SUNDAY WAS GLORIOUS for so many of us I am sure. I was outside raking and
bagging leaves in my shorts. I felt great and happy to be outside with working
hard to do a job that would be soon erased with more leaves falling.
Sure enough this morning as I looked outside much of my hard work was gone and
only the large bags filled with leaves told the story of the work already
accomplished.
I will rake and bag more tomorrow morning!

both excellent. Everyone likes them and I must say that the Shooting Star
Sauvignon and the STEELE Pacini old-vines Zinfandel that Jed owns works so well
with or just before a meal.

for ", " relax and enjoy, smile, feel joy and absolute harmony, faith,

TWO TASTED By Andrew Stover here:
1) CHATEAU GRAND TRAVERSE Gamay Noir Old Mission Peninsula 2011 dry red,
$18.99, 12.5% alcohol by volume, www.cgtwines.com, from Traverse City, Michigan,
USA ) is like a really nice cru beaujolais and nice to enjoy this Thanksgiving.
Medium-to-light bodied, bright, lively, fresh, energetic and so versatile with
many foods and flavors. Cheers.
2) " Mangus " ARIZONA STRONGHOLD dry red blend, a 2011 ( $28.99 a bottle,
14.5% alcohol by volume, www.Azstronghold.com , from Cochise County, Arizona )
is a delightfully well-balanced medium-to-lighter-bodied red of 69% Sangiovese.
13% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It's
a beauty! Perfect for the Turkey Bird of T-Giving!
FROM BRAZIL : Great For The Bird :
1) DA'DIVAS 2010 Chardonnay from Serra Gaucha, Brazil from LIDIO CARRARO (
$16.99, 13% alcohol by volume, www.lidiocarraro.com ) has great focus, firm
flesh flavors and character and body. It's the full package and will make a
really nice wine to enjoy during the holiday season. Just sold a case and had to
get some more for the customer as for our shelf. Also bought more of the Merlot
( $15.99, 12.5% alcohol by volume, ) that they are pouring by the glass down our
block here at PULPO is it? I think so? It's also got great structure and body,
character and another great food choice with again low alcohols. Made in the
European style by 4th generation Italians from the Veneto region. BOTH are
recommended. PULPO is on a roll, doing a great job with general manager Dave
Hansen on board now. Cheers.
SAKE :
1) Niguri Imported YAEGAKI NIGORI , $18.99, 16% alcohol by volume, 720ml
bottle, : " Well balanced silky and creamy texture is complemented by a touch
of sweetness, yet enough acidity maintains it's refreshing finish. Keep
refrigerated to maintain its original taste after opening. Shake well before
serving. "
UPDATES :
1) OUR SATURDAY TASTING :
a) Ron Miller of the DISTILLERY LANE CIDERWORKS in Jefferson, Maryland,
was a HUGE SUCCESS and we have lots of them to sell you including the " new ".
it was just bottled that morning Ron tells us,
1)the Celebration Hard Cider with some cranberry juice added, $19.99,
everybody loved it - so fresh and bright and so easy to enjoy all by itself,
with a slight salmon or peach color. Dry.
2) DCL'S " Kingston Black " Hard Cider, $11.99, bone-dry like a flavorful
Pouilly-Fume - tasty, crisp, tart, tangy, razor-sharp, needs a meal to soften it
up, tenderize it some ... lovely, lovely price. Thanks for the great tasting
Ron!
b) I poured the EASTON 2012 Amador County Zinfandel, $20.99, 14.5% alcohol,
California, go to : www.eastonwines.com ) : smooth, bright, fruit up-front, no
edge, medium-bodied, a delight to sip on it's own as well as to enjoy even with
turkey as it is not heavy at all, elegant and refined, polished and bright.
Cheers!
2 ) Our Friday Tasting with Fernando of Peru with Tradewinds Specialty
Imports poured :
a) 2010 Temperamento 100% Bobal indigenous red grape, $17.99, 13.5%
alcohol by volume, this Bobal variety from Spain's Utiel Requena region that is
softer fruit-forward, bright and toasty-roasted berry flavored, medium-bodied, a
real treat : best with food like white meats and things marinated and grilled!
b) 100% Garnacha Tintorera or Allicante Bouschet grapes from PASAMONTE,
this 2010 Spanish red from Valencia is leaner, a bit meaner, more muscle and
firmness, less roundness, more of a food wine with great balance and accents of
pepper and spice. It really does need a meal. What fun, $18.99, 14% alcohol by
volume, gracias Fernando!
WEEK'S TASTINGS :
