94's Blog

It's been a light tasting week. I've been a little too busy for the rep's to catch me, so I have only tried 28 different wines so far and honestly, I haven't found much I thought you guys couldn't live without. Such is life! That's not to say I drank NO good wine... :)

Coming soon:

Mckinlay Pinot Noir - I sampled their "basic model". A nice, little Pinot from Parrot Mountain vineyard at a great price. $38. No, I'm not kidding. I have also requested samples of their upper level labels. Watch for updates.

1994 Kopke Colehita - Great balance! coffee, dried cherry, milk chocolate, Brazilnut and cashew.
There was a most humorous debate concerning what nuts were in this. Of course, I won...

Kopke Colehita 1985 Vintage tawny - Such beautiful fresh fruit at the core. Balance is amazing. This one is going to go with so many different flavors. I was fascinated by it.

Kopke 2005 Vintage Port - Molasses nose, thick mouth feel, molasses notes continue on the finish. You might think, oh, molasses, I dunno. Trust me, this isn't the flavor in that dusty bottle in the back of your cupboard. This is the beautiful flavors of a molasses purchased from a Puerto Rican Rum maker. Haven't ever tried them? Do.
