.
