ON TO THE WINES!
Tonight we will be tasting the following wines:
2009 Bodegas Avanthia Godello
Every now and then I find a wine that just knocks my socks off. I taste wines endlessly hoping to find rare and beautiful gems. Boy, oh boy this is one of those rare beauties, truly. Focused and assertive, this bold modern white delivers ripe fruit flavors of pear and melon, accented by toasty, minerally and waxy notes. Powerful and harmonious, with the stuffing to age. Drink now through 2012. 40 cases made."Absolutely Delicious. Do not miss this wine, no kidding!
Bottle: $32.99 / Case: $336.50
2008 Paul Hobbs Felino Cabernet Sauivignon
A dense garnet color accompanies an earthy nose, rich with aromas of cassis, mocha ad lavender. The palate is bold and complex, weaving black currant and boysenberry with graphite and sweet tobacco. Ripe tannins and subtle minerality find perfect balance over a lengthy finish - ideal for your holiday dinner parties!
NO BRAINER, PAUL HOBBS CAB FOR $24.99
Bottle: 24.99 / Case: $254.90
2005 Chateau Guiraud Sauternes - $59.99
You will not BELIEVE how utterly delicious this dessert wine is! A full-bodied after dinner drink with loads of cream, vanilla, and intense tropical fruit taste. Long and viscous, with a layered and beautiful spicy finish - Wine Spectator 97 Points. Hard not to drink it now, but best after 2014. Only 8,000 cases made!
