Red Wines

Belle France Cotes de Bergerac Moelleux 2006



Not a typically white but good chilled for a hot summer day.

Chateau Hostens Picant Rouge 2004



A very French wine. Better for dinner.

Kim Crawford Pinot Noir 2007



A better sipping wine than for dinner, perhaps.

Champy Signature Pinot Noir 2006



Not spectacular but better than it's companion that evening. A dinner wine more than anything.

Dom de LaLande Macon Chaintre 2005



Not spectacular, but better for dinner perhaps.

Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir 2005



In a word: unspectacular. See review for some options.

Messina Hof Private Reserve 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon



For the price ($17) a very tasty wine but a better buy might be its stable mate the Cab Franc.

Kunde Zinfandel 2005



Messina Hof Barrel Reserve 2003 Cabernet Franc



For the price ($10) a very tasty wine and a better buy than its stable mate the Cab Private Reserve.

Fall Creek 2003 Meritus 6/CS



Good, but pricey. Invite only you closest friends to imbibe in this one…

Casa Emma Soloio 2004



Honestly for the price, you might try elsewhere.

Frei Brothers Cabernet 2006



A good sipping wine.

Peregrine Hill 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon



I liked this one better for dinner than sipping. But I’m not highly recommending it, even if the price is in my range.

Petit Bistro 2005 Merlot France



Not spectacular by any means....

Louis Martini Napa Cabernet 2004



In a word, tasty. At least to me.
