Familia Cassone Mendoza Argentina 2003 Malbec
Good color, good smell, great taste! Enjoyed this Reserve Malbec wine with some steaks. Went down VERY well. Enjoyed it. Probably in the top 3 of the wines we’ve tried from Argentina.

Terza Volta Mendoza Argentina 2005 Sauvignon Blanc
“Floral and fresh wine, with body of fruit and silky palate, great refinement.” We actually thought it was, both smell and taste, very “earthy” and more dry compared to other Sauvignon Blancs we’ve had. Yes, it had good fruit taste but again, “earthy” to both of us after the first smell and sip. Not too bad! (and even better the 2nd and 3rd glasses.) It amazes me they just picked these grapes in February. This is a very young wine straight off the vines!
Imported by our good friend down in Argentina.

Maurice Carrie Temecula Valley 2004 Sara Bella
It’s a white Cabernet Sauvignon that is very close to Beringer’s White Zin. Wouldn’t drink nor buy this wine again… but don’t let that give you a negative view of the Temecula Valley. There are some really good wines there. And a great place to visit especially during the hot air balloon festival.

Curtis Santa Barbara County 2003 “The CrossRoad”
80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. A good, kinda “spicy” blend of grapes. Very nice flavor straight from the Curtis wine club. A must try.
