What's in your glass tonight?

[Boatboy24]

This was pretty plain at first, though it had nice tannin, mouthfeel and finish. After about 30 minutes, a little fruit is showing, but just a touch. A nice wine, that will go well with my ribeye tonight without overpowering it. I'd say this is age worthy for at least a few years.

2014 Meiomi Pinot Noir

Scents of cranberry sauce and spices. Fruit forward flavors with tangy strawberries, pomegranate, sour cherry following up with a smokey finish. The wine is smooth and quite tasty.

What no rubber? The new WMT drinking game is every time you give a wine tasting note and say the word rubber we all have to drink a glass of wine!

It is a very readily available, but perfect Thanksgiving wine. Especially if you do your turkey on a grill or smoker.

Now that I really think about. You're absolutely right. This is a great Thanksgiving wine. While it's not really sweet, it's not dry either. The fruitiness and the cranberry makes it a no-brainer for Thanksgiving!

Maybe I will pick up a bottle or two for Thanksgiving this year.

I snagged quite a few bottles of this back in 2010 and it was an incredible value plus there is that bottle that they talk about in the review. I swear it weighs 5lbs.......

Had a little of the LR Sauvignon Blanc Rose from this afternoon's bottling, then cracked a LR Shiraz-Viognier to go with the baby backs.

Tonight my wife and I are having a bottle of Apple Cranberry that we just back sweetened today. The rest of it has done extra sugar added to it. I think given a bit of time this will be a really tasty great. It isn't bad, yet, just young.

Popped a couple corks tonight. Had a 2103 Columbia Crest Reserve Chardonay which was not MLF'ed and aged Sur Lie for 15mo in french oak. Nice notes of warm apple, spices of cinnamon and clove, a little pear and of course vanilla. Absolutely no trace of rubber..... Really nice bottle of wine.


The warm up wine was a really nice inexpensive bottle of French Rose' from Provence (Bieler Pe're & Fils) that is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cab Sauv and Cinsault. This wine has a connection to WA State as the wine maker is one of Charles and Charles fame (Charles Bieler). It was very good, beautiful salmon color, a little light on acid but lovely notes of lavender, rosemary, rose petal, citrus, wild raspberry and tart cherry. Not bad at all for $10.99
