2009 chateau moulin de la bridane

OK, so this was a $12 bottle of wine. Maybe a waste of $12 at that. This was not very good. Disjointed at best, just not well put together....I didn't dump it down the drain.....but it was close...

2011 cameron hughes lot 305 torrontes

Ended up being a nice day out, so I decided to pop open a bottle and sit in the sunshine and enjoy! This did not dissapoint! Nice citrusy flavor on the nose and tongue. A little wish washy on the back-end, but overall, a nice bottle of wine.

2009 coppola rosso

So, a bargain priced red blend from FFC.Not bad at the nose or palette, but pretty much lacked any kind of finish. I would prolly try something else before rebuying this one.

2003 valderiz ribera del duero

Certainly one of my oldest and most expensive wines. I bought it as part of a multi-pack, and guessed price to be about $33.(current listing shows from 29-32$) Anyhow....excellent wine with a great nose of what I perceived to be leather. More leather and possibly licorice on the palette and a nice smooth finish.I almost hate to drink these by myself, but, the wine rack , is getting a bit thin.

2011 keuka spring riesling

Nice riesling, no tasting notes from the winery, so I don't know wht they were aiming for. But this was a very nice bottle of wine.

2010 hearts and hands riesling

This riesling is a combination of three different vineyards. The results , a very fine wine. A bit towards the sweet side, but as much as I like my dry reds, I do prefer the semi dry to semi sweet whites. Well done!
