Life is full of surprises. Here it is July 6, and I do believe summer may have arrived--finally! And just in the knick of time as I have some fantastic whites and rose' wines to share with friends and family. Poured a lovely Topel Sauvignon Blanc recently. I stumbled on Topel shortly after they opened their tasting room off the town square in Healdsburg, CA on my trip there last October. They were featuring chardonnay, meritage, cab sauv, and this lovely, crisp Sauv Blanc. It was so good when I got it home, I called and had another case shipped to me. And it was 50% off at the time! I love those kind of deals.
Yesterday, we cooked a fantastic tri-tip on our Traeger grill. Marinated the meat for 12 hours and then slow cooked it until it was perfectly tender and amazingly flavorful. Add a spicy Syrah and you have a perfect meal. This quarter's Cellar Select wine members will have a chance to sample a new label - Christopher Michael. His 2007 Paso Robles Syrah hit the mark perfectly and for under $15!
Speaking of Cellar Select, I am having a ball! Every quarter I get to make wine selections to meet and greet the palate of my club members. July is the first delivery, and I have some special wine to present. Soave Classico, JK Carrier Provacateur Pinot Noir, Abacela Vinter's Blend, to name a few. Just give me a call or email me and I'll get you details for the next quarter.
Keep your eye out for my weekly blog. Now that I'm tasting and enjoying wine again, I have much to share. Salud!
