Car in the shop?

Dom l'Hortus '03 Grand Cuvee

tonight with burgers and deadwood:
2002 Turley Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard

2001 Kaisler Stonehorse Shiraz
2005 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

A 2004 Sanford Santa Rita Chardonnay was gross as it seemed to be in the last stages of secondary fermentation. Just a tad too much spritz in an oaky Chard for me.

2000 Bressler Cabernet Sauvignon
2002 Kistler Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
2003 Kistler Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard

2003 Thomas Pinot Noir

I'm a little intimidated (nah, not really ...just hugely impressed!) by these wines. I'm having a very simple 2002 Rosemount GSM.

The 2002 Rosemount GSM is a good wine at a great price. I would not call it 'very simple' -- I'd say that it is a smart choice!

2004 Alcina Cellars Pinot Noir Sangiacomo Vineyard

Got right back on the horse, eh TBird?

So far, over the weekend, all with grilled fare:

2002 Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon (went head to head against the ‘03)
2003 Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon (similar to the ‘02, but the ‘03 is clearly a better wine)
2003 Merry Edwards Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir (a great CA PN, glad I bought another 6-pack)
2003 Ponzi WV Pinot Noir

At a restaurant and then a wine bar in SF for a friend's birthday:

# 2004 Hartley-Ostini Hitching Post Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard
# 1999 Eaglepoint Ranch Pinot Noir
# 2004 Papapietro Perry Pinot Noir

2004 Copain Arrowhead Mountain Zinfandel

So Good

Thanks for the invite.

Well, it's July so... Riesling, Riesling and some more Riesling.

Nothing too fancy though, saving up for a trip, but right now some Stoneleigh Marlborough Riesling, a very good budget alternative.
