2007 Swedish Hill Vinyard Viking Red

A light and sweeping wine that's perfect with home-made bread. The two friendly Pomeranians on the label (Mickey and Turk) invite the drinker to a warm, satisfying experience even in the lee of any "Intense Living", like, for instance, a NYC wedding! From the mid-town Muse Hotel to the Down Town Association club, this wine stayed on the leash, well mannered and proud. A very small release of only a few cases, you'll find this scandinavian from Swedish Hill improves with age. Our very best to the Anthony-Estling union!

2002 Jacob's Creek Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Awwwwk! Following the very tough act of 2003 KVW Pinotage, ol' Jacob was struggling just a bit. A sound, reliable choice and only slightly cuttish in comparison with the KV--just like a small speed bump in the back of the mind. Johann Gramp would not have been too upset though, the JCRCS brought us around Grand Canyon, State of Washington, Vancouver Island, cruise to Alaska expedition planning.

2003 KWV Pinotage

This "Wine of the Western Cape" was smooth as silk. Nestled right alongside a superb roast and perched there in perfect harmony. Veeerrry nice. Bottle No. 982070 will long go down as the progenitor of deep plotting and scheming as ideas for the "Pinguins" once again arose to the tune of "We Will Rock You". An inspirational vino, the KWV sailed us along and disappeared just as quickly. Hail Sud Africa!

2005 Antica Corte Pinot Grigio

THIS is what you want to drink with shrimp cocktails. Alfio Moriconi strikes again. Lots of flavor running amok. 'Wakened the crustacean.
