2006 Eric Kent Wine Cellars Syrah Dry Stack Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Bennett Valley (11/21/2009)
Decanted two hours, enjoyed with a pairing of grilled kielbasa on pumpernickel with mustard and carmelized onions. Very floral nose. Deep, rich, vibrant fruits. The smokiness of the wine really brought out the flavors of the kielbasa. -
2003 Réserve de la Comtesse - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac (11/21/2009)
Popped, left open for 3 hours, enjoyed with a pairing of sliders; one topped with swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms, the other with cheddar and bacon. Wonderfully vibrant nose of barnyard, tobacco and cedar. Smooth, satisfying, blue fruits, herbs, coffee. A very nice bottle of wine, and at $50 for a magnum, wonderful QPR.
