First up was this Chardonnay.
2008 Joel Gott – It was nice.
Crisp & full bodied – I’d recommend it –
Should be able to find it in your local stores.

wine was paired with DELICIOUS SHRIMP SCAMPI

next we paired a MERLOT with Involtini with Broccoli –
Chicken breast stuffed with cheese, spinach, sausage –
grilled to perfection…..mmmmm

our friend AL didn’t like it all as you can see……
I thought I could get him licking the plate –
no such luck this time!

2006 Peju Cabernet was our next tasting.
It’s a Napa Valley – rich, dark colored wine –
…velvety finish..
Cimg1204
the wine was “tight” & needed to breathe –
so wine rep Erika decanted it before serving
Cimg1207
Cab was paired with a Lamb Chop –
Al’s wife Eileen got mine… I’m not a lamb chop gal –
but i heard it was VERY TASTY

PORT was our last tasting.
it has aromas of raisined berry fruit, chocolate,
caramel & orange peel. Good enough to drink by itself.
Compliments dessert nicely

& Chocolate. What’s NOT to like??
