March 29, 2011

Sorry I have been so behind on posting since my move! It has been so crazy busy. I accepted my old position as cafe manager back so I currently have 2 jobs. Also me and my husband moved again! This time from his parents home to beautiful Emeryville Ca. We got incredibly lucky with our apartment as it is walking distance to everything! Once we get settled I plan to really focus on being the Vineyard Vixen and I promise more posts!
Last week me and my friend Jen did a wine tasting flight at the SF Ferry Building. Next time we go I think I am going to customize the tasting because these were mostly dissapointing.
Georges Vernay '09 Syrah
-light body
-mild fruit with slightly spicy finish
-floral aroma
-nothing special
Thomas Alexander "Origines" Syrah Paso Robles Ca
-heavy body
-black, stone fruit flavors
-cloying, honey-like taste and mouthfeel
-big thumbs down, neither of us could even finish the 2oz. Taste
2007 La Barroche Chateauneuf Du Pape
-medium body
-flavors of raisin, dried fruit, currant, nutmeg
-best wine in the flight
On a side note I think I found the best wine snack...Boccalone's meat cone!
