LOOKING @ Tasting out TODAY some of the TABLAS CREEK dry California red from Paso Robles that we have here and that is showing really well, may also taste out some of the CONO SUR Vision Pinot Noir from Chile, and maybe some of the South African WARWICK dry red Stellenbosch ... I have a bottle of the 2011 Patelin de Tablas dry red Paso Robles blend of 52% Syrah, 29% Grenache, 18% Mourvedre and 1% Counoise , $24.99, 13.7% alcohol by volume! Wow, this will be good, this will be warming, this will be comforting with the INTENSE cold air racing through Washington D.C. , Northwest, uncaring, unapologetic, ... warm up here with us, come on from the cold, let us give you all some shelter from the COLD!

The red from TABLAS CREEK, the Patelin de Tablas 2011 red from TABLAS CREEK, $24.99 from Paso Robles that's a blend of the Rhone grape varietals gets a HUGE - HUMONGOUS " Shout Out " from me because it is so fresh, so bright, so fruit-driven, and defies gravity as it is perhaps the lightest on my palate, like the tread of a newborn baby's bare feet on my palate. I LOVED that, I enjoyed and noticed that immediately and it made me smile like I rarely smile when I try California wine. I thought suddenly : wow, impressive, can this be?!? Did they, do they, does someone from California get it that you don't have to come at our palates with sledge hammers, and columns of a liquid that is almost like a solid, a SOLID WALL that does not permit us entrance into the flavors inside? I want to be able to get inside the wine I drink, to become a part of it through my palate, no matter what it offers, to feel like I have access into it and am not stopped at it's gates and hit repeatedly over the head as I try and gain a foot-hold, a place, a relationship with it. SO : Bravo TABLAS CREEK for this airy and fruit-driven, balanced dry red that will be great for spring and summer drinking. Michel Dumas and I are thrilled to have it to offer to you. Cheers, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn 1/5/14 Happy New Year 2014! The Patelin 2011 de Tablas is the wine, $24.99!
