The attentive reader will have noted that posting has dropped way off. First, there was the vacation. Too much fun to worry about posting. Then there was the Christmas to New Years cold. Then school started. And now the cold has turned into bronchitis. All of which has left me with little energy for blogging.
It’s also given me the opportunity to reflect at some length on the basic fact...

A second label of Rancho Zabaco, a Gallo brand. Simple and one dimensional, but clean, correct, and tasty. Peaches and apricots with a bit of citrus. Oak and alcohol in moderation make it food friendly. Grade: B-/B

A lovely off-dry sparking wine. Pronounced peach and other stone fruit aromas and flavors. Plus toast and nuts on the palate. Perhaps a shade less effervescent than Veuve Clicquot’s dry Champagnes, but there’s still enough bubbles and acidity to make it refreshing rather than cloying. Grade: A--

An exceptional Cabernet, with deep and jammy berry and cocoa flavors. I’m not convinced it would age all that well, but it makes great drinking now with robust meat dishes. Grade: B++

Assuming a gathering of friends but not of wine snobs, you want good wines that will complement the food but not be the star attraction. Anyway, star attraction wines—well aged clarets, cabernets, or burgundies—don’t mesh well with Thanksgiving Day.
Granted, roast turkey would go well with most wines. Turkey is not quite as much of a blank canvas as roast chicken, as it has...

Regular readers know that I dote on Loire red wines.Their forward fruit and bright acidity make them a perfect match for the French bistro mealsof which I am inordinately fond. This Chevalerie was perfect with steak frites tonight, but it also is a rather serious wine by Loire standards. It has heft and depth. Cherries, blackberries, a somewhat meaty/gamy note,and minerals on the finish.

Given this vineyard’s history, one expected more. It’s a medium bodied, soft tannin, early drinking Cabernet with good dark fruit but not a lotof complexity or nuance. Granted, it’s pretty young, but it doesn’t appear to have the stuffing for extended aging. Grade: B/B+
