Paso a Paso

• June 2013

  With summer upon us the consumption of Sauvignon Blanc is about to explode! Of the four giants of the wine world, which includes Cabernet, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, no wine is as seasonal as little old Sauvy. It’s light, crisp character just screams ‘drink me this summer’, and with so many other options appearing on retailers s... Read More

  Jennifer,  Thanks for your report!  I didn't chime in earlier because my perfect pairing for any Lobster would be Benadryl and epinephrine (I am allergic to shellfish). But, in looking at your recipe you posted, I would have to agree most with EMark... I would have suggested a white rhone blend from Central coast.... The one that comes to mind i... Read More

  I'm looking forward to trying that bottle of Imagery you gave me, Emark.  I think the profile you cited--a little opening sweetness, low tannins--is part Lagrein, part Paso Robles heat.  It's never a big tannin wine, so the knock is it can't age, although I've had rosato made from it that was five years old and doing fine.  It can have more or l...

  Sanders Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Cassis, blackberry and pepper on the nose. Refined tannins with flavors of blackberry, currant and spicy pepper notes. Comes across a tad pruny. Ripe, Paso Robles style. Plum and black fruit. Not a fan of any cab that gets overripe. 81-82 pts. Read More

  Hi Guys:In my ongoing saga of trying to learn how to cook, I'm planning on giving lobster thermidor a whirl soon. I'd like to pair it with 2-3 wines, mostly as a pairing experiment to see which works best. Any ideas? I was thinking I could potentially combine the dinner with the vintage VS NV champagne combo I've been meaning to do...other ideas... Read More

  Venteux Vineyards Syrah Tache le Verre Alisos Canyon 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Fantastic Paso Robles Syrah! Great balance and nice acidity with a lot of dark berry, chocolate, tobacco notes. Great mouth feel, medium tannins and a great finish. Not overly jammy but spicy with a lot of body. Love this syrah! Read More

  Like Zinfandel, Petite Sirah is primarily a California wine: the Golden State’s long, sunny growing seasons are necessary to ripen Petite Sirah’s substantial tannins and reveal its rich blackberry flavors. The wine’s structure, fruit and inky color make it an excellent blending partner for Zinfandel, red Rhône varieties and even Cabernet Sauvign... Read More

  Carnivores and grillers, a few reasons to love Syrah: it’s a fantastic wine for pairing with any roasted meats, especially red meats like beef and lamb, as well as wild game. It is often peppery and sometimes smoky, with a roasted fruit and/or roasted meat flavor profile that makes it a fine accompaniment to anything barbecued or grilled (even, ... Read More
