We had some great Murray's Cheese pairings-- Tomme Crayeuse Affinage, Comte Sainte, and homemade hummus. The celebration was certainly merry and the wine comparison was very interesting (having a mixed crowd of wine fanatics/non-wine folk). Here are some tidbits from the guest tasting notes: 'DYLAN' 2004 "peach and lemon on the nose" "mandarin orange" "citrusy" "red delicious apple" "crisp acidity upfront leading to a smooth finish" "mineral finish" "creamy and fruity" 'DYLAN' 2005 "bright lemon" "apple" "citrusy pucker that lingers" "leaner than the 2004" "crisp acidity in the back corners of the mouth" "mineral finish" "lingering" 'DYLAN' 2006 "granny smith apple" "lemon-rosemary" "lemon meringue pie" "orangey-lemon" "tart apple" "crystalline" "smooth texture" "glycerine texture" "mineral finish" "smooth body" !http://www.orielwines.com/email/dylantasting.jpg!    (hide)

Read moreLast night at the Oriel office we had a side-by-side comparison of our 365 prosecco to a particular champagne with a bright yellow label (I'm sure you know the one). Here are our thoughts: In terms of food, we had fresh summer strawberries and Murray's hooked us up with a triple creme and a 'hock ybrig' (cow's milk cheese from Swiss mountains). Everyone agreed it was a really nice pairing. Danielle: "Smaller bubbles in the prosecco, more refreshing. The champagne has a heavier mouthfeel, and while it's tasty, it feels a little clunky next to the 'i wish i was back on my front porch in georgia' prosecco." Lara: "I think there is a slight cork taint in the champagne; its borderline but im taking it into consideration, the nose comes across as one-note and musty. The palate is nice though-- I like the structure of the champagne, likely attributed to the Pinot Noir content. The prosecco is much lighter and therefore smoother, and I think the aromatics are nice-- white flowers, orange peel, maybe a little brioche?" Rob: "Ok, I am a big fan of the yeasty-ness and minerality of the champagne; the 365 doesnt hold up to the same yeasty-ness but the fruit and minerality of the 365 puts it as a tough competitor. Both wines really stood up well next to the rich cheeses and to the delicate strawberries." So I know that we might be biased, but its still a fun comparison. What are your thoughts on proseccos vs. champagnes?    (hide)

  I'm posting late here.... But if you are down at Chambers Street, you should also pop by Frankly Wines (West Broadway between Warren & Murray). It's a tiny store, but they make up for the size by being very enthusiastic and always carrying a number of super geeky wines.

  Syrah Santa Ynez Valley 2005

  Snoothrank:

  This wine was not interesting. Opened the bottle had a couple glasses and had no desire to finish the bottle. Let sit and tasted on day 2 and 3 and it was was noticeably better, best on the day 2.
