¡hooray vino!: The Third Thursday Of November

http://hoorayvino.blogspot.com/2009/11/third-thursday-of-november.html

Food, wine, spirits, thoughts. Thursday, November 19, 2009. The Third Thursday Of November. Every year on the third Thursday of November, the new vintage of Beaujolais Nouveau is released. It is a tradition that, I believe, dates back to World War 2 when Germany destroyed a large amount of vineyards in France. This "New Wine" is released on the same day each year and is a "drink-now" variety. Last year was terrible. Lets see how this year stacks up. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

¡hooray vino!: Goldeneye Pinot Noir 2006

http://hoorayvino.blogspot.com/2009/10/goldeneye-pinot-noir-2006.html

Food, wine, spirits, thoughts. Thursday, October 8, 2009. Goldeneye Pinot Noir 2006. Anderson Valley, California. Admittedly a little young, but with a couple hours in a decanter, it opened up wonderfully! With a very light color and a delicate nose, Goldeneye's 2006 offering is light and tart with elements of tobacco, coffee, and earth backed with brightness and lovely red berry notes. Complex and will become even more inviting as a few more years pass. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

¡hooray vino!: Repeated Absence

http://hoorayvino.blogspot.com/2010/03/repeated-absence.html

Food, wine, spirits, thoughts. Tuesday, March 2, 2010. If I was in school, I would have been expelled. Life is such an amazing phenomenon and it loves to throw curve-balls at you every chance it gets. Alright, I am gonna keep this brief and move along to my first new review, though I cannot promise how often I will be able to keep this up. Here it goes:. I am beginning a sommelier's course!

¡hooray vino!: Bell's Hopslam

http://hoorayvino.blogspot.com/2010/03/bells-hopslam.html

Food, wine, spirits, thoughts. Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Comstock, Michigan, USA. I have to thank my wonderful friend Melanie for holding onto this one for me. If I had truly known what I was in for, I would have grabbed two. Limited edition brew out of Michigan is a real treat. A beautiful amber tone with a thin head, this beer has a nose that I can only describe as a floral-kiwi with a backing sweetness. On the tongue, the biting bitter is, I am not saying this lightly, perfectly. View my complete profile.

http://hoorayvino.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Food, wine, spirits, thoughts. Thursday, July 24, 2008. Conde de Valdemar Reserva 2004. So I was lazy this week.here is part 7 of my 11 part series of Spanish wine. The Conde de Valdemar is a nice full-bodied red with a beautiful ruby red color and notes of raspberry and oak. Would be great with a meal off the grill. Friday, July 18, 2008.

Food, wine, spirits, thoughts. Friday, June 12, 2009. Clos de los Siete 2006. 45% Malbec, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah. Made by the renowned Michel Rolland, this blend is dry, heavy and toasty with notes of vanilla, coffee, tart cherries and rich plum. Bright acidity, silky tannins, full-bodied and mouth-filling with a long, lingering finish. Cousiño-Macul Cabernet Sauvignon Antiguas Reservas 2006. Maipo Valley, Chile. Portal del Alto Carménère Gran Reserva 2005. Maule Valley, Chile.

¡hooray vino!: November 2009

http://hoorayvino.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Food, wine, spirits, thoughts. Thursday, November 19, 2009. Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau 2009. As you see, after three years or so, I finally figured out how to take pictures with my Macbook.but I digress. EDIT: I am changing my story. After sitting out for 30 minutes to an hour, the Drouhin becomes a much more mellow, well-rounded drink with a richness that isn't as punch-you-in-the-face as the Duboeuf. This is truly the better wine of the two, it just needs a moment to find itself. Lover of good w...
