Just came in from mowing the lawn and grabbed the only bottle of beer in the fridge. It's a (god help me) Miller Chill. Where'd this come from???

I was referring to the message I got, which was a question regarding sales tax and state licensing questions. |

WineDaddy- Any notes on the CSJ and Shafer? "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stockmarket beat, but the man worth-while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." -Judge Smails |

At various restaurants over the last few days:
1. 2005 Cain Cuvee - a pretty darn decent drinker for under $50/bottle on the wine list (I would assume about $30 retail), quaffable, but not transcendant. Will try and see this out. 2. 2006 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast - This is the first KB that I have even thought of as wine and enjoyable. I know that this puts me in a bad crowd, potentially, but I could never get over the fact that that I was drinking something relatively zin-ish with a shot of vodka in it. This, on the other hand, was very intense, dark fruit that was very tasty and enjoyable. Not saying that I would go and spend the money to buy it, especially not being on the list, but this is the first one that I thought that I would enjoy more than one glass. 3. 2005 Joseph Drouhin Gevrey-Chambertin 4. 2005 Joseph Drouhin Volnay 1er Cru 5. 2004 Bouchard Pere et Fils Echezeaux - wow. 6. 2004 D'Arenberg Laughing Magpie - Viognier/Marsanne blend - yuck Dale Drink wine, and you will sleep well. Sleep, and you will not sin. Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved. Medieval German Saying |

I've never been disappointed by the CSJ. Still floral on the nose, primarily cherry with touch of herbs on the palate, seamless and elegant. I wouldn't hold much longer however as I thought the fruit was tiring. I much preferred this the first time I had it in 2005 richer, silkier and chocolate on the palate. The Shafer Merlot was quite enjoyable as well not complex or layered but full of fruit blueberry and cherry. I find this wine very consistent from year to year and seem to like it more than WA or WS suggests. I had a 1996 at the winery this summer that blew me away. I never would have considered holding this wine more than 5-6 years. Mind you I only buy 2 usually since it goes for $59 (recent drop to $55) up here in LCBO hell. |

Recently visited the winery in the Valley de Guadalupe on a trip to Baja, have yet to drink any of the bottles I purchased. Lots of nice little wineries through there. |
