Wine Notes
2004 Domaine de L'Ameillard, Vin Pays D'Orange - Light, bright, tart, but very typical of a Vin Pays. I liked it probably because it was so typical, yet this style is likely one of the reasons there is a lake of wine in France. Definitely not the gout Americain or the gout Parker.
2004 Clayhouse Cabernet Sauvignon - Ca marche, it works, a good working horse cab that goes well with food even if not particularly exciting.
2005 Clayhouse Sauvignon Blanc - Quintessential sauvignon blanc with a straw, grassy nose, and strong grapefruit flavors. Light, crisp and pretty delicate. A really good example of the varietal, even if not particularly to my taste.
Seguras Viudas - Easy, soft, bubbly - no sharp edges - perfect for big events. Good Thanksgiving wine.
2005 Aquila D'Oro Chianti - "Italian Four Buck Chuck" - surprisingly drinkable, they must have added some Merlot to the Sangiovese to soften this wine. With good fruit and balance a great every day Chianti to have with pasta and pizza ( about $4 at Trader Joe's).
