  Hard to envision Italian bankers as market leaders, but it looks like Wall St. ... the higher-than-the-norm anomaly for Sonoma pinot noir is for grapes from The True, which would make growers there the only ones happy these days.

Read moreHard to envision Italian bankers as market leaders, but it looks like Wall St. ... the higher-than-the-norm anomaly for Sonoma pinot noir is for grapes from The True, which would make growers there the only ones happy these days. And I wonder if the up-to-25% allowed in California for non-CA grapes, while retaining a made-in-CA labeling, means that some from the glut of sauvignon blanc grapes in New Zealand will find their way into Mendocino or Napa or Sonoma SB bottles??? Although its larger producers may be importing grapes these days, California as a whole is a huge, huge, huge producer. Until I read this press release about one of Schwarzenneger's attempts to help promote CA's wine business in the current economy (and thus, of course, generate more tax money for his bankrupt government), I hadn't realized that the state produces 90% of all wine in the US, and is the fourth largest wine producer in the world (after, I'm guessing, Italy, France and Australia): http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20090824005247&newsLang=e    (hide)

  Had a chance to taste this again recently (October 2009) and was very impressed. Delicious fruit up front (dark cherries and a little plum) with subtle yet firm tannin on the finish. Balance was excellent and it drank well over two days. Can be hard to find but worth the effort.
