Empson portfolio Brunello tasting? What were your thoughts on the wines, JC? I tasted the Fuligni and two Poggio Antico Brunellos in November, and thought the Fuligni was the best of the three, but I wasn't overly impressed with any of them. Then again, they were just recently shipped from Italy, so that may have had something to do with it. |

The importer/distributor was pouring - I did not ask the company though - nice guy in any event knew all the producers etc. The Lisini was by far the worst of the lot - I thought the wines were showing pretty well - to me the Costanti was the best - If I were ranking I would say Costanti, Fuligni, Pog. Ant. Altero, Pog. Antico normale and then the Lisini. The Altero and Fuligni were a little too oak driven for my personal preference in a brunello but in terms of showing on Saturday that would be the order - The PA normale may just need time - Wi |

Complex floral aroma; lots of red fruit and spices - tannin is completely resolved. Ready to drink now. |

That would be great, as others you know are also holding a few.  |

2005 Truro Vineyards Cabernet Franc
Just opening it now and gonna give it a little air for a while. The sample I tried at the winery in Cape Cod was surprisingly good, but then again, there was only about four inches of wine left in the bottle when I showed up. It was very approachable and smooth considering its a 3 year old Cab Franc. Excited for this one... This message has been edited. Last edited by: JMatthews, |

Nope. Was surprisingly well-rounded. Not overly tannic, hot, or anything...negative. Probably the best shiraz I've ever had thus far. ______________________________________ I'm throwin' rocks tonight. Mark it, Dude. |

Go with the 750mL, PH. I know you've got some of those around too! I'm going to try one of mine soon too. I tried it last 3 years ago, so that's why I was asking for a data point - especially considering Winetex's uninteresting TN on CellarTracker. |

What did you think? I've had the 06 Russian River Chardonnay and thought it was really good, but figured I'd hold on to the pinots for another year or so. |

2007 Paumanok Sauvignon Blanc
yes, it's true i am the paumanok cheerleader lately, but i believe in the whites i have tasted. this one is no exception. good juice. but here's my complaint. it's $28. i can throw a dart at the sauv blanc section of any wine shop and hit decent drinking sb's at 1/2 the cost. why why why is the pricing as it is(it goes for 100% of my experiences with ny wines)? i would try and support these more if only someone would come to their sences. rant over. ----------------------------- "religion ='s thought disorder" - sigmund freud |
