Jean and BevMo - DFen911 - 07-10-2010 So I get to BevMo and remembered Jean talking about a Syrah a while ago. I whip out the phone and send her a text message. I get a phone call back and my phone decides to wig out. Shame on me for texting Jean...I knew I should have just called her..which I did Well Jean, they didn't have any of the recommendations. So here's what I got. From R to L - Tapiz 2008 Malbec, Mirassou 2007 Merlot (I love their pinot noir), Columbia Crest Grand Estate 2006 Shiraz, Powder Keg 2008 Syrah, Zenthesis 2008 Old Vine Zinfandel and a Riserva 2006 Chianti Classico. So when can ya be here to help me taste these? Re: Jean and BevMo - Gourmet_Mom - 07-10-2010 Uh, Denise, isn't that L to R? I sure wish I could come over and help you sample them. Re: Jean and BevMo - cjs - 07-10-2010 Oh God, she's as much of a duffus as me!! The only human in the world who can't text!! Denise, I'm on my way! and I'm going to look for a couple of these. Watch out Bill & Jane, will be right behind me, I'm sure!! Re: Jean and BevMo - HomeCulinarian - 07-10-2010 Where is this party??? Re: Jean and BevMo - DFen911 - 07-10-2010 ROFL!! Yes Daphne it is L to R..and no I hadn't been into the wine yet Gosh I am so bass ackwards hahahaha Re: Jean and BevMo - Gourmet_Mom - 07-11-2010 I insist on a report! I recognize some of those labels, so I'll be anxious know what you think...especially, these three: Tapiz 2008 Malbec (still haven't found a Malbec...must visit a wine shop Monday and check on this AND some sake, which continues to elude me), Mirassou 2007 Merlot, and Riserva 2006 Chianti Classico. Re: Jean and BevMo - Old Bay - 07-11-2010 I too have had the Mirassou Pinot--delicious-Chilis serves it by the glass down here--and I've had the Chianti on the end --really a value--good for the money!! Can I come too? Re: Jean and BevMo - DFen911 - 07-11-2010 Bill yes I have bought the Mirassou Pinot Noir by the case because we so enjoyed it. I must say that the last 4 years I have really found a Pinot Noir from CA that I have really liked. The only ones I really seem to like are from Oregon. Kings Estate is one I really love as well as Tori. Daphne when I open one of these wines I will make notes of what I think and compare them with the descriptions. I'm very hopeful. Re: Jean and BevMo - Old Bay - 07-11-2010 Denise--try Willamette Valley, Oregon Pinot Noir--Firesteed, Domaine Drouhan, Raptor Ridge, Argyle, and many more--very Burgundian--same latitude, proximity to ocean, altitude--terrior, terrior, terrior!!! Re: Jean and BevMo - cjs - 07-11-2010 I'll certainly vote for Oregon Pinots - they do a wonderful job. And their Tempranillos http://www.abacela.com/Wines/index.htm
