Big Nose Red



One of the perks of working in the wine industry is...wine. Shady Grove Winery is about to release it's 2007 Cuvée Gratziella, a blend of Tempranillo and Juan Garcia. Factoid for you, this is the first Juan Garcia grown in the state of Washington. I was able to get a preview the other day, and am blown away by this wine. I'll keep you updated on when it's released and where it will be available. In the mean time, try Shady Grove's Big Nose Red-if you can find it. A full bodied blend of three different Spanish variatels. At $14.00 it's a fun, big, raspberry cola, dark fruit, currant, heypeoplejustdroppedbyunexpectedlylet'sbreakthisopen table wine, and with my industry discount I can drink it everyday. Nah nah.

PS- Thanks to my five readers for your encouragement and feedback, it means a lot.
