Month: February 2018

Hello All – been a while. I’ve been drinking wine but not blogging. I drink wine then forget to blog. I’m not the first person with this issue. I drank a glass or two of the 2014 Mer Soleil Chardonnay. Mer Soleil represents the sea and the sun. This was a good Chardonnay with notes of butter, apple and melon. This is from the Monterey area. I’d recommend it and you can find it in many stores. You can find it for $20.00 or so. I hope you all have a good rest of the week and weekend.

 

Hello All and Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Patriots or Eagles? Shall we, as Patriots, ride out on horses to alert of the British or fly free on the wings of Eagles? Over the top? Yeah I think so too. I can’t find the passion for this particular Super Bowl match up so made up for it in a fictional reference. I dare say I’m deflated about this game. I did have a great dinner with friends last night and we enjoyed wine of course. We tried the 2015 Alexander Valley Cabernet Franc. It had pepper on the nose and then slight hints of cocoa and vanilla. There was a mineral quality about it. The decision was split on this wine. My sister and I liked it but our friends didn’t like it as much. I thought it was a nice medium-bodied wine without heavy tannins. You can find this wine for around $20.00 per bottle in grocery stores. Everybody has their preferred winner. I hope your preferred winner comes out on top no matter which team it is. Have a great week!
