Holiday Extravaganza
2009 December 11
Tonight is my wine club’s 4th Annual Holiday Extravaganza so I decided to look back to see what I had to say about the 2008 wines. NOTHING! I wrote nothing. How can this be? The last time I wrote about the December wines was in 2007, that night we compared expensive wines to the more affordable wines.
Since I didn’t document last years wines at all, I decided to PRE-document this years selection. So, if you are attending wine club tonight I guess this is a heads-up.
Here are a few facts about what was selected:
- Number of bottles: 8
- Whites: 4
- Reds: 4
- Continents represented: 3
- Countries represented: 5
- California: 3
- Italy: 1
- Washington: 1
- Austria: 1
- France: 1
- Argentina: 1
- Most economical (that’s a fancy way to say lowest price): $28.99
- Biggest splurge: $69.99
Here’s what is being served tonight:
- Gaston Chiquet Champagne
- Buty Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle, 2008
- Setzer Riesling, 2007
- Catena Alta Chardonnay, 2006
- Corino Barolo, 2003
- Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006
- Talley Estate Pinot Noir, Arroyo Grande Valley, 2005
- Howell Mountain Vineyard Beatty Ranch Zinfandel, 2005
All of the wine were chosen by Ben at Waterford Wine Co., who we rely on each December. Thank you Ben!
