One person drinking a bottle of wine is difficult for me. It takes me about a week. Good thing I have a nice vacuum pump.
This week’s wine was chosen because of its screw top (I didn’t feel like uncorking the other bottle of Merlot that Ben bought me).
2008 Gotham Cabernet Sauvignon
The color is very dark. Fruit flavor. I like it! No bitter aftertaste or weird woody/plastic-y complexity. I would buy this Australian wine again.
Some photos of the squash dish described in the previous post. Paired with a 2008 Monte Oton garnache wine.
At first, I didn’t like this wine, but after 3 days of drinking it, it’s starting to grow on me. It’s certainly better than any of the wines I tasted at the Paumanok Vineyards in Long Island. But you can’t blame the micro-winery–they are a small family-run business and aren’t competing against a conglomeration.
