2006 Dierberg Santa Maria Pinot Noir. After 30 minutes, its showing very well.

I am drinking this

from the 2002 vintage. Just re-posted a “note” recently. Drinking solo, so I’ll just leave it at this bottle. [whistle2.gif]

2006 Louis Martini Sonoma Cab. Damn fine QPR. Thanks for the recs everyone.

24

An old friend came over for dinner (chicken breast baked at 450 degrees w panko crust and dijon mustard), sauteed spinach with bacon and garlic, and brown rice with mushrooms/white wine. Terrific. I brine the chicken breast with salt water, garlic and chili powder…by far the most tender moist chicken breast!

The wine: 2004 Peay “Las Brumas” Syrah and 2005 Feraud Brunel CdR. Both terrific.

25

Some more of that Martini Cab.

26

We just finished a 2001 Ridge Grenache (Grenache, Petite Sirah, Zin) with some dry sausage and cheese watching TiVo’d shows after our lunch at Maria’s.

I was late on this. WineX was out when I dropped by tonight. Picked up a Pepiere Muscadet and a 2007 St Cosme Cotes du Rhone. Note to be posted tomorrow. [cheers.gif]

Red Barn Coffe Roasters Sumatra right now. (also love the Celebes).

31

I worked late last night and came home to grill up a NY Strip and popped a 2000 Argiano Solengo in a whim.

I was pleasantly surprised by it since my previous experiences with this have been underwhelming/dissapointing.

The wine has started to mellow a bit showing some tar and earth and lengthy finish.

32

NO, not Mollydooker…actual cough syrup! [cray.gif]
