http://vinespot.blogspot.com [Vinespot.blogspot.com] Virginia Vine Spot: Revisiting Linden Vineyards: Scrabble Anyone ?: Timing was just perfect as we went from the Cellar Tasting directly to the main tasting bar for Linden ’s complimentary tasting of several of their current wines that differ from what is sampled during the Cellar Tasting and are also high quality wines. We were greeted by a smiling and informative Tasting Associate that guided us through the following wines: Seyval 2005, Red 2004 (My personal favorite - 56% Cab Sauvignon, 31% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc), 2003 Claret (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, 12% Petit Verdot, and last but not least the refreshing and fruit driven Vidal Riesling 2005 (77% Vidal, 23% Riesling).

[Goodwineunder20.blogspot.com] Good Wine Under $20: 2002 Rosemount Estate Chardonnay Orange Vineyard: Because any score is subjective, I'm experimenting on this blog with indicating QPR (quality to price ratio) rather than using a 100-point scale. Of course, this is subjective, too, but I think gives a better sense of the criteria I am using to evaluate wine.

[Thecorkanddemon.blogspot.com] The Cork and Demon: Bright juicy fruit with a hint of that Cab Franc dried floral thing, good color, and in comparison of so many other Texas wines, a right solid tannic finish. All things considered, the $20 price tag isn't too bad, although someday I hope to be able to compare a $20 Texas wine to any other with impunity.
