They have an amazing Wine Tasting Club and talk about Friends! Have you checked out Tidingsmag.com lately? Their site not only has great wine reviews, but looks great as well. They have an amazing Wine Tasting Club and talk about champagne to go with books, Carmen wines, merlot winefrom napa valley, men cooking in the kitchen, great food to have with great wines, etc. As far as I am concerned, I love Shiraz/Syrah, because this interesting and attractively developed dark plum bouquet is overlaid with notes of minty green herb, earthy mineral and spice.
Lightly sweet red plum and red currant flavors on mid palate shift into seamlessly integrated fruit, spice and deft oak on the finish. The wines from the southern (which blend with Syrah) and northern (where Syrah is king) Rhône Valley have been the only things close to cool coming out of France in my recent memory. On the whiter side, I love Riesling. What I also really appreciate are the drier versions from the likes of New Zealand, Australia and Canada, which are super food-friendly while also offering more than enough personality to stand alone.
Another favorite of mine is Viognier. A fragrant, spicy berry that has transcended its French homeland to become a major player across the New World, both on its own and in unique blends with both white and red grapes. Have a nice day. to go with books, Carmen wines, merlot wine from napa valley, men cooking in the kitchen, great food to have with great wines, etc. As far as I am concerned, I love Shiraz/Syrah, because this interesting and attractively developed dark plum bouquet is overlaid with notes of minty green herb, earthy mineral and spice.
