Chalone Pinot Noir

Whether or not, Forbes ranks Chalone Vineyards highly in the top 25 American Pinot Noirs, I enjoyed this bottle.

The Big Red Monster

Although initially intrigued with the label, not impressed with this table wine.

Georges Dubceuf 2004 Pinot Noir

It's Easter Sunday and I wake up to a lovely egg white, bacon and english muffin breakfast. I'm flipping through the channels. Why not embrace the grape? It's fruity, smooth and balanced. After the second glass (Suzanna and I had 2 each) I felt so sorry there was no more left. I don't know how much this was, but I could drink this everyday. Thanks, E!

Hacienda 2005 Pinot Noir

Unfortunately, I lost my notes on this Pinot Noir. It is cheap.

Bodega Norton 2005 Malbec

This does not get a fair chance because we needed something to go down with dinner.

[4/7/07, 1:30pm] We give it a second chance. After buying suits for my father, brother and yours truly, we come home to eat our leftover penne and sausage, mushrooms and onions in marinara. The initial sips are tough, but this spicy wine goes well with each bite of sausage.

Danzante 2004 Chianti

It's a crappy week, so Suzanna and I need to medicate. I smell cherries. It has a sharp bite which I don't like. Unfortunately it will never have the opportunity to breathe as we will finish this before cook dinner.
