Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
After yesterdays delightful
skip through a selection of food blogs I
thought a similar trip around the wine blogs was in order; after all I had a hour or so to kill this afternoon!A couple of great recommendations to kick off from WineWaves (screenshot pictured) who provides notes on the Duck Pond Pinot Noir, 2004, Oregon which is described as pairing well with Wood-fired, Herb-Roasted Chicken, and the second bottle went well "with Pan-Seared Salmon and Blackberry Glaze". Lenndevours is looking forward to a Lenz Winery Comparative Tasting in Long Island while Tempranillo takes a recapping trawl through his recycling bin; some good stuff in there.
Cam down at Appellation Australia has written up a mass of tasting notes from a recent trade tasting with the Curlewis Winery of Geelong scoring highly. Not seen these wines in the UK so I must keep an eye out for them; knowing my luck they are only sold in Australia. In Utah Beau on Basic Juice reports on the missing wine he sent me - it seems to have survived a trip over the pond and back again and paired nicely "with a grilled gruyere sammy accented with two shakes of herbes de Provence". Shame I never got to try it...
I have this plan to actually get to New York sometime in the next 12 months; by which time I hope that the WineChicks bring-your-own guide to NYC will offer a host of restaurants to sample; that's the plan anyway. they have also peaked my interest to hunt down some more obscure grape varieties; they recently sampled a Biodynamic Grolleau. I think I have one of those in the cellar somewhere; time to uncork it me feels.
