The Eclectic Dilettante: Venta Mazzaron 2006
http://eclectic-dilettante.blogspot.com/2011/05/venta-mazzaron-2006.html
Wine, Travel and Stuff. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Spain, Tierra Delvino de Zamora. Everyone I serve this to, loves this wine. It offers up notes of caramel, tobacco, licorice, espresso, spice and loads of succulent black fruit. The Mazzaron is full and lush in the mouth with undertones of vanilla. Great balance and structure, it works equally well with dinner or as a sipper. Rosemary lamb, grilled ribs marinated in looing sauce, pungent cheeses. 13 Buy this one again and again. Small Town, New York. 05/03...

The Hopeful Muser: July 2013
http://hopefulmuser.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. The sky had been an infinite circle of blue just a brief time ago. Then titanic clouds had billowed into the blue, a brilliant white, then darkening as they approached. As Alyami ducked his head below the door lintel a cataclysmic boom shook the heavens and the earth. As he closed the heavy, wooden door behind him fat droplets began to furiously pummel the dust outside. Posted by Dan Binmore. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. At the pier we discovered that there was no official ferry but ...

The Eclectic Dilettante: About Wine Grading
http://eclectic-dilettante.blogspot.com/p/about-wine-grading.html
Wine, Travel and Stuff. Since the number system seems to be inconsistent for us, I'm going to start using the old fashioned school system. A, B, C, D and F. I'm not going back and re-rating all those wines previously blogged, that would be too much like work. Going forward though, it's the new system. I hope everyone likes the new letter grades as much as we do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wine-Red Blends Interesting Grape Combinations. Small Town, New York.

The Eclectic Dilettante: Firesteed Pinot Noir 2006
http://eclectic-dilettante.blogspot.com/2008/08/firesteed-pinot-noir-2006.html
Wine, Travel and Stuff. Saturday, August 16, 2008. Firesteed Pinot Noir 2006. The nose is loaded with aromas of vanilla, raspberry and dark chocolate. The attack is sweet, the mid is dry and the lingering finish is sweet. This wine has flavors of red fruits, dark chocolate, orchid flowers, raspberry and roasted coffee beans. Delicate and surprisingly rich. Black said, "this is the pinot that guy was searching for in the movie Sideways.". Firesteed on the Web. That's a tasty wine right thar. 05/17/09 - 05...

The Hopeful Muser: June 2014
http://hopefulmuser.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. Scene one. A hallway. Willis, an unremarkable young man, enters from stage left, peering anxiously over his shoulder. He hears women's voices from off stage left. With a look of panic he scampers to exit stage right. Enter five women, Jo, Leslie, Emily, Abigail, and Kathy, drunk, passing a bottle half full of a virulently pink liquid. Where's he got to then? I don't know, do I? I just saw some lad sneak off through that door we just come through.". Well, he ain't here, is he? Scene...

The Hopeful Muser: Kicking Chihuahuas
http://hopefulmuser.blogspot.com/2014/08/kicking-chihuahuas.html
Sunday, August 10, 2014. I would like to start off this post with the important fact that even while I have had the opportunity and motive to kick a chihuahua, I have not done so. I do not intend to kick a chihuahua in the future. I imagined making sure I kept my head down, and over the chihuahua, with a good extension and hip rotation balanced by my left arm's extension and rotation. I imagined the crunching, flopping failure of the structural integrity of the chihuahua. Chihuahuas have no good quality.

The Eclectic Dilettante: Crios de Susana Balbo 2007
http://eclectic-dilettante.blogspot.com/2009/03/crios-de-susana-balbo-2007.html
Wine, Travel and Stuff. Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Crios de Susana Balbo 2007. The nose has enticing aromas of autumn leaves, spice box and black fruits. This wine is one Cool Cat with slinky flavors of spice, black raspberry, black cherry, mulberry, cedar and a hint of old fashioned black licorice. The finish is oh, so smooth. We loved it. Decanting. Recommended for 30 minutes. Dang, "Black" gave this a 92? Sorry I missed it! March 3, 2009 at 9:10 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Small Town, New York.
