I've found that my list breaks down into sipper and eater categories... For the sippers I like the bigger fruit forward grapes. Zin sits at the top followed by Syrah and the sweeter...

"Greg, the Black Box challenge sounds like a hoot. We always tend to throw a ringer in our blind tastings so this sounds like a no brainer to me. I'd love to get in on the free sample if it's still available. My contact info is:

Jimmy Cocktail reviewed Barrel Oak Winery Norton 2008. (3.5/5)
On Oct 15

The first thing you notice is its color. A very dark ruby color that turns translucent (you can see light through it) when the light hits it just right. Very reminiscent of the gem of the same...

Jimmy Cocktail reviewed Flying Winemaker Zinfandel 2007. (3.5/5)
On Oct 13

The 2007 Zinfandel is made from juice that comes from ancient vines in the Lodi region. It is exactly what one would expect of a Lodi Zin. It is a translucent garnet in color fading to dark orange...

Jimmy Cocktail reviewed Can Blau Celler Can Blau 2007. (3/5)
On Oct 12

It is a blend of 40% Mazuelo, 40% Syrah and 20% Garnacha (Grenache). It is a full bodied wine with a luxiorious dark ruby color that gives you a strong nose of plum and blackberry. There is a...

Jimmy Cocktail reviewed Chrysalis Vineyards Tannat Reserve Hollin 2006. (3.5/5)
On Oct 5

This is a wine that benefits from breathing a couple of hours before drinking. It is pretty tight and the tannins are very pronounced when the bottle is first opened. Once it starts to open up...

Jimmy Cocktail reviewed Arabella Merlot 2007 2007. (4/5)
On Sep 22

The wine itself is a beautiful deep ruby color that lets plenty of light through. This is a big wine, 14.5% alcohol, but you don't sense that in the nose. That's because this wine has a...
