We def should go and take a picnic. We went over the summer. Great spot and the wine is actually really good. He does it just for fun. It's just over the bay bridge.

Traditions Columbia Valley Merlot 2010

The 2008 Traditions Merlot features grapes from a number of our estate vineyards in Eastern Washington's Wahluke Slope. Established in 2006, the Wahluke Slope is a sub-region within the Columbia Valley appellation. Located midway between Seattle and Spokane it is bordered by the Columbia River to the southwest and Hanford Reach National Monument to the east. The climate here is warm enough during the day to fully ripen grapes, yet cool enough at night to ensure bright acids and firm tannins. The 2008 Traditions Merlot is elegant, balanced and approachable. The nose is bright and forward with cherries, berries and plums wrapped in crème brulée and brown sugar. The flavors are a seamless blend of fruit, oak and acidity. Blend: 78% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec & 1% Barbera. — 11 years ago

Really easy drinking. Had this one at my bachlorette winery tour day. It was awesome. So great this morning in mimosas! Only one bottle left, sad that I don't live closer to this winery, they had many tasty ones! — 8 years ago

Le Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend

Grower Champagne from the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne. This is the most north eastern region of Champagne where the predominate grape is Pinot Noir.
Back to the wine:

88% Chard
12% Noir

Peach, sweet spice, rich texture, ginger

This wine is from one of four villages in this region that grows mostly Chardonnay.
It's the only Demi-sec in the shop for those that want their bubbles a little sweeter. Gorgeous and incredibly versatile with lots of food, including spicy.

Rosé Biscaya Rosé Blend 2014

Heidi Schrock 2014 Rosé Biscaya, Burgenland | 12% | From the warm continental (what they call Pannonian) climate of Neusiedlersee-Huggeland in Burgenland –Austria’s eastern most wine region pressed against the Hungarian frontier, this vintage seems to have dropped the St Laurent of previous vintages and is made of 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Pinot Noir although Heidi admits to using eight varieties in all –each in supporting roles. It’s a beautiful rosy red with a fragrant headful of umeboshi pickled plums of Japan for their tension of salty tart fruit and their fragrant shiso perilla leaf lift, but other fruit wafts up bright and fresh. Red currants and white cherries all carry over as well onto the palate –a scrumptious sip of tang and texture, brine and savor –for which it bears that saltwater taffy charm that I love about this rosé –in a watering-at-the-corners-of-the-mouth sort of way. It’s appealing in a way I’d never known before it –like feelings of fervor among inchoate lovers before which everything seemed so certain and after which the world seemed wide. Prepare yourself for a first kiss where red fruit orchards meet the sea. Food? Who needs food? …if I were to dream up a dish for this specifically it might involve a crispy rendered duck breast with a compote of those gamey black currants but you name it: pork chops, schnitzel, tempura, or citrus poached fish of the herring family.

I believe the bulk of this was snapped up by Bachelor Farmer on the restaurant side of things and Solo Vino among the mindful rosé loving bottle shops. I do hope you have a crack at it -it's unlike anything I've tried and deliciously all its own.

Alto Adige - Südtirol Pinot Grigio 2013

I am so happy to be trying this Pinot Grigio from north eastern Italy, Alto Adige. I have read a few articles on this region and my friend Erik had been taking it up lately so I had to jump in with both feet. The aromas are wonderful with peach, pear, melon, cotton candy, and bubble gum. The palate is very smooth with a rich round mouthfeel and the full fruit of peach and pear. There is a bright & lively acidity and a touch of chalky minerality on the backend. This is at a great QPR $16.79 — 10 years ago

Man, we I be impressed if the Delectable "algorithm" detects this one. Picked up a case on my wine journeys through Eastern Europe. Young kid (Tomas Tomac) from 45 min outside Zagreb who spent a couple of harvests w Jasko Graver. 50% Chard, 50% local varieties from 70 yo vines. This is his amphora effort. Developing damn nicely. — 11 years ago
