Returning after the wine festival weekend on saturday evening. A bit of a down year compared to the past, but we've found possibly one or two gems. Now i just have to remember where i stashed my notes...

I'm drinking a 2005 New Zealand sauvignon blanc from Jackson Estate. It's very dry with good helping of zingy tartness. Grapefruit up front with strong herbal notes dancing around it and a very, very long finish.

I was into whites last week. I'm back to reds now. I'm enjoying a Rickard's Red. Have you heard of it?

A friend brought over one of his wine club bottles. They send him their latest releases. Man it was good.
Mount Veeder Winery
2003 reserve
Napa Valley
Red Wine
14.5%
Heavy body blend. More cab than anything, but very powerful berry on the nose. Dark in color, almost like old Bordeaux, which is what its description on the bottle says it is a blend of.
“Aromas of black fruit and tobacco intertwine with complex coffee, plum and vanilla flavors.” – Description on the bottle, and quite accurate.
I think they are about $50 a bottle now as a pre release, but will be in the $80’s pretty soon. Get a case now before they bump the price up. I liked it enough to order a case of 12 bottles. It’s definitely on my top five list.

I’m not going anywhere, so come on up. Fishing is ramping up if you’re into that. Halibut, cod, ling cod, snapper. In July the Silvers will be running. I could probably talk my buddy into take a group out. He loves showing off his boat. He had Munson build him a custom boat… 48’ aluminum jet boat with two 20” jets and 1300 hp. http://www.munsonboats.com/3240packcatphotos.html it’s about half way down, it’s called the Journey. I’ve offered before, but no one takes me up on it.
