A chat with Robert Mondavi

So, I didn't chat with Robert, but a friend. Yes, we finished the bottle, and it was a very good day in Louisville's Bardstown Road.

This wine has great color, but I only briefly glanced at it in the setting sunlight. It seems like most of the wine I drink is during the twilight hours - maybe someday I'll figure this one out. It's initially got a plumish taste, then it finishes off with a smokey cherry.

Robert Mondavi is a solid wine, and you can't go wrong unless you buy it by the glass rather than by the bottle. :)

All white in Indiana, all right? / White wine party

I went to my first all white, white wine party. Every one brought two bottles of their favorite white wine, then we blind bottled one of the two, and the winners got the unopened bottles. It was such a good time. Makes me thinking of doing this with Bourbon.

Kim Crawford came in first, then Amplus and rounding up third was Cupcake (my personal favorite of the show).

Each couple got a folder with a scorecard and glass markers. As the night grew dark and each bottle was opened, we all came to stark realizations - we all liked white wine.
