Greg Drinks: 2006 Sainte-Croix Vin de Pays D'oc
http://gregdrinks.blogspot.com/2009/03/2006-sainte-croix-vin-de-pays-doc.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. 2006 Sainte-Croix Vin de Pays D'oc. This wine is 50% syrah and 50% merlot. The nose is big with black fruits and hints of fennel and anise. On the palate it is a little thin with a very short finish. It has a nice acidity that attacks the palate in a pleasant way. Flavors of black cherries, blackberries and brambleberries hit you right up front. A nice 87 point effort for only $5! Vin de pays doc. Im glad you liked it as much as I did. Thanks for your tasting notes and video!

Greg Drinks: April 2008
http://gregdrinks.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. I tasted another red wine from the Dark Continent. The 2005 Neil Ellis Sincerely Shiraz. I think I liked the pinotage I had the other night better, but it was all right. It had a gorgeous dark purple color. I really liked the nose on this one. It was chock full of blueberries! Thursday, April 24, 2008. Sunday, April 20, 2008. Saturday, April 19, 2008.

Greg Drinks: 2004 Three Miners Pinot Noir
http://gregdrinks.blogspot.com/2009/03/2004-three-miners-pinot-noir.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. 2004 Three Miners Pinot Noir. I recently tasted a very nice pinot noir from New Zealand. The 2004 Three Miners pinot noir impressed me and I would say it's about a 90-91 point wine. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm an organic chemist by trade.

Greg Drinks: February 2008
http://gregdrinks.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 18, 2008. Recently I had the great fortune to taste some Turkish wines from the Turasan winery in Cappadocia. My dear friends carried them back from Turkey and served them last weekend with a Turkish feast (thank you guys). It was a very memorable evening and the wines were quite impressive.

Greg Drinks: April 2009
http://gregdrinks.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. I tasted the 2004 La Millière Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the Rhone Valley. A complex wine with aromas of red currant and strawberry with some peat. The flavors of red fruits comes through right away with red cherries on the mid palate. This wine has a nice focussed acidity that goes well with the fruit. Rated 92 pts by Steve Tanzer and I agree with that. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Red River Valley Chapter of the American Wine Society. Good Wine under $20.

Greg Drinks: June 2008
http://gregdrinks.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Monday, June 9, 2008. Sunday, June 8, 2008. I don't often drink grand crus but this one came as a good deal from Wine Library. For $20 I think I got a good bargain. This was a very nice wine. As you can see from the back label, it is composed of 80% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon, and 10% cabernet franc; a classical Bordeaux blend if I've ever seen one. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Greg Drinks: September 2008
http://gregdrinks.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 21, 2008. I ordered this 2005 Bordeaux from Wine Library. Way back in January as a presale. It was supposed to come in some time last June but it didn't arrive until just yesterday. I've been dying to taste it. Some of the tasting notes on cellartracker for this wine are mixed. One guy even gives it 74 points because it has tannins! Not sure what to think of that review. Well, tonight I opened a bottle and I'll give you my opinion. Palate: Solid firm tannins that are gripping! On the pa...
