Weekly Twitter Wine Mini-Reviews Round-up for 2009-10-10

07 Davis Bynum Chardonnay (Russian River Valley): U might be able to approximate this by stuffing a croissant into a glass of grain alcohol. #
07 Davis Bynum Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley): Enormous ultra-concentrated offering. Red berry fruit is nice but is fighting for its life #
04 Heron Hill Eclipse Red (NY): Call it Bord'x Light. Will pair w/ quite a few dishes, but I expected a little more Cab Franc bang for the $ #
05 Da Vinci Chiani Classico: Tough vintage. Lacking some focus, but the black cherry, spice & Old World earthiness more than make up for it. #
08 Castell Silvaner Trocken (Franken): Fresh & clean as your Auntie's kitchen counter. Maybe too clean. Go for lighter foods with this guy. #
06 Castell Kugelspiel Silvaner (Franken): Someone spiced up a banana & stuck it in the flower garden! And it's pretty darn tasty! #
08 Castell Trautberg Silvaner / Traminer (Franken): Starts w/ an acid scream, rests on some lychee nuts, then heads of on the mineral trail. #

Has anyone seen pardonthatvine.com It is the best video wine review site I have ever seen. I can't stop watching. Of course nothing is as good as this site!

Thanks, but at the rate that you're spamming my comments, maybe it should be called pardonthatspam.com…

The Trautburg Silvaner/Traminer sounds interesting, well they all do actually. When someone finds fault with a wine is when I really want to taste it. I love minerality in a wine.

Thanks for visiting our site too. Wanted to let you know we are putting up a long story on Rhone varietals (and soil) tomorrow.
